Plot

Continuity
- Anansi and Osebo return in "Out of Africa".
Background Information
Production Notes
- When Osebo's bomb blows up, the resulting explosion is reused footage from the scene of Superman: The Animated Series episode "World's Finest, Part III" in which one Wayne/Lex T-7 blows up another droid.
Production Inconsistencies
- Robert and the bus driver say Ghana was the first independent (decolonized) country in Africa. This is not entirely true, as several countries were independent before Ghana, and what is now Ethiopia was never colonized at all. It was, however, the first sub-Saharan country to gain independence in the post-World War II decolonization era.
- No director is credited.
Trivia
- The episode centers highly on the Ashanti culture.
- Anansi, the spider, is a trickster in West African folklore.
- Osebo is only a minor character in one of the legends, a leopard tricked, caught and killed by Anansi.
- "Dr. Anokye" is likely named after Okomfo Anokye, cofounder of the Empire of Ashanti.
- Kumasi is the capital of the Ashanti region.
- The dam, though unnamed in the episode, is the Akosombo Dam
- Virgil refers to his sister as "Shoppa Zulu", a reference to the Zulu king Shaka Zulu.
