** Averted in the movie, where they give Ryder, and the Adventure Bay citizens a pinkie finger thus giving them five fingers, this is due to the fact that the franchise arrived in Japan two years before the movie came out, and the show is extremely ''HUGE'' in Japan, in fact, the movie released in Japan ''on the same day'' as the USA, and Canada, and also the fact that Western four-fingered characters are edited to include a fifth finger in the Japanese versions due to controversy surrounding four fingers.[[note]]{{Yakuza}} members chop off fingers if they can't pay back their debt or as punishment for other offences that don't warrant death, meat packers having work related accidents that involved accidentally cutting off their pinkie finger which is a highly disrespectful symbol which offends them due to their very low class working and social conditions, and in Japanese culture, the number 4 is unlucky and [[FourIsDeath also means death]].[[/note]] Not to mention, Nickelodeon and Spin Master wanted to avoid paying 5 million USD to Japanese pressure groups to avoid being sued for "insulting" four-fingered hands, unlike Nickelodeon's biggest rival in the family friendly market, Creator/{{Disney}}. [[note]]Disney had to pay said groups 5 million due to the company having a strict no censorship policy they implemented because Disney refuses to have their works being edited in any way.[[/note]]
