a letter stating that Tintin was angry, while in the book, the fakir copied the doctor's handwriting for the letter. In the book, an unnamed Japanese person is a member of the gang. He is replaced by Allan Thompson, who Tintin recognizes, in the episode. He also recognizes Thomson. At this point in this book series, he had not met either of them yet.
