Funny / Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online

I'll always be with you LLENN-chan!

General

• Let's say this again; chibi girl wearing pink combat suit and bunny-ears helmet, armed with a P90 sub-machine gun...
• The Squad Jam tournament was just introduced into Gun Gale Online at the start of the storyline. Pitohui explained that someone, apparently a novelist who is also a gun-nut, wrote to the game developer ZASKAR to have the tournament included in the tournament. Considering that the author is so into guns their penname is partly based on a gun manufacturer, it's safe to say it's a Self-Insert.
  Pitohui: "Well, a gun maniac alone is unusual enough, but a novelist is even more so. What the heck is with such a combination? If you see such a guy walking around town, you’d better arrest him."
  • And the novel came out before the Battle Royale video game boom in late-2017. Prescience much?
  • Even more hilarious in the anime, as the character looks like and is voiced by Sigsawa himself.
• From SJ2 onward, there's a member of the audience who often refers to LLENN, and sometimes Fuka, as his, and he's often with someone who tells him that "she's not yours".
  • He makes his first appearence before LLENN's first fight in SJ2
  #1 LLENN Fan: Nah. There's no way my LLENN's gonna bow out this early, right?"
  Other Fan: Yeah. Wait, when did she become yours?
  • Then after her and Fuka's victory.
  #1 LLENN Fan: You guys catch that? That's the power of my LLENN and her partner!"
  Other Fan: Yeah, they're pretty good. But neither of them are yours.
  • In SJ4, the guy attempts a compromise...
  #1 LLENN Fan: You know what? You're right. She's ours.
  Other Fan: I won't deny that.
  #1 LLENN Fan: You won't?!
  • When bemoaning the massive disadvantage that LLENN is under against the Alliance's three Humvees and the sniper team;
  #1 LLENN Fan: My LLENN doesn't stand a chance...
  Other Fan: I agree with you man...
  #1 LLENN Fan: You finally admit she's my LLENN?
  Other Fan: Not that part!
  

Series

Squad Jam 1 (Volume 1/Episodes 1 - 5)

• When LLENN is told by M to move out from the forest, she later finds out that he's taking advantage of her position as squad leader since she's the one who gets detected by scan sweeps during Squad Jam games. M doesn't see a reason why LLENN is pissed, which makes her pissed even more.
• Seeing LLENN run so fast she blitzes down the highway is both funny and awesome!
• When LLENN takes out an entire elite squad, the final survivor asks in shock "Are you human?!" as the bullet prediction line beams onto his head and LLENN sprays him with bullets.
• Jack, the last survivor of his team, yells out to his teammates instead of checking their status, resulting in an enemy pretending to be a teammate long enough to get Jack out of cover and riddle him with bullets. As the gunman smugly notes how stupid Jack is, he then observes how he's the last one on his team before getting Killed Mid-Sentence by an enemy he hadn't noticed.
• LLENN's Super-Speed towards the end of the episode is enacted in a way most old-school FPS players are all too familiar with and unironically fitting for her Animal Motifs: bunny-hopping.
• In the first volume of the light novel, Pito describes killing a dog-like monster in a ruined church and finding a wedding dress and a tuxedo hanging inside.
  Pito: That actually got me a little misty-eyed. You felt the love between them, the idea that an extinction-level war might be imminent and they wanted to get married anyway. And it was like the doggy was doing his best to protect them.
  LLENN: That's a nice story.
  Pito: So I blasted both those outfits with my shotgun.
  LLENN: No longer a nice story!
• When Karen goes to buy a copy of ALO, the store clerk is intimidated by the height of this girl.
• Karen's attempts at converting between games leads to some hilarious results. In one game she's an overweight pilot, in another game she's a Frieza-like alien wearing a bikini, an Amazonian warrior, an orc, and a mermaid. The shock of her still being tall and sometimes ugly causes the Amusphere to register her high heart rate and log her out, which eventually leads her to fall out of the bed onto the ground.
• Upon finally finding GGO, LLENN is overjoyed she's now an adorable little girl, looking at her reflection and pinching her cheeks in joy, before prancing about saying "kawaii!" much to the confusion of onlookers.
• LLENN trying out the GGO tutorial has her being yelled at by an NPC Drill Sergeant Nasty, who calls her a dung beetle, orders her to answer with "Yes, ma'am!" and leaves her constantly terrified.
  • When the NPC asks why LLENN came to this world, LLENN answers "to be cute", which the NPC angrily corrects her with "TO SURVIVE!"
  • The drill sergeant starts with calling LLENN a "dung beetle" as an insult, and doesn't let up during LLENN's training.
    "Excellent, dung beetle! Never pick up a sniper rifle again."
• Pitohui explains she has tattoos on her cheeks to keep male players from hitting on her. She suggests LLENN try it out too, though LLENN is less than keen about this idea.
• After LLENN buys and names P-chan, Pitohui gives a lecture that makes it sound like P-chan is a pet, telling LLENN she needs to "feed P-chan plenty of enemy blood."
• When Pitohui asks LLENN if she's ever heard of Squad Jam, LLENN mistakes it for "squid jam", as in jam made from squid. Pitohui has to explain to her what the individual English words mean.
• While Pitohui tries to get LLENN to feel excited for Squad Jam and convince her to sign up, LLENN sarcastically asks if Pito expected her to go "Yay! Let's do it!"
• After LLENN agrees to partaking in the Squad Jam, Pitohui starts excitedly patting her on the shoulders so hard that it hurts her.
• M and LLENN meeting for the first time. LLENN is immediately intimidated by his size and his serious expression, to the point him so much making a move or uttering a word will startle her.
  • During M's assessment of LLENN's abilities, he tells her to tumble down a slope, which causes her to become dizzy and gain spiral eyes^note one of the rare instances Sword Art Online has used Animesque elements which are usually averted to give the series a sense of realism. She then recovers and notices M's MK-14 EBR rifle, during which M explains in detail the weapons he carries. After his explanation LLENN is still lying on the ground looking up at him from an upside down position.
• Just before Squad Jam begins, M gives LLENN a very vivid and graphical lesson on how to use a knife to kill an enemy, highlighting in great detail all of the weak points of the human anatomy where the knife should be aimed at. Even holding the knife to LLENN's throat to demonstrate, leading a wide eyed LLENN to wonder who M is in real life. After the explanation LLENN answers with a "Ohhhhh."
• When asked by LLENN how he was able to guide her through such complex routes, M explains he has a natural talent for navigating and a sense of geography. LLENN then excitedly believes M's name to stand for "Map" or "Mapper", to which M does not know how to respond.
• While LLENN and M are walking beside the lake, LLENN starts humming nonchalantly while M remains all serious. This is immediately followed by them getting ambushed by another team riding hovercrafts on the lake.
• LLENN goes to take out the last member of the enemy team during the lakeside battle, and blasts him with a burst from her P90... then shoots again... then shoots AGAIN until the entire 50-round magazine is empty! The juxtoposition of the cute pink girl doing an extreme overkill and saying sorry about it is just ridiculous.
• After LLENN foils M's attempt to betray her and instead holds him at gunpoint while trying to get him to talk, the usually serious M suddenly breaks into tears and emotionally begs for his life. What really sells it is the look of complete disbelief on LLENN's face◊ as she watches this display accompanied by Audible Blinks.
• Team SHINC are heard chanting a campfire-style song about hunting the tasty rabbit, with the rabbit being LLENN.
• While LLENN is analyzing her past victories and planning her next move, she suddenly hears a voice encouraging her to keep moving forward and win. When LLENN looks for the source of the voice, P-chan sprouts eyes and is revealed to be the one talking to her. LLENN freaks out!
• After LLENN decided to face her enemies head on, noting she was most effective at close range, Team SHINC find her casually sitting on a rock waiting for them and asks "looking for me?", Eva shoots at her and LLENN ducks backwards using a Bullet Time, all the while keeping a sweet smile on her face.
• When LLENN sees M has fallen after his Mexican Standoff shootdown, she rushes over to see if he's alright. She finds M with his head facing the same way as his space battleship armor shell, causing LLENN to freak, believing his head has twisted around. Then when M sits up, she freaks again thinking he's a ghost! Turns out M was wearing his backpack from the frontside to keep him from getting hit.
• The moment is equally Heartwarming, but the fact that the badass Amazon Brigade that LLENN struggled against for the past episode-and-a-half is IRL the group of adorable schoolgirls she passes by every day.
• Episode 5.5 of the anime, which has M reporting to Pito what happened in the Squad Jam.
  • Pito's Blood Knight laughter at LLENN taking people out.
  • Pitohui telling M she didn't care about what he did during the Squad Jam at all and to rush over his parts.
  • The entirety of the post-credits short scenes, where allegedly the SJ sponsor had taken footage and edited in silly lines of dialogue and sound effects which are more akin to bloopers:
    • LLENN and M being teleported into the forest, has them repeatedly trying to reset but continuously being teleported back into the woods after 108 times.
    • LLENN giving a completely incoherent string of words to describe the enemies.
      M: All right, I completely understand.
      LLENN: You're impressive.
    • When Team ZEMAL have ambushed LLENN and continuously shoot at her, the opening theme starts playing for them. To which LLENN complains about them playing cool music at a time like this since she was the main character. Then M remarks they looked tough and since he didn't want to die he was going to join their team. LLENN calls him a traitor.
    • When LLENN and M are getting shot at from hovercrafts, the Bullet Prediction Lines get replaced by LLENN making "pew pew" sound effects.

Squad Jam 2 (Volumes 2 - 3/Episodes 6 - 12)

• LLENN is delighted to find a second P90 in store and buys it to replace the original. She contemplates naming it "P-chan II" or "P-chan the second" before settling on just P-chan. She then starts singing sweetly about her new gun and describing what firing it is like before running into Eva.
• The real life Team SHINC gushing over LLENN and excitedly asking Karen how she killed them. Said line would have very different interpretations anywhere else.
• Goushi appears to have No Sense of Personal Space with quite a few instances of him getting too close for comfort to Karen.
• Goushi performs a Wall Pin of Love next to Karen. But turns out it's Goshi confessing his love for Pito. Karen seems torn between relieved that she's not being crushed on by someone weird and disappointed that she's second fiddle to someone else's love.
• Goushi hates black coffee as it makes his stomach churn, but Pito loves it so he drinks it too (though not with a straight face). Karen is amazed at what love can make someone do.
• Fukaziroh quite liked her short, cute GGO avatar, but is disappointed it's lacking in the chest department.
  • It seems that guy from SAO who tried to buy Kirito's avatar likes hanging around near windows while new players are looking at their reflection. When Fuka is checking herself out, he proclaims she had a rare F9000 avatar and tries to buy it off her. While Fuka is confused at how to respond LLENN immediately drags her away.
• Fuka decides to make a game out of seeing how many guys would hit on her. Just as she leaves the cafe, LLENN leans too far back on her chair and falls over.
  • The dub's version of this is funny for how outrageous it is: "I want to see how many creeps I can get to creep on me."
  • Fuka ended up racking up 43 players trying to talk to her. She then considers the possibility of a reverse harem.
• When Fuka gets given 10,000,000 free credits left by M, she cautiously asks LLENN if her organs were going to get harvested or if she would be contracted to work on a fishing boat. When LLENN tells her probably not, Fuka instead requests seeing M in person so she could marry him!
• Fuka has the same mentality in buying weapons as LLENN, picking her gun based on how cute it is. Ironically LLENN thinks the grenade launcher she chose is hideous. The light novel goes into her inner monologue on exactly why she finds it so ugly:

  "The gun looks like a crossbreed between a revolver and submachine gun that had a mistake in size adjustment and thus ended up growing a belly."

• When LLENN worries about how expensive the grenade launchers are and how eager Fuka is of spending money, Fuka keeps answering with "don't worry, we got a sugar daddy."
• Fuka hams it up big when she goes ballistic with her grenade launchers.
• Target practice with Fuka! LLENN wants to see the Bullet Prediction Line for Fuka's grenade launchers, but once they're aimed at her Fuka decides to let LLENN practice dodging. LLENN has to run at top speed to avoid being blown up, while screaming in terror. Fuka nonchalantly praises LLENN for being fast, while LLENN just gets angry at such praise following her nearly being killed.
• Team ZEMAL watch LLENN's registration into Squad Jam 2 and declare this time they would kill her, only for it to be revealed they're in the field where monsters spawn, with them promptly getting attacked by a giant worm monster.
• After seeing LLENN's dour expression at worrying over Pito, Fuka assumes LLENN needs to go to the bathroom and offers to go with her if she's scared.
• Just before the start of Squad Jam 2, Miyu binges on ice cream and gets an upset stomach. Texting LLENN, Miyu explains in great detail on how she's wiping her butt and run out of toilet paper.
  • As a result, Team LF only manage to make it just on time. Fuka wonders if they'll get time to have a drink, to which LLENN points out she'll just upset her stomach again. But Fuka reassures her that she already emptied her bowels.
• Fuka named her twin grenade launchers "Migita"^note "right boy"; dubbed as "Rightony" and "Hidariko"^note "left girl"; dubbed as "Leftania". When LLENN asks how Fuka tells them apart, she says the names are assigned to whichever one she's holding in her right or left hand.
• Fuka had a serious case of Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny! throughout the episode, getting distracted at everything. When she sees a bigger town, she suggests going there to buy clothes during the tournament.
• When LLENN gets despaired at Team PM being as far as possible from her, Fuka puts on a deep voice to give her a Rousing Speech.
• LLENN takes out the first team with ease much like she did with Team Narrows, with one of the guys she beat by slashing his crotch with her knife. Back in Glocken, two guys watching the live feed grab their crotches and say they can feel it too.
• There's one guy who keeps claiming LLENN and Fuka as "my LLENN and her partner", before his friends tells him neither of them belonged to him.
• After Fuka's legs grow back after they were blasted off by a booby trap, she excitedly dances and sings in celebration, before LLENN reminds her of more potential traps that could be waist or head height.
• When Eva Trash Talks another team for running away by shouting "You bastards! Does no one have the balls to fight us?!", Sophie reminds her that role playing too much in-game would transfer to real life. So Eva repeats the insult elegantly in a lady-like manner.

  Eva: Everyone, have you testicles?

• Pito's massacre of the allied teams manages to be simultaneously tick all the boxes for Funny, Awesome, and Nightmare Fuel. The thrill she gets from the carnage she causes is so over the top it can be just as hilarious as it is disturbing.
• After Pito had butchered the entire teams sent to take the mountain, she's seen idly standing next to the final two survivors on the ground. When M asks what she's doing, she answers she's waiting for one of them to draw his weapon because she would feel guilt for attacking someone defenseless.
• The fact that the seven team leaders that Pitohui snipes are anime versions of The Expendables.
• While LLENN is slaughtering the teams trying to ambush her in the dome, she holds one guy at gunpoint and orders him to tell his friends "I killed Pink", when he asks what would happen if he refused, she promptly shoots him dead and continues her massacre.
• As Fuka watches LLENN slaughter several teams trying to ambush them in the dome, Fuka gives a Thousand-Yard Stare and vows to never gets in a fight with Karen in the real world.
• One guy tries to sneak attack Fuka from behind, however Fuka draws a pistol on him as he's crouched on the ground. She proceeds to empty the entire barrel at him... and not a single bullet hits. The guy then gets up and tells Fuka since corpses remain as Immortal Objects, he could do whatever he wanted to her body without the Harassment Code coming up. Cue Fuka picking up his assault rifle and bashing his head in with it. Then she strikes a victory pose.

  Fuka: Never underestimate a fairy with a broad sword!

  • While in the anime, she's able to blundgeon him to death, she's subjected to Adaptional Wimp in the novel. This leads LLENN finding her beating on the poor sap and him begging for a Mercy Kill, with LLENN obliging.
• The entire scene with Clarence. LLENN forcibly takes all of Clarence's magazines, to which Clarence agrees in exchange for a kiss from LLENN. While disgusted, LLENN complies to Clarence's request, resulting in Clarence getting visibly aroused. Then Clarence reveals he's actually a girl with an androgynous avatar and she's into both guys and girls. Clarence then proposes meeting LLENN and Fuka for tea after the tournament for a girl's hangout. LLENN and Fuka can only gives Blank Stares.
• When Eva agrees to team up with LLENN to help take down Pitohui, they call the mission "Operation Sweets" because LLENN promises to feed them lots of sweets when they meet in real life.
• LLENN continues the Running Gag of thinking how she has to kill Pito to save Pito, this time going as far as praying to God Himself to keep Pitohui safe so she can kill her!
• The fact that LLENN was Locked Out of the Loop regarding Pito's activities earlier in the tournament. LLENN is shocked that Pito took out all six of Team MMTM on her own, unaware that a few episodes ago Pitohui had just killed twenty of them.
• When Fuka decided to join Team SHINC in attacking Pito, LLENN tries to stop her, however she trips over due to Fuka having tied LLENN's shoe laces to one of her grenade launchers. Fuka adds that whoever could undo such a knot deserved to be King of the World. It takes LLENN a while before she figures out it's a reference to the Gordian Knot.
• The return of P-Chan, now with winking animation.
• Pitohui and M chase after LLENN in a military Humvee with Pitohui on the roof. She uses her foot to step on M's head to prompt him to go faster.
• Fukarizoh role-playing again as if she was an action movie hero, picking up LLENN with a really corny pick-up line. It involves not going home that night and love hotels.
  • Also on that note, Fuka even being able to drive the Hummer.
• The end of the episode, where Pitohui is admiring LLEN's carnage and intention to beat her... while she has a bootprint shaped like an exclamation point on her face and a nosebleed that makes her look like a pervert.
• As soon as LLENN kills Pitohui, Team T-S shows up on the scene and abruptly guns down both LLENN and Fukaziroh, becoming the winners of the Squad Jam 2 tournament. Back in Glocken, however, the crowd watching the livestream is outraged that a team which had spent the entire tournament camping out on the boundary wall and barely engaged in any combat whatsoever (they only killed Team ZEMAL) turned out to be the champions. Guys in the lobby◊ are booing and giving them middle fingers and thumbs downs. The light novel mentions that the T-S players had to log out immediately and didn't dare show their faces in town for fear of being lynched.
• Miyu wasn't joking when she said she wanted to marry M a few episodes earlier. When she meets the real life Goushi, her jaw drops at how handsome he is and she immediately starts checking him out, telling him she would like to marry him, and asks if he's available. Of course, he's not.
• While Goushi gushes over how beautiful Pitohui is in his story, Miyu tells him to turn around, to which he says both Miyu and Karen were lovely but didn't hold a candle to Pito.
• Goushi describes what seems to be a romantic story of how he met Pitohui, only to abruptly reveal he had been stalking Pitohui. Then he reveals that after he saved her from a more unhinged stalker and she invited him to her place, she held him captive and physically abused him while using threats to make him serve her. He states he lost all his freedom, ending up being her servant and pandering to her every whim, and that those were the best moments of his life. Miyu and Karen can only stare on in shock.
  • When Goushi gets to the part of his story where he's describing him "following around" Pitohui, Miyu raises a hand and blurts out "Officer!"
  • After hearing Goshi's story on how he met Pitohui, Karen decides that "M stands for masochist."
• The fact that LLENN and Pitohui have Swapped Roles in regards to their physical appearances in real life. Karen is extremely tall in real life while short and cute in-game, while Elza Kanzaki is tiny and pretty in real life while she's tall and menacing in-game. Though doesn't stop Elza from still treating Karen like a little girl, referring to her as Karen-chan and asking her to kneel down to properly see her like something a mother would say to her growing daughter.
• When they meet in real life, Elza kisses Karen on the lips. Miyu's reaction along with Goshi's lack of a reaction make it even more hilarious.
• In the second light novel, one of the guys playing in Squad Jam 2 is trying to treat the tournament as a Let's Play by constantly commentating on the chaos going on around him. Unfortunately for him, he has to stop using his radio to do the commentary which puts him in radio silence from the rest of his squad. The whole team gets taken out by MMTM, and when he is the last man standing, he gets down and lays still to avoid detection, and says the most stream-of-consciousness last words before he's taken out.
  "To all the people... watching this video... right now... I am no longer able to move. All of my comrades have been killed. I’m probably done for too. I’ll probably get hit by a bullet and die. I’ll probably freeze in the snow. The fact that the ice cream I bought on my way home from primary school is what comes to mind at a time like this… is ironic. It was tasty… But, I haven’t been hit a single time yet… So maybe, I might not get hit this time either!"
  Beat
  (BANG!)
• The third light novel has Karen and Miyu's reactions to Goshi/M's story.
  Miyu: Um, have you sold the movie rights yet? Because I could direct this.
  Karen: (thinking)So this is how Pito and M came to be. I guess the M definitely doesn't stand for map.
• After Goshi reveals that he lost weight because he was so busy following Pito's orders, Miyu suggests that he write a book called "The Henchman Diet."

Squad Jam 3 (Volumes 4 - 5)

• In the prologue, and later on, LLENN finds herself under heavy fire from NPC and requests help, only for the others to say they can't and joke around about it. When she curses them and claims she'll become a ghost and haunt them, Pito questions if this is possible and Fuka responds that LLENN's so smart that she could probably find a way.
• While Elza and Goushi are driving home, the former is ready to fall asleep but orders Goushi to tell her some news that would keep her from sleeping. His fears prove founded, since she's immediately awake and hits him on the back of the head.
• When they hear the news about SJ3, ZEMAL's excitement gives birth to a Machine Gun cult that praises the God "Open Bolt".
• In a bit of hilarious Irony, KKHC display clear reluctance to participate in the SJ3 due to their previous loss, citing that the only reason they're playing is to practice their shooting, which is the exact reason Shirley gave for not wanting to take part before they practically forced her. Then karma rears it's ugly head in the form of Shirley, who's become a Blood Knight obsessed with killing Pitohui and avenging their previous loss, intimidates them into joining.
• Clarence is able to strong-arm Sam, a member of her squadron in Middle-Eastern attire, into joining her for the tournament, then gets the others, who say they're busy the day of the tournament because they Fuka is happy to be re-united with Rightony and Leftania, questioning if LLENN's been feeding them since they feel lighter and saying how she hasn't forgetten about them for a seco... more than a handful of seconds.
• Pito decides to call their team LPFM because it will be hard for their enemies to say, so much so that they may end up inadvertently biting their tongues.
• To apologise to LLENN for dragging her into the tournament, she presents her with a box of Plasma Grenade Launcher rounds that Fuka. LLENN is thankful for the gift... until she realizes that they're more for Fuka than her, quickly angering her again.
  • In response, Pito tells her that stressing so much will make her go bald.
• When LLENN expresses concern that Fuka's new Plasma rounds could put Fuka at risk if they get shot, Fuka says she doesn't have to worry since she has such a capable team, which LLENN is touched by. Then Fuka mentions how she'd rather take the others out with her if she kicks, prompting LLENN to avert her eyes in annoyance.
• This entire exchange;
  Pitohui: I actually hate [M]
  Fukaziroh: Yeah, that makes sense.
  Pitohui: Who wants a creepy stalker around?
  Fukaziroh: I totally get it.
  Pitohui: I ruthlessly made fun of him for being fat, and then he goes and gets all thin and hot all of a sudden.
  Fukaziroh: It's not even fair.
  Pitohui: Then he starts acquiring a fashion sense, and all of a sudden the women are all over him.
  Fukaziroh: Simply unforgivable.
  Pitohui: I tried to beat him up daily to change the shape of his face, but it's surprisingly hardy.
  Fukaziroh: I just can't stand out
  Pitohui: Instead, I try to mentally break him down within the game, but he just sticks around, takes a vacation to go practice shooting overseas, and gets more accurate than I am.
  Fukaziroh: It's like, read the room.
  Pitohui: I'd love to shoot him in the back at some point during this event.
  Fukaziroh: I'm willing to help
  LLENN: Please stop this! Look, you're going to make him cry!
  • And all while M just Stoicly stands there. If anything, he's probably enjoying it.
• Pito's... rousing pep talk.^note  LLENN's thoughts in response in the brackets.
  So, ah, Team Ell-Pee-Eff-Lem... Argh, it's so hard to say! Team! You ready!? (Yeah!) Don't forget! One for all! And all for me! (Yeah! ... What?) Let's stick together! We may have been born seperately! But I'll die as the last of us! (Yeah...) And since it's been a while, let's enjoy this for the game it is! No outcome is allowed except victory! (Huh?).
• When the alliance of enemy teams converges on the freight car LPFM are hiding in, Pito decides to mess with them.
  Pitohui: *popping her head out* Well, well, well, hello! How is everyone?
  Player #1 Oh, hi.
  Pitohui: I'm doing great! So long! *Ducks back down*
  * Beat*
  Player: It's that damn woman! Fiiiiiiiiiire!
• During SHINC's Curb-Stomp Battle against the allied teams, they happen upon the Livestreamer, and act quite cordial towards him, even offering him to say some last words. In response to said last words, they immediately shoot him dead while sporting noticeable blushes.
  "Before I die! I would be very happy, if just once, I got to touch some boobs!"
  • Said video went on to gain a large number of views.
• Team TOMS suffers a first of many unceremonious ends when they bump into Team ZEMAL and attempt to strike up an alliance with them to get onto the ship. Unfortunately, they make the fatal mistake of being honest about their aversion to Machine Guns due to their speed-based builds, which gets them slaughtered by ZEMAL under the orders of their machine guns. And when Cole sees this and gets ready to go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, he's immediately sniped by SHINC's PTRD.
• After Shinohara takes out TomTom with a stray bullet, ZEMAL feel that they can't be bothered to keep competing since they took out "the strongest enemy". Their solution? They chase and shoot each other with childlike smiles before the last one standing strikes a dramatic pose as the water engulfs him. Needless to say, this leaves the audience in a Stunned Silence.
• When LPFM and SHINC quickly find themselves fighting each other after entering the There Is Still Time, Fuka responds by firing her Grenade Launcher at them... the one that just so happened to contain the very destructive Plasma Grenade rounds. Whoops.
• After M manages to kill Tanya after she tries hanging off his backpack and strangling him to death by crushing her against the ceiling and then kicking her across the room, Fuka asks why he didn't just turn his back to LLENN so she could shoot Tanya dead while his shield, which is in his backpack, prevents the shots from being fatal.
  LLENN: Why didn't you say that earlierrrr?!
• Considering Pito's personality, her fight with David was probably more humorous that the latter would liked.
  • When David confronts Pitohui, the latter decides to kill the mood by accusing him of "going off-script".
  Pitohui: Remember, the next scene is where you rip my clothes off and run away yelling 'Hya-hooo!'
  David: I'm not doing that! The audience will think I'm a pervert!
  • While the audience are watching their confrontation, they express annoyance that they can't hear what they're saying, under the impression they're shooting some badass Pre Asskicking Oneliners. In reality, the both of them are making references to Akutaga's Rashomon, with David calling Pito "Bandit Woman" when we cut back to them.
  • During the fight, David expresses a desire to skewer like she did to him in SJ2, to which she suggest she fillets him to mix things. After she kills him, she's has an Oh, Crap! not because of anything serious, but because she didn't actually fillet him.^note filleting requires one to cut something vertically, but she cut him horizontally
  • David's last words as he's cut into pieces by Pitohui?
  David: You sick, bourgeois bastaaaaaard!!
• After LLENN, with the assistance of Eva, is forced to go against LPFM due to Pito's manipulations, she's able to get the better of Pito and Fuka by confronting the latter alone, knowing that Pito won't ambush LLENN due to wanting a one-on-one but would also kill Fuka if she killed LLENN. This leads to the two Childhood Friends entering a insult fight, with LLENN immediately stealing Fuka's turns.
• The audience's reactions to LLENN kicking away Fuka's plasma grenade is essentially them all muttering "she kicked it...", even David who was otherwise standing stoically in the back.
• The sheer amount of Tempting Fate Fuka Invokes when Eva tries killing her by shooting at her while falling to her death just seems like her begging to get shot in the head... which she does.
  • Also pretty rich coming from the girl who who can't hit someone at point-blank range with a pistol.
• While largely an Awesome moment, LLENN vs Pitohui has some humour to it.
  • When Pito whips out her double Photon Swords, LLENN makes the strategic decision to run like hell away from her, catching Pito off-guard and causing her to rage angrily at the other girl.
  • While fleeing, LLENN jumps up to a railing to reach the stern of the ship, hoping to leave Pito to drown. Enraged by this, Pito exclaims that she's going to kill her, only for LLENN to point that she's been trying to kill her as well.

Test Play (Volume 6)

• The prologue gives us some rather amusing looks into the daily lives of the Squad Jam's usual participants.
  • Crosses over with Heartwarming Moments. In response to hearing Karen's Freudian Slip at the end of the previous Volume, Saki gathered the rest of SHINC at Karen's apartment and ordered the first meeting of the "How Do We Make Karen Kohiruimaki Understand How Strong She Is?" Committee, and the group spitball different ideas while stuffing themselves with sweets, all while Karen awkwardly sits in her bedroom.
    • At one point, Kana calls the purpose of this meeting preposterous. When Saki asks why she thinks that, Kana claims that it would take a while to explain, then when Saki gives the go-ahead...
      Kana: She's already very strong. Explanation over.
      Risa: That was fast!
  • Elza and Goushi are having themselves a workout session to strengthen his abs. And by workout, we mean Elza punching Goushi in the stomach while yelling at him while he just takes it and even asks her to hit lower.
  • Miyu is in the middle of waiting for a date she met at a mixer a few days back, and she refuses to wait for him inside the despite the temperature because she doesn't want him to know she was keeping cool and doesn't want to go through the texting him that she's inside, saying a "A woman's got to have patience" and persists. This proves to be All for Nothing when he arrives and they decide not to date.
    • Later on when informing Karen, who left her Amusphere at home due to keeping her VR gaming hobby a secret from her parents, that she has a spare Amushphere that Karen realizes she bought for the guy she went out with recently. She then proceeds to express sympathy to Miyu over her "missing boyfriend", prompting Miyu to say that no one likes a smartass.
  • We learn that IRL, David works a deliveryman, having just delivered a package and returned to his truck. Thinking he's alone, he proceeds to rant to himself about he's gonna kill Pito in the next Squad Jam... forgetting that his company recently put recorders in their trucks and his boss heard him, which led to him having to explain himself later.
  • Turns out that Shinohara, the Rambo look-a-like from Team ZEMAL, is a Cram School Teacher IRL, and he's shown to actually be good at it and be a bit of a Chick Magnet to boot. Seems all the Machine Gun induced idiocy is saved for GGO.
• Upon discovering the Test Plays unique respawn system^note  Each player has three lives and when they die, they respawn after 180 seconds within a circle surrounding their team on the map. From this, Pito concludes that in the event they lose a member, the team could either A; retreat and regoup with the respawned player, or B; leave that player behind. Fuka gets indignant at this, as she would never leave LLENN behind, with Pito dramatically telling her that they have no choice as if she was already dead. All while she's standing right there.
  LLENN: Stop assuming I'm the one going to die.
  • Becomes Hilarious in Hindsight where, aside from Pito using up one of her lives to take out ZEMAL, LLENN is the only member of LPFM to die even once throughout the event.
• As part of their strategy to take a machine gun backpack-equipped ZEMAL, M gives himself the task of distracting them while Pito and Tanya sneak up from behind. Hilarity Ensues.
  • When M first comes out and asks to talk, the team discuss whether or not to shoot him or hear him out, and one of them suggests [[ shooting him]] then hearing him out.
  • M is able to keep their attention longer by answering their questions of whether or not he likes Machine Guns, answering that he loves them and owns a MG 42^note  a machine gun used by the Germans in WW2 nicknamed "Hitler's Buzzsaw" with it's 1200 rounds per minute fire rate, and is so rare and it's ammo, 7.92 x 57mm Mauser, being so expensive that it's largely considered a collectors item in GGO. Some of them then start an impromptu auction for the gun, before Huey, their leader at the time, sets them straight by suggesting they just hire M. At no point do they ask M his thoughts.
• LPFM's observation of each of the NPC soldier's backstory can net a few laughs.
  • Fuka's response of all of their profiles is "He's a bad guy", something LLENN's quick to Lampshade.
  • When introduced to Rock, Pito flawlessly describes the gun he's using, a GM 6 Lynx, and expresses envy since it hasn't been implemented for player use yet. Then when Fuka accuses her of wanting to kill Rock and steal it, she doesn't even try to deny it.
  • When Cain shows up, [[ Fuka]] immediately declares him her new boyfriend and makes it LPFM's mission to extract him from the castle, with LLENN telling her not to change the story.
    • This becomes a Brick Joke when, after killing Cain upon entering the castle, LLENN tells Fuka that she "killed her new boyfriend."
  • Following Cain, Fuka's quick to proclaim Vodka as "not boyfriend material."
  • Also on Vodka, LLENN recalls that the PKP Pecheneg he uses is one that Rosa, SHINC's sole machine gunner at the time, gushed to her about at one point, describing it as if it was part of a product pitch, mentioning a lot of it's features and improvements over a normal PKM. Karen is honestly a bit concerned about why high schoolers and college girls would need to know so much about a gun.
  • When Hassan shows up, LLENN can't help but notice that he looks rather depressed. Fuka then spins an imaginary story about he's currently going through a divorce after his wife cheated on him, and he's at a risk of losing his Daddy's Girl daughter since said wife has a better lawyer. LLENN notes that it makes him look sadder.
  • Fuka is quick to point out how obvious it is that Doc is the scenario's Big Bad, and tells her teammates not to be fooled by the fact that he looks like a "total virgin". This gets funnier when we learn that she wasn't exactly wrong about the Big Bad thing.
    • Even the narrator nearly slips and calls Doc a virgin before correcting themselves.
• While observing the NPC Team after witnessing MMTM and SHINC suffer from a Curb-Stomp Battle, LPFM witnesses ZEMAL making their own run at it. Only, instead of them going in guns blazing like you'd expect, they instead made a giant sign saying "We are not the enemy! Let us in!". And it works. Well, at least until Pito decides to fire a shot and alert the NPC team out of spite and to prevent the two from joining forces.
  • Then later on when LLENN's delivering a ceasefire message to the other teams, she finds ZEMAL repairing their sign, apparently intent on giving it another go.
• When everyone agrees to the alliance, ZEMAL enthusiastically state that they were saving ammo just for this. LLENN's honestly surprised such a concept exists to them, wondering what their exact definition of it is.
• When M tries to talk Pito into bringing out her Bazooka to use against Hassan's supply of RPG-7s, one of her defences against her taking it out is a flustered "but everyone's watching", making it sound more like she's shy about changing in front of everyone about as opposed to wanting to keep her new BFG a secret, before finally giving in when everyone gives her a hard stare, but not before kicking M in the face.
  • There's also everyone's varying reactions to them seeing the Bazooka.
  David: ... How dare you.
  Eva: My goodness!
  Sophie: Ooh!
  Peter: Aww, it's not a machine gun?
• After everything is said and done, Pito tries to invite everybody to grab a drink at a bar to celebrate, only for everyone to refuse for varying reasons and log out. She even goes as far as to whip her out bazooka to use as a megaphone to call out to Clarence and Shirley to invite, who she somehow knew was there, only for them to decline and log out. Pito settles for four.

Squad Jam 4 (Volumes 7 - 9)

• In true Pitohui fashion, as part of her plan to recruit Clarence and Shirley, she warns pretty much all of GGO where they were setting up camp so players would avoid it like a plague, causing them to wait hours with nothing to do but chat.
  • When cornered, Shirley tells Clarence to shoot Pito, only for Clarence to refuse since Pito would then shoot Shirley. What's set up as a Heartwarming moment gets undermined when, after Shirley expresses confusion at this, Clarence states that Pito would likely kill her after killing Shirley, much to her partner's chagrin.
  • Predictably, Clarence and Pitohui get along swimmingly, with them having a pointless conversation and quickly friending each other. You can just tell that Shirley is thrilled to now have two Ax-Crazy morons to deal with.
• After Pito contacts Miyu telling her she managed to recruit Clarence and Shirley, Miyu starts to praise her as some kind of god, promising to recruit LLENN if it means avoiding a god's wrath and even renaming Pito "God" in her contacts.
• When Elza, the IRL identity of Pitohui, hears the official announcement for SJ4, she's laying naked on her bed with the AC as cold as can be and the light through the curtains illuminating her, which the narrator noting that any of her fans would die of shock at the sight, for obvious reasons. Next thing we know, Goushi, M's IRL identity, comes in wearing a Naked Apron and bringing Elza her morning coffee, for which she rewards him by kicking his bare ass, which the narrator notes would cause her fans to die of shock, though for different reasons.
• ZEMAL gains themselves a new member; a female player wielding a modified RPD Machine Gun after she saved them from getting killed by a monster, and they're so enamored by that combination that they immediately bow to her, make her The Leader and never bother to learn their name.
  • Later on when they arrive to the tournament hub, they're shown carrying her in on a palanquin made of boards as if they were festival workers. As soon as they're in their booth, everyone starts wondering if they went as far as to kidnap someone.
• When Miyu reads about the pistol only-zones, she says "Am I packing heat? Oh, you bet I got a piece on me...". She nearly gets the cops called on her.
• In one of the few where she acts as the Straight Man, Miyu questions Karen on what exactly is her type when questioning her reluctant to marry Fire. Karen's response is "Someone like P-Chan." And when Miyu questions her desire to marry a gun, Karen defensively means that she'd like someone whose "reliable, has high specs, a good design.
  • The natural order is restored soon after when Miyu offers to take Fire off Karen's hands, making it not secret that she's planning to get expensive food and a bunch of gifts out of him. Karen then begins questioning why she was friends with Miyu to begin with.
• Everything about how Fire learned that Karen played GGO and made his own account to track her down in there
  • First off, he calls her by her real name, in full, once he finds her, which is pretty much unheard of in-game. This leaves not just LLENN, but Fuka, Pito and M are shocked. Then even more bafflingly, he proceeds to give his full name as if he was an old school friend jogging her memory, which would work if not for the fact that he looks completely different than as he does IRL, being a tall Bishōnen instead of his IRL short, pudgy appearance.
  • Then, when they see who it is, LLENN is so flustered and caught off-guard that she's unable to form of coherent, causing Pito to experience second-hand embarrassment. When Pito feels embarrassed for you, you know it's bad.
  • Being a newbie to VR in general, Fire ends up examining his surroundings with near childlike wonder.
  • When LLENN insists that Fire call her LLENN instead of Karen, Fire seems to be under the impression that the nature of being in game, he genuinely pities her. LLENN immediately wants to take a fight with him outside.
  • Much to LLENN's joy, Fuka attempt to put Fire in his place... By revealing that she's Karen. LLENN immediately regrets getting her hopes up.
  • When Pito demands that Fire go into detail about him proposing to him, all LLENN can do is cradle her head and wail loudly in embarrassment.
  • In Pito's attempts to defend LLENN, she claims to be her mother, and when Fire asks when that happened, he tells him not to sweat the details
  • When Pito gets the idea to have Fire challenge LLENN for the right to marry her, she dramatically stands up points at him, which he points out as rude. So says the guy who responded to getting rejected by stalking the rejecter, which LLENN mentally points out. Then, Pito lies and states she only acts rude in-game, which we know is a load of bull, to which Fire says he can overlook some rudeness, again blissfully unaware of his own hypocrisy.
  • When Pito asks Fire's opinion on GGO, he admits to finding it terrifying and cites the classic but uninformed Murder Simulators argument, and LLENN mentally admits from experience that she can see where he's coming. Then he feels the need to mention how he plans for forbid Karen from playing GGO when they get married. She once again wants to take this outside and begins seeing him as a Hate Sink.
  • Initially, LLENN assumes that Pito's constant prodding of Fire is to give LLENN a better idea of what he's like to make absolutely sure she doesn't want to marry him. Then when suggests that Fire Best Her to Bed Her, she lets out a Big "WHAT?!" and concludes that Pito just out to make the situation worse.
  • When Pito issues her challenge, she says to Fire that if he can create a team and defeat "Superbabe Pitohui and Her Merry Henchman (summer 2026 edition)", then she can have one or two dates or marriages with LLENN. Not only is this not the team's name, but LLENN demands she not offer two marriages.
• SHINC end up meeting Thane again before the tournament, leading to this exchange:
  Thane: Whoo! It's the chicks who wouldn't let me touch their boobs!
  Anna: Do I need to sue you for harassment?
  Thane: I'm sorry! I won't say that anymore, I promise! So now will you shoot me, please?
  Anna: Do I need to sue you for harassment?
  Thane: Wh- why?
• After the tournament begins and the team takes out ZAT, the others go on ahead while LLENN stays behind to appear on the scan before running to catch up to mislead other teams. After the others leave the forest and find a tractor, Pito wonders if they're forgetting something and suggest they get moving, causing LLENN to get mad when she catches up.
• When Shirley misses DOOM's second biker due to him zig zagging, she and Fuka get into a brief argument over her reluctance to use her One-Hit Kill bullets, compelling Clarence to remind that their ammo is gonna be replenished anyway.
• In Squad Jam 4, it turns out that "DOOM," the apt name for the group of suicide bombers, are actually members of the middle school club, "Domo! Welcome to the Cyberworld!" and "DOOM" is an anagram of "DOMO."
• During the fight against DOOM, a member of the audience reveals he and his squadron got defeated by DOOM in the prelems, explaining how their strategy works. He ends up respecting their ruthlessness and their full awareness that it's a game they're playing and gives him their full support, offering a toast to them... And when they lose, he lets out a loud "Goddammiiiiiiiiiiit".
• When SHINC is pretty much forcibly transported to where Fire's alliance are holding out, Eva notices a member of Team RBG, who they delivered a Curb-Stomp Battle in SJ3, glaring at them, clearly holding a grudge. Eva responds with a cutesy "Hiya! Nice to see you well!"
• Many of ZEMAL's fans are upset at their new cautious approach, and make "The Goddess" out as The Scrappy for "turning ZEMAL into a proper team."
• In response to LLENN's anger at SHINC seemingly joining Fire's alliance and the prospect of marrying the guy, Fuka composes a Haiku
  I wish I could show
  This terrifying visage
  To the dummy Fire.
• We cut back to Shirley and Clarence after their betrayal of LPFM trying to snipe them from a church.
  • When Clarence questions why she didn't snipe LLENN as revenge for SJ2, to which she responds that she doesn't kill out of personal grudges. When Clarence then points out her grudge on Pitohui, Shirley swiftly responds that she doesn't consider Pito a person. Clarence states that she finds it cute that Shirley has an answer for everything, to which Shirley asks if she wants to get shot instead.
  • Shirley outlines their three advantages as them not appearing on the scan due to them not being the "team's" leaders, her ability to snipe without the need for the Bullet Line, and her One-Hit Kill bullets. Then Clarence helpfully chimes in with their fourth advantage; they're both beautiful, which could allow them to get the drop on the male competition by stripping to their underwear. She even bemoans how they can't go further than that.
    • Then when Shirley brings up their disadvantage, Clarence asks if it's that they're too beautiful.
  • When Shirley reaffirms their goal of hunting down Pitohui, Clarence, in a moment of Everyone Has Standards, requests that she doesn't gut and skin Pito when they kill her.
• Like last time, Cole and TOMS get a rather unceremonious end, with everything but Cole having been killed by previous Butt Monkeys T-S and their new Grenade Launchers, and while Cole is fleeing, he thinks he's found a way out alive upon stumbling on a locomotive, hopping on and promising his teammates that he'll avenge them and bring home the win. Unfortunately, said locomotive is the same one MMTM spawned next to and rigged to explode. You just can't help but feel sorry for the guys at this point.
• It's revealed by both Pito and David, albeit the latter in his thoughts, that part of the reason for his beef with Pito is potentially because he used to have a crush on her.
  • While we're scarce on the details of this, Pito's account of this is... most likely biased...
    Pitohui: He actually did this weird pseudoproposal thing. He said, "I don't care if it's just online, would you like to live with me?! I'll even let you call me Daveed!" You wouldn't believe it from the way he looks, but he was so pure hearted!
• Due to Pito's rough driving of the trike threatening to knock her off a few time, LLENN asks Pito if she can warn her or drive more gently. Pito then offers to let her wrap her arms around her waist, but says it'll come with a kiss and a trip to bed. LLENN chooses to just hang on tighter to her seat.
• During the airport fight, Pito is quick to call David a pervert for shooting her in the side of her breasts.
• To confirm that, after the scan, that the guys in the and not just Eva tied up in a sack, LPFM opt to send their drone from the Test Play, now equipped with VR goggles, to scout the area to be safe. Not only are SHINC there in their entirety, but they opt to provide further proof by... putting an impromptu ballet/gymnastics routine. The sheer abruptness of it is hilarious in itself, especially LLENN's response of laughing and casually saying she's going to go kill them now.
• The afterword of Volume 8 has Sigsawa proposing some potentially outlandish twists that might happen in the final volume of the Squad Jam 3 arc, from Fire turning out to be a girl to Karen's young niece telling Fire about Karen playing GGO.

• Upon hearing the sound of the M134 minigun attached to the alliance's humvee, LLENN recalls when Pito once showed her a video of one in use. The video also included Pito begging the owner, Behemoth, to sell it to her. He refused.
• When Fuka first hears the term "minigun" from LLENN, she wonders if it's a small and cute gun.
• When Pitohui establishes communication with LLENN and explains how they survived the minigun fire thanks to M's shield but lost a lot of HP from being pushed against the wall by the force of it, which she states would have broken their ribs in real life, LLENN ponders back to ponders back to the guy who's crotch she slashed back in SJ2 and wonder if he's still playing.
• When M and Eva agree to both carry the PTRD so they can move faster, Pito tells them to just get married like some playground bully.
• When Eva questions how Pito and M how the two escaped the minigun assault, Pito claims she cut them all down with her lightsword.
  Eva: Well, that's incredible.
• In the audience, there's a repeatedly calling Fire's Alliance cheaters, only for another guy to say he just wants to call someone a cheater. He bluntly admits that he just likes saying it.
  • Among his claims of "Cheater" is "Cheatest", which the other points out isn't a word.
• When SHINC learns about the whole Best Her to Bed Her bet LPFM made with Fire, all of SHINC immediately goes Big Sister Instinct mode, saying they'll protect her and lay down their lives to stop her from getting involved in a loveless marriage, apparently forgetting about their rematch completely. Even funnier when you consider that they're the younger ones here.
  • In the case of Eva, it's apparently because she's read a lot of romance manga.
  • The excitement they expressed when being told about this made the audience wonder what the hell they were talking about.
  • LLENN also notices Pito smirking gleefully at this and mentally yells at her.
  • Eva's first idea on protecting LLENN is creating a makeshift box out of M's shield to put LLENN in and carry it around, and then throw it as far as possible when things get tough so LLENN can escape, not accounting for the fact that, as LLENN points out, she'll likely die on impact.
• The fact that there's only two guys (Jake and Kenta) in MMTM compels Pito to say this.
  Pitohui: What if they're making a baby now?
  LLENN: No dirty jokes, Pito!
• When the scan crosses over ZEMAL and shows they're still in the crater, everyone assumes they're building a house made of ammo magazines.
• When Fuka meets up with the , the bicycle she rode over gets a dramatic send-off.
  Fukaziroh: Aww, my sweet ride... Farewell, Pretty Miyu...
  LLENN: (She gave it a name?)
  • She then, upon taking over the drone to take out the enemy drone, names it.
    Fukaziroh: Fly, Charming Miyu!
    LLENN:' (If only she could come up with a better name.)
• Team V2HG, one of the teams Fire entered the tournament with, prove to be Not So Above It All after Car 3's drone gets knocked out of the sky by Fuka flying LPFM's.
  Grenadier: This is Car Three. Drone down, drone down. Over.
  Leader: This is leader. We'll send up ours immediately. What's the cause? Did you get shot down? Over.
  Grenadier: I don't know. It shouldn't have been the battery... but regardless, dorne down. Over.
  Leader: You just want to say that phrase, huh? Over.
  Grenadier: Was it that obvious? Over.
  Leader: Enough with you and your Hollywood movies! We'll send up ours. Remain in position. Over.
• When LLENN, pinned down under the truck, tells the others to go on back, Fuka exclaims that they can't, touching LLENN... only for Fuka to clarify that the battery one the drone is so low that they can't even fly it back.
  LLENN: Are you kidding me?!
• LLENN briefly ponders that, with her pinned down under a truck and her team making it's way west, if she's gonna end up laying down her life for her team like a true leader. She immediately however says "screw that" upon imagining Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" and a priest wearing a tracksuit.
• With LPFM's drone out of battery, M gives Fuka the go ahead to just drop it anywhere after Pito says she'll just buy another one. With that, Fuka decides to drop it on the head of the minigunner she's been harassing until then. He immediately destroys it out of spite.
• When we flash back to how Shirley and Clarence got their mechanical horse to attack V2HG's jeep.
  • We actually get a weird moment where Shirley actually acts very gentle by beckoning the horse out and complimenting so it'll let them ride it. She then warns Clarence, with a Slasher Smile, that it'll probably kick her to death if she stands behind out.
  • While they're riding, Clarence compliments Shirley's riding skills and expresses that she wished she could ride a horse. Then when Shirley offers to teach her, Clarence says no since it'd be too scary. Shirley actually becomes dejected by this.
• In a Call-Back to their earlier conversation in the church, we get Clarence's method of dealing with the V2HG's driver for Car 2; stripping down to her underwear.
  • The driver, who upon hearing her end up on the roof of the Humvee readied his HK433 with expert precision, ends up completely Distracted by the Sexy and taking in every detail of Clarence's nearly nude body, with the narration mentioning that he's got some blood going somewhere. Clarence then offers to let him touch her boobs, getting a Blunt "Yes" in response, and starts guiding his hand to them as the man gets more and more excited, before Clarence unceremoniously shoots him in the head with her Five-Seven handgun. And even then, the man continues reaching for her bra and his last thought is "tits" before dying, his hands just barely touching her bra.
  • After Clarence tosses both corpses out of the Humvee with ease, Shirley compliments her on her surprising physical strength. When Clarence responds by jokingly shrieking and calling her a pervert, Shirley snipes back to stop being cliché.
  • The two of then then discuss how Clarence pulled off her stunt;
  Shirley: I can see exactly how you did it. Not that I can do the same.
  Clarence: Huh? Yes you can. Just hit UNEQUIP ALLL GEAR AND CLOTHING.
  Shirley: It's not an issue of knowing how you did it.
  Clarence: But you got bigger tits than me.
  Shirley: That's not the problem either.
  Clarence: You gotta use every weapon at your disposal.
  Shirley: I think we need to sit down and have an honest talk later.
  • After the horse is shot and they're forced to retreat using the Humvee, Shirley tells Clarence to Please Put Some Clothes On.
• Turns out that despite the multitude of skills Shirley displayed through SJ4, which earned her Clarence's praise each time, she Drives Like Crazy with relatively normal cars and especially with something as big as a Humvee, which Clarence is quick to complain about.
  • When Shirley speculates that the guy Clarence killed must have been a skilled driver to handle the Humvee, Clarence says they probably could have got him to drive for them if Shirley also pulled a Battle Strip.
  • In a surprising role reversal, Shirley's hate for Pitohui gets the better of her and her aggressive handling of the Humvee as a result and she makes a turn without applying the breaks and nearly causing them to crash into a building, causing Clarence to snap at Shirley while the latter apologises almost meekly. But hey, at least she killed one of Wrong Lancer's snipers.
• This quote from the narrator at the start of Chapter 16 in Volume 9.
  Llenn’s grenade blast gust thrust up the bus and busted her buns. Try saying that three times fast.
• LLENN's I Call It "Vera" habits truly go out of control when in her despeartion for an idea, she ends up asking Pla-Chan, one of her Plasma Grenades, for advice when P-Chan and Kni-Chan got nothing.
• After LLENN leaps into a Humvee only to discovers it's being driven by Clarence and Shirley, catching her off guard, and the three of them end up screaming when she accidentally fires a bullet.
• When LLENN explains to Pito that they're having trouble catching up because they're driving carefully, Shirley gets gloomy and self-deprecatingly calls herself a crappy driver who hits other cars, and her point is backed up when she ends up hitting another car while moping to herself.
• The reason why V2HG's Grenadier didn't bring any Plasma Rounds, which would have helped in destroying the locomotive LPFM, SHINC and T-S to escape and kill all three of them?
  Grenadier: I've never seen those in any war movie.
  Machine Gunner: This is why I keep telling you to watch some sci-fi.
  • Becomes funnier when you remember that his team is distinguishable from the other two teams Fire entered the tournament with their sci-fi looking armour.
• After getting shot in the cheek by V2GH's Leader, Clarence asks if he shot her because she didn't let him touch her boobs, confusing LLENN who Shirley quickly tells to forget about it.
• With Clarence injured, Shirley orders LLENN to man the turret... only LLENN can't reach high enough to actually see over it, pissing Shirley off enough to call her a "tiny little freak". Despite her words making it sound like she's offended, Shirley notices and is confused by her sounding happy at the insult.
• When we cut back to the guys on the locomotive, we find Eva re-enacting the "I'm flying Jack" scene from Titanic with the help of a somewhat annoyed Rosa.
  • When Pito calls out to SHINC to get inside the main car in case of an attack, the narration calls Eva and Rosa "Jack and Rose."
• After Clarence's Heroic Sacrifice when she blew herself up to break the ice, LLENN and Shirley go from mourning her sacrifice from panickily trying to escape the now breaking ice, with Shirley angrily if she was trying to kill them too.
• When LLENN's contemplating whether or not to save Shirley when she gets stuck in the Humvee on the ice, she gets a little devil on her should trying to convince her to leave her to die to prevent her from killing Pito and to ensure she survives and not lose the bet to Fire, even threatening to start singing "Here Comes the Bride". Then P-Chan fills the role of the good angel, telling her she doesn't need a reason to save someone and that she needs to help her teammates. And when LLENN's convinced, P-Chan then adds that they could just kill her after the fact anyway, catching LLENN off-guard.
• After LLENN gets Shirley out of the sinking Humvee and she runs back to shore, collapsing in relief, she notices that LLENN's nowhere to be seen, and fears the worst when she looks back at the sinking Humvee... Though it turns out Shirley ended up sitting on LLENN's face when she collapsed upon reaching the shore.
• When M questions if Pito if she's intentionally been suggesting bad strategies to force LLENN to marry Fire, she denies... because she's the one who's going to marry LLENN!
• During ZEMAL's second surprise attack, a bullet ends up hitting Eva in the ass, causing her to Scream Like a Little Girl.
• The team's, particularly Fuka's, interactions with ZEMAL's leader, when she approaches to request their surrender.
  • When Fuka claims to be leader of LPFM, she claims it stands for "Lovely Pretty Fukaziroh the Monstrosity!” LLENN inwardly snarks about the poor choice of an M word, saying she could have picked a more flattering one like "Marvellous" or "Magnificent".
  • When trying to guess which player from ALO ZEMAL's leader is, she gets a bunch of wrong answers while recounting times she knocking someone off the top of a fortress, splitting someone's head in two with her sword, kicking someone into fires under the assumption they were cold and wanted to warm them up, and luring a bunch of monsters towards someone.
  LLENN: (Fuka, how many people have you killed?)
  • Then, when Fuka gets it wrong enough times, the person in question reveals herself as Vivi, a Salamander player Fuka's familiar with. Fuka then recounts all the times Vivi killed her in-game, including crushing her with a giant stone pestle, sliced off her wings in middair, grilled her to a crisp at the mouth of a volcano, shot her in the head with an arrow, and caused her to sink into a bottomless swamp.
  LLENN: (Fuka, how many times have you been killed?)
  • When Pito brings this up as an example of Vivi's skill, Fuka just claims that those only happened because she wasn't paying attention at all those times.
  • When Vivi agrees to Pito's request for her to let them go, LLENN assumes that, since she's someone Fuka knows, she's just gonna say they'll let her go only to kill them anyway.
  Fukaziroh: Got something to add LLENN?
  LLENN: (Damn psychic.)
• When Shirley gets paired up with Fuka for the mall battle, LLENN feels sorry for her on account of her poor aim.
  • Fuka's line when paired with Shirley;
  Fukaziroh: Don't worry, sweetheart. I'll watch your cute ass.
• Upon learning the layout of the mall, the girls make plans.
  Fukaziroh: So where can I go get some cute clothes?
  LLENN: There's no time for that. Although I do need something for the fall season.
  Pitohui: Looks like the northeast quadrant on the third floor has all the fashion stores.
  Eva: Shall we start there, then?
  Shirley: Take this seriously, dammit.
• When LLENN joins in on Fuka's outrage that Fire's group would burn the mall down, Fuka feels compelled to remind LLENN how she caused a cruise ship to sink last time.
• After Fuka comes back to help Shirley deal with Beralto, Shirley questions her on why as they're catching up with the rest to group. When Fuka replies that she ran away because she was going to die, Shirley initially assumes that she just doesn't want to admits she was concerned for her. Until they catch up to the others.
  Shirley: Oh. You were telling the truth.
• Pitohui killing a guy by forcing water down his throat? Terrifying. Her making casual conversation as if he's responding and telling her about his day before singing a German lullaby? Darkly humorous.
• When David manages to kill Pito, she states that if she knew he was gonna get so strong she would have fallen in love with him, which David takes as a small comfort. Then she reveals she was joking.
  David: Oh, you bi-
• Mai, Shirley's IRL identity, isn't too bothered by the fact that she didn't kill Pito in SJ4, glad she got as many kills as she did and cheerfully saying she'll kill her next time. Thankfully, there's no cops around to hear her.
• The entire epilogue following Karen's date with Fire.
  • When giving Karen advice, Miyu states that whenever she goes on a date is go in humming casually, asks whatever she wants and when she feels like, and and bluntly tells the guy they suck if she thinks so. It's at that moment Karen realizes why she can't land a boyfriend.
  • While acting as Date Peepers for Karen's date with Fire, Miyu dons a long blonde wig and flashy glasses while Goushi wore his normal suit with a salt and pepper wig and beard with sports sunglasses that clashed horribly.
    • Turns out the glasses are a camera tool he used during his Stalker with a Crush days, which he's using to watch the conversation and read their lips. When Miyu gets disgusted by this, it leads to this exchange.
    Miyu: I really think you should reconsider your relationships, ma'am.
    Elsa: Perhaps you're right.
    Miyu: I mean, this is crazy. The police could show up right now and arrest him.
    Elsa: Maybe they will
  • When Karen calls Fire by his first name since that's what he used for his username, Miyu and Elsa immediately assume she's jumping to a First-Name Basis, and wonder if she's turning into some kind of seductress.
  • When Karen says she has something she wants to tell Fire, Elsa and Miyu once again assume that he's gonna try confessing first. Then Goushi translates that she's confirming that the members of Fire's squads were his IRL friends and subordinates, they respond with "Whut?"
  • When Karen turns to face Fire, Miyu makes a face resembling The Scream and assume she's going into "Love Acceptance Mode".
  • After Fire asks whether Karen or LLENN is the real Karen and she confirms they're both here, he nervously gets up, bows while yelling an apology, and runs off, leaving Karen and the other three very confused.
  • When Karen sees Elsa, Miyu and Goushi, and realizes they've been watching the whole, she shoots Miyu a dazzling smile and casually threatens to destroy her.
  • Miyu is quick to assume that the reason Fire left so suddenly was because he bought out a flower ship just for her or was planning to suggest they go on vacation, or that his stomach cramped up due to his love for her.
  • Meanwhile, SHINC is communicating with Miyu over text as she watches the date, and start getting nervous when the texts stop, wondering if he tricked Karen into going somewhere "where High School girls should never go", or discovered Miyu and did the same to her.
  • When SHINC arrives at the karaoke joint they were told to go to, they enter to find the bizarre sight of a suspicious short woman wearing a large hat and face mask playing a guitar, a Stoic Bishōnen playing the tambourine, and Karen standing in the centre with mic and breathing heavily.
  • Fire's rejection has left Karen with dead fish eyes and talking lifelessly, making SHINC think they ended up in a horror movie.
  • When Miyu is about to show SHINC Fire's text to Karen, Elsa suddenly riffs on the guitar to scare them.
  • Saki is initially outraged that Fire would reject Karen after she saved his life from the monsters. Then she remembers what exactly she did and starts to see his point.
  • When SHINC recognizes Elza's guitar as a Elza Kanzaki model and express that they're fans, she expresses a good deal of joy in revealing that she's Elza Kanzaki in hopes of creating a Broken Pedestal due to Miyu introducing her as Pitohui.
  • While Karen's singing Independence if her frustration over her rejection, Miyu gives a quick prayer to Karen's dead romance.
  • Elza offers to cheer up Karen by spending the night with her, only to get a hand to the face pushing her back in response.

Five Ordeals (Volume 10)

• When Elsa starts "answering" SHINC's questions about herself, she starts off rather wildly with claims that she ame from a family of wood-obsessed tree cutters, who were descended from charcoals from back in the Edo period. The sheer contrast between that and the truth, that they were a classical musician duo, is rather rather humorous.
• After answering their questions, Elsa takes the time to thank SHINC for supporting her music.. because it allowed her buy a new Sniper Rifle in GGO.
• When Karen dispassionately agrees to do a quest with LPFM and SHINC, the narrator seems to delight in rubbing in how she doesn't have anything planned for that day, such as date, or a date, or maybe even a date.

• When the both of them log in for the quest, Fuka congratulates LLENN for her one-week anniversary of getting dumped.
• While LLENN is thinking about how nice it is to finally do something that require her to shoot at other people, Shirley is contemplating if she should try and take Pito out during the quest.
• Upn their arrival, all of SHINC acts very formally towards Pito due to their newfound knowledge of her true identity, which actually makes her a bit awkward. LLENN's very delighted by this.
• Of all the people in the group to suffer a case of Cuteness Proximity due to the presence of a talking dog, it's Shirley, who lets out an uncharacteristic "It's so cyute" before hastily composing herself.
• When Fuka, obviously, is the next to start gushing over the talking dog by squishing it's cheeks while it's trying to talk to them, LLENN is quick to ask how they are supposed to tell what's he saying. Fuka responds with "schipperke", the dog's breed. When this annoys LLENN, Shirley doesn't help matters by providing some trivia on them, prompting LLENN to snap that she didn't ask for any.
• After a rather emotional moment where Fuka insists on naming dog in honour of her first, with LLENN recounting the life and death of the original Fukaziroh, Pito utterly ruins the moment by abruptly naming it "Suuzaburou", much to the chagrin of the two shrimps.
• The first ever bit of damage the group suffers in the whole quest? Clarence hitting her head on the dash board, losing her 5% HP, due to Shirley's driving. This leads to Tohma immediately taking over for her.
  • When Tohma takes over with her more proper driving, Shirley yells at her to run over more of the monsters, which the younger girl promptly ignores.
• When discussing how to deal with the targets in second in the Second Ordeal, Clarence suggests two ideas to search for them, then to try flanking them. Both are shot down by Shirley, who explains why they logically can't work.
  Clarence: Grr... Stop picking on me, Shirley!
  Shirley: I'm just telling the truth.
• When explaining her plan to just sit and wait for the enemies to show up, she illustrates her point that singing a verse from "Waiting in Vain", prompting thunderous, tearful applause from SHINC. Clarence and Shirley, who are Locked Out of the Loop in regards to Pito's identity, are simply confused by their reaction.
• After Shirley takes out the first enemy in the Second Ordeal, Pitohui is quick to compliment her sniping, to which Shirley responds with annoyed silence. The narrator notes that it's simply Shirley's nature to be pissed when Pito compliments her.
• While everyone else is shooting at the robot soldiers, Fuka just sitting on her ass asking Suuzaburou what kind of dog food he prefers, with her admitting to trying a lamb flavoured one once.
• To test her theory as to why the robot soldiers aren't dying, Pito asks Clarence to go examine one she just blasted, threatening to shoot her "cute little ass" when she initially refuses, aiming her gun's Bullet Line at her rear for emphasis.
  • This is then followed by the robot being revealed to be alive, with it and Clarence shooting each other. Shortly after, knowing her theory is correct, Pito tells M to chuck a Plasma Grenade at Clarence's location.
  Clarence: Huh? H-hold on, stop!
  • She also gets shot in the ass later anyway.
• When Pito discovers the Johnny Seven OMA, she's so pleasantly surprised to find it acutally be in GGO that she wants to take one for herself, ignoring LLENN's reminder that they need to destroy to progress the quest.
• When Pito explains her plan to take advantage of LLENN's temporary immortality to have Fuka shoot her with a grenade in order to catch the enemy, or more specifically their toy guns, in the blast, LLENN's very reluctant due to how much it will hurt. Pito then proceeds to guilt trip LLENN into agreeing by talking about how sad it is that they'll have to resign from the quest when they're so close to victory in a clearly exaggerated tone. Naturally, LLENN falls for it.
• Upon being told of the Third Ordeal, Fuka pokes fun at their objective, a door at the top of the tallest building that'll take them to the next Ordeal, by putting on a Doraemon impression and calling "The Anywhere Door". No one laughs, but not because it's not funny. Her impression was just so spot-on that no one could bring themselves to laugh.
• Wanting to continue being the hero of the group after her role in completing the previous ordeal, LLENN immediately rushes to climb the building, banking that her speed would let her avoid the enemies and reach the top without issue. Her plans are immediately hindered when it turns the snow around them is knee-deep, or neck deep in her case, causing her to sink into the ground and curse her shortness for the first time.
• When LLENN suggests traversing through the snow using the office whiteboards as sleds, Clarence questions what they're gonna use to power them. No one dignifies Fuka's suggestion of "farts" with a response.
• While explaining how each of the Ordeals so far have been based on some of the author's books, LLENN responds to each one("Our Crossroads Strategy: Clean Up the Petting Horde", "The Ultimate Agony! Aaahhh!", and "Death Motive: A War That Tests Your Mettle". Everytime she hears one of them, LLENN proclaims the author as a Giver of Lame Names.
  • When mentioning the book the Second Ordeal was based on, Pito mentions how the Johnny Sevens weren't actually in the book but that in the afterword the author mentioned that he won one in an online auction, but couldn't get it because they couldn't ship to Japan.
  • When we later that the title for the book the Fourth Ordeal is based on is "Lord of the Wheels", with M of all people snarking that it sounds ripe of a lawsuit.
• When LLENN's contemplating how to beat the dragon, Fuka jumps in with some words of encouragement, saying that she'll back her friend up. LLENN then curses herself for feeling touched when Fuka follows up by telling to act as bait so everyone else can shoot it to death while the dragons crushing her like a bug.
• When Fuka pulls up next Pito's buggy in her own, LLENN asks if she can hop on. Fuka refuses claiming to be "on a date", that being Suuzaburou sitting on the passenger seat.
• When discussing what book the Fourth Ordeal could . It's at that moment that they realize that the Novelist is using them as Unwitting Pawns to find a way to kill the dragon for him to put in his book.
• After the two Mechan-Dragons combine into a giant crab-like creature, Clarence complains about having to call it a Mecha Crab since it's harder to say.
• When Pito and Vivi start talking, Pito takes the chance to congratulate ZEMAL on their victory in SJ4, surprising LLENN with her good sportsmanship. Then Pito boasts about their victory in the mall battle and says that they better be grateful for doing most of the work for them.
  LLENN: Ah, classic Pito. I take it back.
• When Shirley and Clarence roll up behind the LPFM buggy with rifle in hand, LLENN hopes that ZEMAL don't assume she's getting ready to kill them, since she'd then have to explain their unique team situation of Shirley being there to kill Pito.
• When Vivi delivers a message to Pito from David, Pito says to respond with "Eek, you're so cool! Open parenthesis, heart emoji, close parenthesis. Good luck! Daveeeeed!". Vivi's grimace is the only thing suggest how much it pissed him off.
• Pito, being the darling she is, greets David when they come face-to-face by mentioning how she re-watched the footage of their Mutual Kill in SJ4 and boasts about how she died about 0.5 seconds after he did, meaning that she was technically the winner. David is simply silent, too annoyed to respond.
• When LLENN, having just defeated her own Mirror Boss, and asks Shirley, who beat hers first, how she won, LLENN immediately regrets when explaining requires Shirley to explain how thigh muscles can constrict when stabbed, and regrets it more when Shirley states how she strangled her double to death.
• When Pito, she's in nothing but a sports bra and boxer shorts, much to everyone's shock (and prompting Fuka to exclaim how sexy she is). When LLENN asks why she's dressed like that, Pito explains that she decided to have a fist-fight with her dopplegander, and so opted to go Full-Frontal Assault against her. She then reveals that the reason she was late was that she managed to pin her double down, and decided to hogtie her and torture her before she realized that she was almost out of time.
• When the group debates and eventually splits into two sides to fight it over whether to kill or spare Suuzaburou, the dog in question is extremely confused and flustured for the first time throughout the time, saying how this isn't supposed to happen.
• After Pito kills Shirley and escapes up the chimney, Fuka calls her an "Evil, evil, evil Santa".
  LLENN: Evil Santa? Like... Satan? Hmmm, maybe not.
• When LLENN opts to use her Vor-Chans against Pito and leaves P-Chan on the floor, the P90 is less than happy.
  P-Chan: Whaaaat? You're leaving me behiiind?!
• After LLENN briefly commandeers Pito's KTR-09, she nicknames it "K-Chan" and hears a mature female voice from it.
• When Pito reveals that she knew that Suuzaburou's request to kill him was a Secret Test of Character and that the right answer was to not kill him, meaning that she acted like she wanted to kill him in order to cause a big fight, LLENN's... less than pleased.
  LLENN: Bitch, did you do this just to fight us?

Squad Jam 5 (Volumes 11 - 13)

• LLENN ends up being the first of the team to arrive to the SJ5 strategy meeting, meaning it's just her and Pito.
  • When greeting LLENN, Pito she attempts to abbreviate "good evening" by saying "geev". LLENN wonders if she actually meant it as a greeting and not just Pito deciding to make a silly sound at the sight of her.
  • LLENN then proceeds to No-Sell Pito attempting to prank her into thinking it's actually M borrowing her avatar by just ignoring her and ordering an iced tea.
  • Pito is able to worm her way under LLENN's skin at the last moment, dramatically stating that everyone gathered should know the reason they're there, prompting LLENN to snap that it's just them.
• For the sake of the meeting, Pito somehow got her hands on a bulb horn, which he uses twice before placing it down, with LLENN assuming she got bored of it... until she suddenly picks it up and uses it when again when LLENN raises her hand to ask about her stance on the Alternative Equipment rule.
• When LLENN mentions that the only thing to keep her busy is studying for her college tests, Fuka "reminds her" of her cover as a housewife with three triplets. Clarence chips in by asking if the hypothetical triplets are cute, prompting Shirley to once again question her partner's intelligence.
  • LLENN also gets rather chagrined when Pito claims to have axed something important from her and M's calendar for the Squad Jam, mentally scolding her to take her music career seriously.
• When M is discussing how the group's strategies and weapons have become common knowledge, he uses the classic analogy that they're basically naked due to how the live footage how displayed their performance for all enemy teams and potential competitors. Clarence responds with some Literalist Snarking by expressing that she wishes that you could actually go au naturale, claiming she wants to feel the breeze on her nips. Shirley promptly tells her to shut up while M easily ignores them.
• Fuka suffers a minor Humiliation Conga when she throws a minor tantrum about wanting to take part in the Alternative Gear rule, which includes M seemingly trying to find a gentle way to tell her that her aim sucks, which even she acknowledges before getting angry when M simply agrees, and LLENN giving her a Hope Spot by starting her sentence with "Pito, M, please, you have to" before finishing with "convince her to give up" just as Fuka gets excited. Fortunately, M is able to rack his brain and think of something, which she seems pretty happy with.
  • When LLENN questions if M's idea is a good one, Fuka responds by claiming if there's no other options, the only one is the best one, going on to say that LLENN will understand after she gets through a few relationships. LLENN, still salty about the events of post-SJ4, quickly gets pissed and tells her to shut it. When Clarence tries to probe further by asking if she's a virgin IRL, LLENN silently gives Shirley permission to shut Clarence up even if she has to kill her.
• After the meeting concludes, LLENN can't help but gripe about how all of her Squad Jams all had some factor that added some undue stress and hindered her enjoyment of them, with her being quick to snap at Pito, who's responsible for three out of four of those instances, when she tries comforting her. Eventually, she does accept the reassurance that this Squad Jam will be normal and resolves to enjoy it... right as the message announcing her 100,000,000 Credit bounty arrives
  • For added hilarity, the news of the bounty doesn't seem register to LLENN for a moment, who proceeds to make a sound of acknowledgment and take another sip of her tea after Fuka tells her the contents of the message. She then promptly does a Spit Take in shock once it does register.
• Everyone's favourite Red Shirt live streamer Thane returns, and decides to go full-reporter before the tournament starts with mixed results.
  • Thane's first attempt at playing reporter has him approach MMTM as they come in and say hello, ready to ask some questions. He's quick to end the "interview" there and walk away from them after David fixes him with a Death Glare, causing the spectators to jeer at him.
  • After starting an interview with SHINC and avoiding a sexual harassment allegation, Thane asks for hints on what their choice of Alternative Equipment is. Eva responds by claiming that hers is a sexy bikini that'll blow everyone's mind. Thane responds by putting on a somber look and saying they've been left with more questions than answers before signing off, much to Eva's chagrin.
  • When Thane approaches LPFM to interview them on LLENN's location and M's decision to come in carrying his supposedly secret weapon, he says "Hello, everybody! How's it going?!" in Gratuitous English. When Fuka questions why, Thane states it's because he can't speak French. Fuka is quick to accept this.
• When in the prep room, Fukaziroh questions if the rest of the team would eligible to get LLENN's bounty if they just so happened to "accidentally" shoot, punch, stab or kill her from behind, causing the girl in question to let out a Big "WHAT?!". Then, when LLENN nervously questions if they really want the money that much, they shamelessly admit that they do. Even M.
• How does the Flashback where Karen questions Miyu on who exactly Vivi is, which has the latter hype up her rival for her reputation among the VR community and her abilities as The Strategist that lead any party to victim with her ability to put each member's individual strengths and abilities to full use? Miyu abruptly leaving to go to the bathroom due to eating three tubs of ice cream.
• 006 of T-S' methods to drawing attention to himself for his temp groups bait strategy starts with various loud insults and profanities aimed towards the author. He eventually runs out of material, and starts complaining about the suburb houses and how jealous he is of the owners, and then the road being out prompting him to go right because he's right-handed.
• After Shinohara is abruptly killed when his temporary partner shoots him In the Back with their Grenade Launcher, Eva and David are quick to express chagrin at the assailants clear lack of honour while Vivi is silent in what is presumably a Tranquil Fury. LLENN silently agrees with the former two on the mystery player's callousness... until she remembers that she happens to known a certain player well-known for her use of Dual Grenade Launchers and would absolutely be ruthless enough to shoot a temporary ally in the back. Enter Fuka as LLENN desperately begs for it not to be her.
• LLENN's first priority after escaping the exploding building and ending her alliance with Vivi is to angrily shout at Fuka, while they're still a distance from each other, leading to this exchange.^note  note that the words might be slightly condensed
  LLENN: Fukaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
  Fuka: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? Is that you Lleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen?
  LLENN:Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
  Fuka: You're not a ghoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooost?
  LLENN: I almost was because of youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
  Fuka: Oh maaaaan! I could have been riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiich!
  LLENN: Screw youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
• Clarence's time proves to be decidedly less action-packed, but no less entertaining.
  • Clarence happens to stumble another player, who doesn't notice her due to hiding behind a rock. After debating between killing them, letting them go, allying with them, or allying with them only to stab them in back, she decides to Troll him instead by throwing a rock at his location and (accidentally) hitting him, and continues doing so to rile him up, causing him to Scream Like a Little Girl.
  • After considering the idea of stripping before approaching, only shrugging it off since he'd probably enjoy it, Clarence gets out the horn Pito used during the group's strategy meeting and starts honking it repeatedly, causing the man to start firing in a panic.
  • Clarence's fun abruptly ends when someone abruptly kills her poor victim, prompting her to prepare for a fight. However, she recognises the assailent as Tanya and tries to say hi... only for a startled Tanya to accidentally her through her cheeks.
  • After the two retreat from a member of ZEMAL, they come across a mysterious building obscured by the fog with a message written on them, informing them of the tournaments last rule. Clarence's response?
  Clarence: Why is it in the generic Mincho font?
  Tanya: Really? That's your question?

  • Becomes a Brick Joke when the rules are displayed to audience, and one of them questions the choice in font.
• When M and Anna meet up, Anna complains how SHINC's idea to make her the team leader to serve as bait served to backfire, as it meant every player in the tournanment will gun for her the moment they see her on the map. She likens the situation to being stalked... to M, who himself was a Stalker with a Crush to Pito IRL. He remarks how such a thing would be a disaster.
  (Imaginary)LLENN, Pito and Fuka: Really? Coming from you?
• M of all people gets a moment of being Not So Above It All when he and Anna, while escaping the city he spawned in using a Baja Bug car, end up getting chased by a Ford Mustang, which he comes the closest he's ever had to Fanboying over something, even expressing a desire to drive while Anna begs him to focus.
• During the chase, the two end up getting shot at, which Anna points out, to which M asks if she's been shot. Due to hectic nature of the chase, the narrator feels compelled to translate the exchange as such for clarity.
  Anna: I can confirm by observation that this car is being shot at by a gun, M.
  M: That is true, Anna. By the way, I am just fine. Did you happen to be struck by any of those bullets? I'm very worried about your safety.
  Anna: Your kind concern is most appreciated. Fortunately, I am not aware of any such damage.
• When the two end up capsized by one of DOOM's suicide bombings and their car is rolling down a hill, M is able to calm down Anna and stop her from screaming by mentioning details on Elza Kanzaki's next song.
• When the arena starts collapsing and the audience bear witness to rushing players either falling to their deaths or getting shot by people already at the castle, one audience members bemoans that he wishes he was there. Another player sympathizes, assuming he means he wants to be shooting the players rushing to the castle, when in actuality the guy is a "falling enthusiast" who's jealous of all the participants falling to their deaths, claiming that other VR games he's played don't allow for such heights. No one talks to him after that.
• Fuka's hilariously callous comment after the group watch a player fall victim to the collapsing ground after the effort he made to reach the castle
  Fukaziroh: Poor guy, if only he'd gotten closer... I could have hit him with a grenade instead...
• When Sophie and Rosa are dragging two players to throw out of the castle to their deaths, one of them tries flustering them by pointing out how their breasts are pressing against them. The two amazons shrug it off however, and the two players bemoan that can't enjoy the feeling before they're tossed to their deaths.
• While viewing the audience, some of them notice David and Vivi's alliance and the good teamwork they're displaying, prompting one of them to question if they're dating. This prompts another player to scold them for assuming that any man and woman who are seen together must be dating.
  First Player: I assume the same thing when it's a man and a man? Does that make it better?
  Other Player: No.
• LLENN and Fuka reach the centre of the castle, but the drop down from wall is too high for them to walk away undamaged. Their solution? Jump down and two players heckling and taunting them from bottom, cushioning their fall before killing them.
• What motivates LLENN to keep fighting despite the team's hopeless odds, cornered by MMTM and SHINC, after she's finally resigned herself to her inevitable loss despite all she's done survive otherwise? Fuka asking if she can kill her to claim the bounty
  LLENN: Screw you!
• Despite being the same tournament where she finally elimianted Pitohui, Shirley's time in SJ5 comes to an unceriminious end when SHINC's failed counter-attack leads to them accidentally dropping their grenades on her.
  Shirley: Oh, come on, this is the punchline?
• The coolness and nobility of Fuka's driving her and Vivi off a ledge to take her out gets undermined when she contacts LLENN during freefall to demand to know why she got off, revealing that she intended to take her down with her too in hopes of claiming the bounty.
• LLENN remains consistent with her naming standards by referring to the Photon Sword she used throughout the tournament as "Pho-Chan".
