  • When Takahashi faints, Nendou panics and tries to help, making Kusuo admit that he isn't a bad guy at all. Then Nendou pins Takahashi down and begins to punch him, causing Kusuo to wonder if he really isn't a bad guy. Lastly, Nendou does mouth-to-mouth respiration, making Kusuo decide that he's just awful and cruel.
  • On the infirmary Takahashi stands up, reveals that he was just faking it and then begins to puke because the mouth-to-mouth respiration.
  • Nendou asks Takahashi if he did a bad job with the CPR. Takahashi screams out "Of course!", disgusted by kissing a guy. Nendou's answer? "Since it was my first kiss, could you go easy on me?", causing Takahashi to puke again.

• Chapter 6: The epic dodgeball game.
  • The game has barely begun and Hairo's already sweating and gasping.
  • Hairo "sacrifices" himself to keep Kusuo in the game, tripping and skinning his knee. Hairo coughs up blood and declares that this is it for him. Then he thrusts the ball to Kusuo, saying it carries the spirit of everyone's blood, sweat and tears. Cue Manly Tears from the rest of the team. Kusuo acts completely nonchalant about all this.
  • Hairo also ends up with his butt hanging out of his shorts when he lands. Nobody seems to notice this.

  • Muscles Are Meaningless

  • And more!
  • ...except Everyone Is a Super, because the world would probably come to an end.
• Chapter 13: Suddenly, Nendou does a 180° head flip.
• Chapter 73: Announcing the results of the first popularity contest doesn't seem like it should particularly funny, but then Saiki wakes up to find out everyone has become as popular as their rank in the contest.
  • He wakes and notices a badge saying Popularity Poll, 1st place Saiki Kusuo. He checks outside and discovers. there is a massive crowd outside his room. His mom enters (9th place) and tells him breakfast is ready and Saiki notices his dad (14th place) cooking, and his mom starting without him. With dessert coming up next, his dad says he has no right to have coffee jelly, because he is ranked 10th place.
  • On the way to school he notices Teruhashi's brother (18th place) and Chouno Uryoku (8th place) have become a third-rate actor and a superstar, respectively. After being found again he turns invisible and heads to school.
  • After arriving at school, he notices Hairo (13th place), Yumehara (12th place) and Teruhashi (6th place) haven't changed much, he thinks that things haven't changed much only to come across Kaidou (2nd place), who now is a leader of "Ocean Wisteria" a group of followers dedicated to destroying Dark Reunion. He then comes across Nendou (3rd place) who is signing fangirls' autographs. After wondering who was fourth, he finds out it was Toritsuka, who is surrounded by a legion of fangirls, who can see Saiki, and causes him to turn visible. Kaidou and Nendou appear, and the four are surrounded by fans.
  • Saiki later appears in the girls' bathroom, having shifted into his female form, only to realize his female form is 7th place. A male Saiki, who tells the original Saiki (who tells the new one to change his textboxes) that now that the original shifted genders, he could reappear, and tells Saiki that he was in a world where he didn't save the dog in Chapter 1, which spurred his path to start helping people, which ended up changing the world accordingly. Saiki ends up travelling to his original world, feeling glad he saved the dog.
• After Saiki's dad throws out his back, he tries to convince him to take his place as Santa delivering gifts to the neighborhood children, only for Saiki to ignore his pleas. However his mom resolving to not let the kids down (while wearing a Sexy Santa Dress) is enough to make Saiki do it, rather than let his mom go out like that.
• After failure to book a hotel for their trip, the gang engages in a Blame Game of delegation until Hairo passed the buck to Nendou. However, instead of blaming Nendou, everyone shouts at Hairo instead, asking him what he was thinking. Saiki is unsure of whether they are blaming the right person or not.
• After being stuck drawing Teruhashi for art class, Saiki used his powers to composite a portrait of her from several other pictures other students had drawn... which led to her head being stuck on Burter's body because Aren had drawn Burter earlier in the episode.
• The school song lyrics that everyone sings at the graduation ceremony in season 2 episode 3, contain lyrics like "Our everlasting school" and "Our everlasting youth" are funny in hindsight as they foreshadow the ending of the series.
