[edit] Plot

[edit] Trivia
- The banner that is created in "The First Fight" is a homage to the banner in Seven Samurai which also represents the strong (Jack or the Samurai) defending the weak (the canines or the village).
- The six-legged insect/horse that appears in "The First Fight" resembles a heroic creature named Tundro from the Hanna-Barbera animated series The Herculoids.
