A New Nerdy Friendship

Erik and Ondina are busy spending time with each other in this episode.

This episode is a replica of A New Tail.

Xhiva is supposed to be a metaphor for how teenage boys react around girls sometimes.

Xhiva although half Indian and half Chinese, inherited his father's dark skin.

Yukimi is supposed to be a reference to Elsa from the 2013 classic Frozen.

Diablo's crack of Cam being German is a reference to the actor's last name.

Xhiva's mistake on calling Kimi a gorgeous specimen is a reference to Pitch Perfect 2.

The scene with the boys in the house is a reference to a scene from Descendants.

The scene with Diablo messing with the shrink stone is homage to the scene in Despicable Me, with Vector messing with a shrink ray.

Diablo's uncle had to leave Diablo because of tribe issues.

The reason Kimi cannot tan is because of her ice powers. Kira Sung, the person Kimi is modeled after, had a tan by the time she was 15.

Dylan Walsh was a member of Izi's swim team when she was 11 years old.

Raiden at the beach scene was talking to Cam about Mako.

Kimi is similar to Emma from H2O, rich and smart and not a snob.

An Omega's powers are tied to their emotions so the scene where Kimi is making it snow because of her emotional despair is an example.

Despite living in Australia, Kimi was born in Japan and is the Omega of Ice, she is immune to snow rash.

Each Omega has their powers to reference the climate they are used to. For example. Kimi is ice because of the cold in Japan.

Rose's joke about Cotton Parrot and the line "Dead Men Tell No Tales" is a reference to the Pirate of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. This line is also the title of the 5th installment, which was rumored to be filming in the same location as the third/fourth season of Mako Mermaids.

The scene with Helen and Kimi is a parallel considering that Helen is Ondina's counterpart and Kimi is Mimmi's counterpart and the roles are reversed.

The last scene was improvised at the last minute.

This episode starts of Yukiva, Yukimi and Xhiva.

Xhiva is the only merman whose name ends with and A

The person Kimi is modeled after, Kira Sung, is also a huge fan of Mako Mermaids.

Boys Being Boys

This episode is a serious take on Bad For Business.

This episode was made to introduce the mermen.

This episode starts off the sibling rivalry between Zac and Raiden. It was created to show a more fun version of brothers arguing.

Erik is shown the difference in this version from the original show by being a more responsible merman, like the oldest brother.

The first 3 scenes in the house are all referenced from Big Hero 6.

The nicknames were created as a way to create a sense of bonding and camaraderie amoung the mermen/merboys. Izi wanted to create a much more wild side of the sea.

The nicknames were inspired from the nicknaming from the Louis Sachar classic, "Holes". A movie version of that is on Netflix.

In fact, the Blade Boys were inspired from the movie.

Bass Boy was the nickname given to Erik. It will be changed into The Warden.

Bass Boy became Erik's nickname because the first thing that Izi thought of when she saw a vlog introducing Erik's actor, Alex Cubis, was this, "Oh God, his voice is freakishly deep!"

Raiden has Ornithophobia, fear of birds.

Raiden has a fear of birds because of an incident when he and Erik were living in Arabia.

Persephone, Erik and Raiden's mother had an embarrassing incident involving birds when she was in mermaid school.

Apparently Diablo can talk in animal form.

Diablo is a Type Alpha Morpher, a merperson whose only power is to transform into animals. There is a Type Beta Morpher, a merperson who can transform into any person and practically replicate their powers and voice. However, memories are not replicated.

Diablo's sense for mischief is a mask to hide his painful past.

Mer Twins having visions is a theory Izi has since Aquata and Sirena did not show this. Identical twins in real life are said to share dreams since their DNA is identical.

Xhiva and Xandou are inspired from Ruffnut and Tuffnut from How to Train Your Dragon.

Xhiva and Xandou despite being biracial and having different skins, is taken from the Disney Channel Comedy hit series Pair of Kings.

Diablo's line, "You was swooning" is a reference to the Sandlot.

Raiden's musical speech is reference from Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Erik's line "RAIIIIDEEEEEN!" is a reference to Dave Seville's tendency to yell "ALLLLVIIIIN!" from Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Hermanos is Spanish for Brothers.

Erik, Zac and Raiden all show a brotherly friendship is a foreshadow to chapter 20.

Thalie is modeled after Izi Wilson herself and the scenes between Raiden and Izi are like Andrew and Izi.

Because Diablo is part werewolf, his senses are heightened in the nighttime, but it actually depends on the lunar cycle.

The scene where Diablo reveals his heritage was something the author wanted to save for the end of the story but it was too priceless to sell at the end!

Each wereshifter has a mark in the shape of a pawprint. A bitten werewolf has this mark when they are turned right on the spot they were bit. A born werewolf can have this birthmark anywhere, thighs arms belly or breast.

Xhiva was orignally going to be able to read minds, a telepath, but this was changed to exploit his intelligence more.

Xhiva and Xandou are the masculine and meaner version of the original Zac and Mimmi.

Following this episode we know know that Zac has three mothers.

The scene that displays the Blade Boys' reaction to going to school is a reference to the same scene in the first 10 minutes of Descendants.

Contrary to popular belief, werewolves are not affected by a silver bullet but they can be weakened by wolfsbane. That was what Xhiva/Network used to spray Diablo/Wolfboy in the episode Descendants.

Orignally Zac was going to say in whale talk, "You have a cute butt." But Izi felt it was too inappropriate for the character's adaptation.

Chai Romruen's voice is estimated to be a tenor or a baritone. He has only sung once in a video live in Thai TV so it is hard to tell by his speaking voice. Erik is definently a bass.
