* CracksInTheIcyFacade: Ruri Hoshino is a ReiAyanamiExpy with a blank expression, a biting wit, and a penchant for referring to everyone around her as "baka/idiots". When they're retaking the ship from the UEF in an early episode, Megumi notes the first crack in Ruri's icy exterior, saying, "Did I just see you smile?" Ruri notes that it's a possibility, adding herself to the mix when she says, "I guess we're ''all'' idiots, here."

* PacifismBreakingPoint: With the realization that the "Jovian Lizards" were not only human beings, but also fans of [[ShowWithinAShow Gekigengar III]], Yurika, Akito, and the others thought that they could extend an olive branch to the Jovians. This was further aided by the fact that Tsukomo Shiratori, an emissary of the Jovians, was friendly, cordial, and "[[IncrediblyLamePun jovial]]". They arranged a meeting with the Jovian High Command, where the Jovians revealed a series of "Non-negotiable" and unreasonable terms, demanding concessions from Earth while making none of their own. Shiratori protests, saying that he has come to realize that Earthlings are not evil, and love Gekigengar as well, and that the message of the show is that there is only one true righteous path. The Jovian commander agrees, but not in the way Shiratori expects, and the Jovian commander has him shot as a traitor. The members of the Earth delegation escape back to the Nadesico, where Yurika gives an order to fire the [[WaveMotionGun PT Cannon]]. Ruri, asks if she's sure, knowing that at this point, firing the cannon would be an irrevocable act of war, and an admission that peace wouldn't be possible. [[spoiler:Ultimatley subverted in the finale, as just as both sides are mounting for war, the Nadesico swipes an ancient relic that made the boson jumping and chulip gates possible, and send it as far away as they can, or, as Ruri puts it, "Earth and Jupiter won't be able to do much but glare at each other for awhile"]].

** In the first instance, Yurika asks what it means to be the captain, and Ruri launches into a lengthy explanation of trends and traits in captains which Megumi sums up by saying "It's saying it doesn't matter who the Captain is." Yurika runs off crying. Ruri calls Megumi out on her cruelty.
** In the second instance Yurika asks if all she's good for is performing funeral services for dead crew. Megumi, who had recently gotten into a relationship with Akito, [[LoveTriangle whom Megumi knew the Captain was infatuated with]], says that she might also be called on to perform weddings. Repeat Yurika running away crying loudly, and Ruri reaffirming that Megumi is truly cruel.

Akito is outraged, and assualts him. When they're faced by an overwhelming force of Jovian forces, and the ship too damaged to fight back, the Admiral uses a UEF ship to force the Nadesico into an open Chulip, then puts his ship between the Nadesico and the Jovians, saying he hopes it makes up for his past mistakes. Akito angrily rejects it at the time. [[spoiler: Then it turns out many months later that the Admiral survived and was taken as a prisoner of war.
