Funny / Snow White with the Red Hair

• Raj doing the mirror, mirror on the wall bit, only for his retainer to tell him he's talking to a messenger, not a mirror.
• When Zen sees Shirayuki for the first time, he trips off the wall. Causing his retainers to check for a concussion by asking what one plus one is. Later, when Zen claims to be a prince, Shirayuki repeats it, not believing him.
  Mitsuhide: (in a panic) Tell me! What's 1 plus 1?
  Zen: Purple?
• In episode 3, Lowen invites Shirayuki to the castle because Zen is overworking himself, thus setting off a cascade of funny.
  • Zen has this over-the-top GLOOM! background at introduction, and then thinks that Shirayuki's presence is a dream or hallucination. Shirayuki's straight-woman underscores it.
  • Lowen describes Zen "working like a baby out of spite" because he was scolded by advisors for staying out longer than they thought he would. Then he teases Zen for saying that he'd rather see Shirayuki than sleep. Zen's reaction is adorably funny.
  • Retainer double-team! Kiki mentions that Zen, in his sleep-deprived state has written Shirayuki's name on several documents, and Lowen follows up by saying that, if he doesn't want to reply to letters with "Shirayuki" he should take time off.
  • Zen says Kiki and Lowen are being unfair by using Shirayuki to make him take a break. They salute in perfect synchronization and say, "We understand that, sir."
• Obi's response to Lord Hakorum's plan going up in smoke is exemplary of his gadfly aspect. It's like this has all been one harmless prank to him.
  • Applaud from a tree branch and tell the truth because he can't escape Kiki and Lowen. He's like a cat trapped in a tree by dogs.
  • Zen is angry and up in his face about the scare attempt, and Obi says he is far too scared of Shirayuki to try again. When asked why Zen should believe him, he says "Because I'm an honest guy?" Then he pratfalls out of a window.
  • Kiki tells him to come with her in the sense of arresting him, and he just smiles and says, "I'd follow you anywhere". Lown calls him "pathetic" and Obi replies "I'd prefer you call me 'Obi'."
• Episode 6, Raj tries to avoid Prince Izuna's attempts to send Shirayuki home with him by claiming that Zen thinks of her as his fiancé. Zen was not amused.
  Lord Haruka: Is this a statement we should believe?
  Izuna: (looking genuinely mortified) I believe I'm going to vomit.
  • In Universe; Izana, once he'd dismissed Shirayuki after their initial meeting, starts laughing at Shirayuki's accurate but informal description of him as "Zen's big brother."
• Episode 9, Drunk Shirayuki shouting "I NEVER LEARNED HOW TO RIDE A HORSE" out of nowhere is bound to cause chuckles.
• In episode 10, Lord Brecker attempts to sabotage the messenger bird test by throwing the bell that summons the bird into the water and locking Shirayuki in a room. Shirayuki jumps out a window to escape and retrieve the bell, right as we cut to Obi walking up the stairs. He sees Shirayuki through the window of the staircase he's on. The way his face switches from "Wait, what?" to "OH, SHIT!" is hilarious.◊
  • Obi's manga reaction is much the same but happens right when he arrives and gets off his horse, one of the assistants points out the tower and Shirayuki jumps out the window right as Obi looks up.
• Episode 12, Obi's rather flimsy explanation for his alias "Nanaki".
  Obi: Hey master, did you watch me win that match? (all smiles) Look, I got a prize.
  Zen: Your not supposed to disappear like that! And who's this Nanaki anyway?
  Obi: (still smiling) For tournaments like this I use a stage name. So I can feel famous!
• Episode 2 of Season 2, Shirayuki and Lord Haruka's reunion is understandably tense. Though she was confident when she stood up to him before, for some reason this time around poor Shirayuki is a bundle of nerves when interacting with the lord.
  • Obi and Haruka's Oh, Crap! reaction upon seeing each other again.
• When Kiki cuts her hair, Obi has this to say...and later Shirayuki says the same thing.
  Shirayuki: I'll kind of miss seeing her with long hair and how she would let it down.
  Obi: You agree!
  Zen: ...Shirayuki, why is your reaction exactly the same as Obi's?
• Izana requires that Zen must go on a date with one of his potential suitors. So he goes on date with Kiki since she is a noblewoman. Izana admits that was clever, and it was his mistake for not taking her name off the list. Then he remarks that Zen's next "date" will be with Mitsuhide.
• Obi teases Zen about peeking in on Kiki and Shirayuki in the bath while the two of them are bathing together.
  Obi: Well, master... Shall we try to find a spot where we can peek in on the ladies?
  Zen: [blushing] STOP IT!
  Obi: [laughing] Calm down, master. I was just kidding. You're so gullible.
  • Zen was at least half saying stop in response to Obi standing up in the bath and coming towards Zen like he was going to hug him.
• After Kiki and Shirayuki take a bath in the inn, Mitsuhide asks how it went. When Kiki gives him an odd look, he backpedals and explains that he meant because they never get time alone together to talk.
• In the past, Mitsuhide did not realize Kiki was a girl and did things like offer to take a bath with her, with Zen wondering how he didn't know. When he does find out he is mortified, and Kiki admits she said nothing as well because she found it funny.
• When Zen admits to Mukaze, Shirayuki's father, that he loves her, Mukaze shouts that he will never allow it, causing Zen to recoil. He then admits he was joking, but he always wanted to say it, and supports the relationship. Zen then goes down the stairs to a very redfaced Shirayuki, who had heard the entire thing.
• During Shirayuki's kidnapping, Zen keeps his cool. Mitsuhide and Kiki decide to help him vent by five-star back-slapping him.
  Zen: [groaning in pain] What... was that for?!
  Kiki: It's not that we don't appreciate you maintaining your composure throughout all this...
  Mitsuhide: But, you need to vent some of your frustration and anger. If not, you'll spontaneously combust.
  Zen: So, you're just helping me burn off some of the steam? [Death Glare] That's oh so kind of you.
  [Kiki slides behind Mitsuhide as they both realize they may have screwed up.]
• Obi teases Zen that Shirayuki is in the bath while they're waiting for her to join them for drinks in the common area of their wing of the castle.
  Obi: She's in the bath and you're just waiting................heh.
  Zen: *tackles him*
  Obi: *rolling around on the floor with Zen not trying to escape* It was nothing master, I swear it was nothing!
  Zen: *trying to smack Obi and untangle himself from him* Then what were you trying to suggest!
• When Izana is marveling at how many letters have arrived at the castle from the families of noblewomen hoping to marry Zen, he wonders aloud if Zen went running around handing flowers to everyone. Zakura points out Zen's high number of suitors is actually Izana's fault.
  • In episode 10 of season 2 of the anime. Lord Haruka sounds about as annoyed with Izana as he usually is with Zen.
• When Zen complains about the cold in Lyrias, Obi suddenly perks up and runs off to buy him something. He comes back with animal ear shaped earmuffs like Yuzuri wears and then acts horribly disappointed when Zen doesn't look as silly as he was hoping he would when wearing them. Zen then makes Obi wear them for the rest of the day.
