* In XCVII, one of the combatants who lost to Jack in Da Samurai's bar is a robot lookalike of {{Franchise/Popeye}}. Genndy Tartakovsky had been prepping a feature-length ''Popeye'' movie for Creator/SonyPictures, but Sony put the project on hold after the Sony Hack of 2014. Some people ([[{{Misblamed}} mistakenly]]) believed that the movie was cancelled in favor of ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie''... Which makes the presence of the Emoji Family in the season premiere all the more amusing.

* During the (non-canon) comics Jack's sword is broken, "Time Passes", and he leaves his hair unbound, carries a staff, and grows a long beard, and wears different clothing, much like after his sword is lost in Season 5. Of course, in the comics the beard and costume change are a ploy to make himself less recognizable.
