** In addition, Pandakai from the ''Power Up!'' expansion seems to be at least a wink and a nod to both Po of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' and the Pandaren from ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', with a shake of Hebai from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''.

* JustForPun:
** This game ''loves'' puns. For example, the "urbavore" card, which shows a monster devouring a building.
** Half the evolution cards in ''Power Up!'' seem to run on this. Fully 7 of Pandakai's 8 cards are puns.

An expansion to King of Tokyo, ''Power Up!'', was released in summer 2013. It adds one new monster to the available options, [[PandaingToTheAudience Pandakai]], and introduces evolution cards -- [[EveryoneHasASpecialMove monster-specific abilities]] unlocked with certain dice rolls that serve to make you even ''more'' [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill ludicrously powerful]]. The advantages offered by the evolution cards show the start of tailoring certain monsters more towards certain strategies, rather than making the monster choices arbitrary a la the vanilla game.
