* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Testing this is the first experiment of episode 2, with Yukimura petting Himuro's head. It sets off Himuro's ExpressiveHair, prompting Yukimura to wonder what principle is allowing it to move independently. When Ibarada insists they need a control they test the gesture with her and Kanade. Kanade finds it awkward, Ibarada [[TheGadfly makes it awkward]].

* LabCoatOfScienceAndMedicine: The entire main cast, despite working in a field in which lab coats aren't really needed. The only time their presence is questioned is when Himuro and Yukimura wear theirs on their experimental date.

* BadassBookworm: Kanade. When Himuro yells for her to stop Yukimura from running away, Kanade reflexively performs a martial arts takedown on him, apologizing right afterwards when she realises she just slammed him into the floor, and causing Himuro to wonder if Kanade does martial arts. Her reaction to remembering an extremely embarrassing memory (where she viewed a club trip with her mathematics professor as a date and started waxing poetic about her love for him) is to start throwing punches. She later flips Yukimura again while drunk, and reveals she reflexively does it to people who stand behind her, and is apparently quite sensitive about it, as she just wants to be normal, and she doesn't view it as normal.
