• There were 24 drafts total written for this episode, each with a scene or two. The verbal standoff between Wizard Cartman and Princess Kenny’s armies (in Kenny’s backyard) was the last scene written.

• Full lyrics to Princess Kenny’s song are: "Ima Kaiobi desu. Princess Kenny Korosu. Naze matta? Naze Osoi? Kenny Chan kawai- Princessssuuuuuu"

• This sword fight required special battle poses for Butters…

• Getting Cartman's fat ass through the door on his Royal Carriage required a special pose.

Pop Culture References

• When asked about his character in South Park, "Game Of Thrones" creator George R. R. Martin said: "I’ve been told [my] character in South Park is obsessed with weenies. I have to deny this as a scurrilous rumor. I have nothing against weenies, weenies are fine. But I am not obsessed with weenies. I am definitely on the boobies side of the equation. Boobies, not weenies."
