* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: This is pointed out in-universe by Double D. He knew from the start that Eddy's sumo scam never had a chance, due to sumo wrestling being a career exclusive to only Japan and them having no way of actually getting Jimmy there themselves. Instead of learning anything from this like Double D hoped though, Eddy just gets mad at him for knowing it wouldn't work and not telling him, thinking he was laughing at him behind his back.

* IgnoredAesop: A CentralTheme of the episode is Eddy refusing to learn anything in the long-term and only being interested in making money now. He refuses to take notes on Double D's lectures and after he finds out that his sumo scam was doomed from the start he gets mad at Double D for not telling him right away instead of learning something from it. His stubbornness and refusal to learn from his mistakes ends up getting him and Ed hurt by the end of the episode, and the only thing he "learned" turned out to be an idea for a new scam.

In this episode, Jimmy wishes that he was a superstar and Eddy tries to make Jimmy's wish come true by turning him into a sumo wrestler. Once he successfully does so, Eddy must now find a way to get Jimmy to Japan since, as noted by Double-D, that's the only country where sumo wrestling can be pursued on a professional level.

!!This episode contains examples of:
* BalloonBelly: Jimmy swells to absolutely gargantuan proportions after Eddy makes him overeat on peaches and cream. He's such an immobile blob of fat that he can't even walk.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: A drink variation--while in traction in Double-D's room (which the sockhead has turned into a makeshift hospital suite), Eddy's revealed to hate tea, which Double-D is forcing him to drink.
* EpicFail: In an attempt to get to Japan much quicker, Jimmy and the Eds (minus Double-D) decide to slingshot themselves all the way there using a lamppost. It ends up backfiring ''HORRIBLY'' on all three of them when Jimmy ends up stopping mid-air and crashes toward the ground, crushing Ed and Eddy in the process.
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: When Eddy gives Double-D one last chance to join him, Ed, and Jimmy as they slingshot their way to Japan, Double-D simply tells him to "break a leg." Cue the above Epic Fail and Eddy ends up breaking more than just a leg...
* GooGooGetup: For most of the episode, Jimmy is dressed up in nothing but a diaper as part of his sumo-wrestling training. Partially due to [[NationalStereotypes the stereotype that sumo-wrestlers' mawashis look like diapers]], but mostly because it amuses Eddy.
