Trivia

When Dwight calls his sensei, Ira, He gets cut off before saying "Arigato Goazai Mashta" which is an incorrect pronouncation. The correct form for what he is meaning to say is "Arigatou gozaimashita" which is a thanks to something that has been done to you. For instance you could say it to a teacher after a lesson. Along with "Sempai" which should be "Senpai" and Michael falsely identifying a Kanji as "California Roll" are just a few of the moments satirizing Dwight and Michaels "fighting knowledge".

Goofs

Michael uses emergency contact day as an excuse to get Ryan's cell phone number. Michael already got Ryan's phone number two episodes ago during the office fire, and considering how obsessed he is with Ryan, it is not likely that Michael would have forgotten to save the number when Ryan gave it to him the first time.
