  • Much of the shipping (now with actual ships):
    • Takao reads a children's book about ships like it's a trashy romance.

Takao: *reading* "The captain knows everything about his ship, in order to make his ship do exactly what he wants." To do exactly...what he wants...

    • Takao getting beaned on the head by a missile from Hyuuga.
    • Hyuuga's obsession with Iona.

  • From the Beach Episode:
    • Takao wants a piece of meat that Hyuuga is saving for Iona. Battleship Hyuuga Vs Heavy Cruiser Takao! Swordfighting with tongs and chopsticks ensues.

Hyuuga: Cow meat!
Maya: Oh, so the corpse of an animal.

    • Kirishima trying to wade her teddy-bear body into the water but avoid getting soaked by waves, complete with squeaking sound effects. (She gets soaked.)
    • Makie teasing Haruna by taking away her jacket (which leaves her shivering and weak on the ground, while a weepy violin plays) and putting it back (which she teleports into, saying "Shazam"). Then Maya joins the fun...
