  • Yuu realizes that he only needs Nao and Yusa to accompany him on the visit to investigate Ayumi's power... so he initially wants to make Joujirou miss the trip by taking over his body and making him dive out of the student council room window. Nao stops him, though, and decides she'll do the dirty work instead: she pretends to see a giraffe to attract Joujirou's attention to the window, and kicks him through the glass.

Episode 9

  • Nao is surprised by Yuu's Catapult Nightmare.
  • A subtle one: After Kumagami comes to visit Yuu without his bangs, Nao is confused and doesn't recognize him, so he immediately put his hair down to cover his face, which Nao immediately recognize, and comments that he looks more handsome while he's dry.

  • Imagine meeting a complete stranger who already knows who you are, happily doing The Glomp on you, and giving you an embarrassing Affectionate Nickname. Yeah, that's how Kumagami feels when he first met Shunsuke.

    • The second disguise to be blown over is Yusa's, by a bunch of male students recognizing her as Yusarin the idol. Misa's interference only makes things worse.
      Misa: I ain't nothing like Yusarin!
      Male student #1: Huh? But no matter how I look at you, you're Yusarin, right?
      Misa: Then how about this? (spits at the floor) Would a pop idol do something like this?
      Male student #2: This saliva... what should I do with it? (alternatively: This saliva.... Such a waste.)
      Nao: Such a turn-off!
    • Unfortunately, Nao's words diverts the student's attention to her, with them assuming she's also an idol filming some show at their school. She decides to run away, leaving Misa. The next scene shows them running while being pursued by a mass of students.
    • The scene concludes with the expression on Yuu's face.

    Yuu: What about the vaccine?
    Shun: We can curb the number of infected that way, but it doesn't do anything for the people who already developed their abilities.
    Yuu: Then, all you have to do is make a wonder drug to counter it!
    Dr. Tsutsumiuchi: Otosaka (Shunsuke)... you are indeed a sharp one, but I guess your little brother isn't so much.

  • Shichino is demonstrating his ability to Ayumi, but unfortunately, all of them are moving to the other room after he just walks through the wall. When he's going back to the starting room where all of them were gathering to boasts himself and in tired state, the only person remaining there is Yuu.
  • Medoki invites Yuu to play mahjong along with Kumagami, Maedomori, and Shichino. Yuu feels that he's going to win, only to be fallen into Kumagami's trap, which makes him instantly lose the game.

    Kumagami: You really suck at this, are you really Shunsuke's little brother?
  • After Yuu loses the mahjong game, Kumagami has to go out, since he found another ability user. Yuu then realizes that Kumagami never needed to get himself wet to use his powers.
