Trivia

  • This opening theme premiered in France on January 12, 2025 on Canal J, one day before the release of the English dub on BBC iPlayer and CBBC. However, it was cut from the live TV broadcast as both Welcome to Naranja Academy! and Put Your Heart Into It! premiered in the same time slot.
  • The full version of the song in French, German, European Spanish, Dutch, and Brazilian Portuguese was released on digital platforms on March 7, 2025. This release occurred seven months before the season was officially announced in Spain on October 6, 2025; it is possible that the Latin American Spanish version of the song was meant to be released instead. The Latin American version of the song was later released on September 15, 2025.
  • This is the first English opening:
    • To be updated whenever a main character's Pokémon evolves.
    • Since We Will Carry On! to be longer than 30 seconds in its TV size version, at 45 seconds long.

Errors

  • In the ending credits and on digital platforms, "Isaiah Tyrelle Boyd" is misspelled as "Isaiah Tyrell Boyd".[1]
