A few weeks following broadcast of this episode, Japanese streaming services had to remove the episode for "rights issues." The exact details are not known but fans have speculated it could relate to the overt references to the anime Space Runaway Ideon (1980). Other theories have suggested it could relate to the subplot of Shizuka's mentor putting on an all-female-version of "Waiting for Gadot" of which the playwright, Samuel Beckett has famously objected to women performing.
