In the “30 Minutes Over Tokyo” episode from Season 10, the Simpsons embark on a journey to Japan due to some incredibly affordable plane tickets. While Homer is initially hesitant, Marge reminds him of his admiration for various Japanese cultural elements, like the film “Rashomon” by Akira Kurosawa. Homer humorously retorts that he doesn’t recall it in that manner.
This playful nod to “Rashomon” mirrors the film’s theme, where characters offer differing, subjective accounts of a single event, challenging our understanding of truth.
