"Would you happen to have a source(s) that indicates that this episode actually exists or at least was in development at one point?" nothing but that now archived interview with Danny. Not sure if it is legit or not, though.

And as for the link to the Edternal Summer promo, I do believe this is the alleged scene. I'm not sure if this was supposed to be "Special Ed", another unaired episode, or if I just don't recognize it and was fooled.

"I do believe the '3 Men/Dudes' story is completely fictitious" so do I. AKA and its staff have been straight forward about Ed Edd 'n Eddy's history in which Danny was dared into making a show for children.

There are a lot of silent films that exist simply because of good luck. Bram Stoker's widow successfully sued to have every print of Nosferatu destroyed because she did not give Murnau's company the rights to adapt Dracula. Fortunately the film survives because of a few underground prints.

Similarly The Unknown (1927) only existed in poor quality gray market prints that were circulated between around 1930 and 1980-something. Fortunately a fine 35MM print was located in France where it was marked "Unknown" which led its archivists to believe it was "unknown" what the film was.

The 1910 version of Frankenstein was thought to be lost until Alois Dettlaff, who bought the film at a yard sale in the 70s, came to the knowledge that the film was missing. It's a miracle that one got released, he was practically holding the film hostage for a large sum of money for a few decades.

The Passion of Joan of Arc was believed to be destroyed in a fire. Carl Theodor Dreyer cobbled a print full of alternate takes which was in circulation for a while until a print was discovered in a mental institution in Oslo (the asylum was previously a movie theater).

The 1903 version of Alice in Wonderland was believed lost until a decomposing print was donated to the BFI in the 1960s when it was copied onto safety stock just in time, with only a few shots gone forever.

There are a few silent Universal films that only survive thanks to their show-at-home library which predates home video.

And then films that only survive in fragments is a whole different story.

I wish entertainment companies would release alternate takes, workprints, every episode of the television shows they have, deleted scenes, unrestored versions of older films, all kinds of different cuts, and even dubs.

" It had a Japanese theme, correct?" correct. Fortunately it has been circulated all over the internet so no one has to worry about it ever going missing again.
