Line 54:
* [[Recap Episode]] 10.5 revealed that Nonna keeps a "Katyusha diary." In spinoff manga ''Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu!'', Katyusha believes this is a list of things she's done that Nonna might feel a grudge about; one of them, she imagines, is [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|"Cheeky despite being small."]] Thinking that (accidentally) [[Eye Scream|poking Nonna in both eyes]] pushed it entirely too far<ref>Although she rated it as only '''half''' as many grudge points as her cheekiness</ref>, Katyusha goes into the [[Pose of Supplication]], [http://www.mangahere.co/manga/girls_panzer_motto_love_love_sakusen_desu/c002/13.html waving a little white flag], and ready to offer money and what might be a favorite model tank with her apology. (It's hinted the diary actually describes things Nonna finds especially '''cute''' about Katyusha.)
* After cleaning the Swimming Club's spare pool, the tankery team will have a [[Pool Episode|pool party]]. Well, it turns out to be after Sodoko of the Morals Committee gets fed up with the others' silly horseplay and summons over 100 Morals Committee members [[Inexplicably Identical Individuals|who all look as if they're her relatives]] to do all the cleaning themselves. "[[All According to Plan|Just As Planned]]," the Student Council president chuckles; even Momo is grinning.
* Alisa comes to spy on Oarai. Her [[Paper-Thin Disguise]] consists of dark glasses with an attached bulbous nose that doesn't even remotely match the color of her skin. Oh, and falsies to upgrade her bust size. "I'm just an American who loves Panzerkraft~!" The Automotive Club recognize that she's a suspicious character ('''everybody''' who notices her recognizes that) and bring her to the rest of the tankery team, where she realizes she's infiltrated ... the pool party. And then she finds that Kay and Naomi were '''invited'''!
* Darjeeling reads a novel about [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|"earnest love" at an all-girls school]] and it [[Luminescent Blush|gives her ideas]] ... such as inviting Orange Pekoe to call her "[[Onee-Sama]]." Then Darjeeling and Assam get into a [[Tug Lover War]] over the smaller girl. Though petite, Orange Pekoe '''is''', as a narrative note points out, the tank gun's loader, and she's thus strong enough to [[Put Their Heads Together]].
Line 67:
** Alas, Maho's skills don't include cutting cake, as she slices the cake Miho sent into irregularly curved segments of odd sizes.
** Maho shows off her "hidden talent" of imitation. Swiftly doing her hair up in Darjeeling's braid, she raises a teacup and asks, "Do you know this saying?" Erika recognizes the line that follows as a quote from Heinz Guderian,<ref>Maho quoted it in Episode 10.</ref> one of the architects of Germany's (and thus Kuromorimine's, and indeed much of our modern world's) tank doctrine, but doesn't recognize that just now Maho is imitating '''Darjeeling''' saying it. In any case, quoting the Sun Tzu of tankery does not reassure her commanders....
** After the commanders realize that Maho really just wants to spend Christmas with them, it's time for presents<ref>Sent by Oarai; there's a hint that most were picked out by Student Council President Anzu Kadotani</ref>! The Maus commander is ... displeased ... to find the gift she receives is a model of the Type 89 which climbed onto her tank; likewise, [[Fan Nickname|Jagdpanther-chan]] isn't happy to get a Hetzer model (during their match, her tank was dogged by the Oarai Student Council's Hetzer, which broke her tracks '''twice'''). A Panther commander who panicked when Turtle Team slipped into the formation gets another Hetzer, and declares it's "all kinds of strange" for there to be two Hetzers among the presents. And Erika is given an Anglerfish dance costume. (Maho thinks their barely-contained tears are from joy.) '''She''' gets some kind of plushie jellyfish or tentacle monster<ref name="Araippe">An article from Asahi Shimbun says this is “Araippe,” created in 2013 to be a mascot for the Oarai area in the hope of improving tourism after the Fukushima nuclear reactor disaster. “Araippe” is portrayed as made up of local seafood specialties. His "tentacles" are actually whitebait (immature fish) and his mouth is a clam. His tail is a clam rake.</ref>, which she declares is cute.
*** Oddly, the scene of presents being handed out seems to indicate they're given at random (passing them around a circle while singing a song, keep the one you're holding when the song stops), and yet as noted above they tend to be appropriate to the girls who receive them.
** Finally, Maho takes a picture of the "party" to send to Miho. She has [[The Comically Serious|her usual serious face]], Erika is wearing the Anglerfish costume and scowling, Koume Akaboshi (the girl who thanked Miho for saving her life last year, and the only one other than Maho who '''likes''' her gift<ref>A model of a Panzer IV which she noted is like Miho's</ref>) is smiling nervously, and the other commanders have [[Hidden Eyes]].
{{quote|"Thanks really happy please wait expectingly for return gift."}}
** Meanwhile, at St. Gloriana:
* Anzu, using the alias "The Masked Hetzer," continues to taunt the Kuromorimine commanders with gifts reminding them of the battle. For Valentine's Day, she sends chocolate tanks, which they eat angrily.
* While Oarai and Kuromorimine girls are afoot in an unfamiliar town, they bump into each other. Specifically, the Maus commander bumps into Duck Team. "Meeting us here is your doom, light tank!" Meanwhile, her friends Jagdpanther-chan and the Panther commander demand, with teary eyes, that the Hetzer crew come out to face them. Turtle Team are sneaking away '''behind''' them.
* Katyusha dozes off while sharing a bath with Nonna. [http://www.mangahere.co/manga/girls_panzer_motto_love_love_sakusen_desu/c023/10.html A handful of snow between the shoulder blades wakes her up].
* "It Came From the Sea," "it" being a [[Kaiju]] version of Araippe<ref
* Narrative text declares "The disgusting thing came out" in Rabbit Team's M3. "<big>'''''G!'''''</big> It's a G!!" (Short for "gokiburi," Japanese for [[Creepy Cockroach|cockroach]].) Not only is it almost never called anything but "G," but the roach is always '''drawn''' as a capital letter "G" which probably escaped from ''[[Sesame Street]]''.
* During a party (in kimono), Oarai members tell [[Ghost Story|spooky stories]]. Hippo and Duck Teams, though, reveal a bit of [[Comically Missing the Point]] with their tales of [[Cryptid Episode|encountering odd creatures]]: Hippo '''ignored''' the cryptid they found because they were seeking a different type instead, and Duck mistook [[Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti|Bigfoot]] for [http://www.mangahere.co/manga/girls_panzer_motto_love_love_sakusen_desu/c029/13.html a mundane creepy stranger]. Also, Miho tells how [[Girls und Panzer/Awesome|her big sister '''shot down''' a UFO]].
