- Yumeko's Establishing Character Moment: hiding in the bamboo as Denga yells at her for putting salt in the teapot…again.
- The brief mentions of Yumeko's other prank ideas are also hilarious: disguising the cat as a teapot, making a closed door look open, or turning a log invisible in front of the steps.
- This exchange.Yumeko: And you won't try to kill Okame-san?Tatsumi: No.Yumeko: Or leave in the middle of the night?Tatsumi: No.Yumeko: Or tie him to a tree and hang sweet potatoes from his ears until the squirrels crawl all over him?Tatsumi: …no.
- Okame promising to lead Yumeko and Tatsumi across the mountains for a shortcut to the capital.Okame: Just follow me, then. We'll be in Sun lands before you know it.[cue Gilligan Cut]Okame: Huh. I was sure there was supposed to be a path here.
- And right afterwards, this exchange:Tatsumi: You're lost.Okame: I am not lost. I'm…momentarily confused that there's a stream here, but that is a temporary setback. I know exactly where we are.
- And immediately afterwards Yumeko has to tell him where north is.
- When being welcomed suspiciously warmly in Yamatori, we get this gem:Tatsumi: I don't like it. Something seems…off.Okame: You mean people being nice to you? Yeah, I can see how that would be unnerving.
- Yumeko, musing about a statue of Tamafuku, the God of Luck:"Does he live inside the statue then? Do you think it gets up and moves around when no one is looking? There was a teapot in the Silent Winds temple that did that sometimes, until the day Nitoru kicked it across the room."
- About stopping at an inn with a tanuki statue before it:Okame: What do you think, Yumeko-chan?Yumeko, eyeing the statue: I don't think this is a proper representation. I've never known any tanuki to have that big a scrotum.Tatsumi: He means food, Yumeko.
- Yumeko looking at her onmyoji robes in the mirror. She doesn't like the uncomfortable outfit and pins back her fox ears, which makes her cap fall off her head.
- While following a serious scene, everything about Daisuke bringing an unconscious Okame back to reality on the Path of Shadows is hilarious.Daisuke: My master used to say, sometimes a whisper is all that is needed to calm a storm, but when words fail, sometimes you need the thunder.Yumeko: What?[cue Daisuke bowing to the still-unconscious Okame, muttering an apology, and slapping him hard across the face]
- The best part? It works.
- When meeting Lady Hanshou, the Shadow Clan daimyo asks Yumeko how her trip was. Yumeko, instructed to flatter instead of telling the truth, claims it was good; but Hanshou sees through her lie and tells her to be honest. Cue Yumeko answering that the trip on the Path of Shadows was horrible, they nearly died, and Naganori smells of mushrooms. Hanshou finds her response hilarious and replies that Naganori spends so much time in his study that mold probably grows under his robes.
- This bit:Reika: How do you know this?Yumeko: Tatsumi told me.Reika: In your dream.Yumeko: Yes.
- "Your soul is very popular today, Tatsumi. Maybe you should start charging rent."
