Hideshi Yoshida notes: “パンダってかわいいですよね？ このパンダもそう自負しているらしく、そのかわいさで宇宙を征服するという壮大な計画を立てているようです。 でも、その『かわいさ』に普遍的価値はあるのでしょうか？ そんな思いを作品にしました。” ("Pandas are cute, aren't they? This panda seems to have that same confidence and appears to be planning a grand scheme to conquer the universe with its cuteness. But does that 'cuteness' hold universal value? I created a piece of work with that thought in mind.").
