* ShipSinking: During one of Akihiko's Social events, Makoto has the opportunity to ask Akhiko and Mitsuru if they're dating; Akihiko quickly responds "Don't be stupid" before describing Mitsuru as "troublesome" and more a comrade to him than a potential love interest; being that Makoto asks this, it could also be inferred that the trope also applies to the Makoto[=/=]Mitsuru ship as well (or at the very least, that he hasn't completed her Social Link yet).

* BadBadActing: When S.E.E.S. displays skepticism at Elizabeth's attempts to goad them into dancing as part of her contest with Caroline and Justine, she cries fake tears and tries to ellicit sympathy with melodrama. No one is moved and both Aigis and Mitsuru lampshade how poor Elizabeth's acting is. The only reason anyone goes along with it is because of Makoto's partnership with Elizabeth and feelings of being indebted to her.
-->'''Aigis:''' Those are obviously CrocodileTears.\\
'''Mitsuru:''' She's attempting to appeal to our emotions, hm? However, her acting lacks any true sentiment.

** The lyrics to "Our Moment" and "Moonlight Serendipity" suggest that S.E.E.S. weren't taken from the events of ''VideoGame/Persona3'', but rather that they were taken from the present day, circa ''VideoGamePersona5'', and aged down to the age they were when they were last with Makoto; however, outside of Fuuka and Futaba briefly using the internet to communicate with one another, there isn't much evidence elsewhere in the game to support this idea.
