Trivia / Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

• Dueling Works:
  • The first season of anime version aired the same season as By the Grace of the Gods, another Slice of Life Isekai show. Both shows even feature their main characters getting involved in similar activities like clearing out goblin camps, exposing embezzlement schemes, and starting their own businesses.
  • Thanks to a Schedule Slip, the final two episodes of the second season of Bofuri: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense., which had introduced their own pair of black and white bears that have cub and regular-sized versions, aired around the same time Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Punch! began airing.
• What Could Have Been: During the Mithril Knife/Mines arc, the author revealed they were originally planning to give Yuna a Bear Skill that automatically dismantled items put inside the Bear Box. This would have made Fina of questionable worth as a companion and made this entire arc redundant, so they were glad they decided against it.
• Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: Kumanano has always been quite blatant about how they don't have any pre-planning whatsoever for the story, coming up with the plot chapter-by-chapter, and even posting online about not knowing what they'll do with present plot-points or how they'll resolve a conflict until they write the next chapter.
