• The Student Council comes to "ask" Miho to join tankery at Oarai. Momo and Yuzu take up positions at the front of the classroom, and then Anzu stands between them. The two on the sides are seen from just below the bust on up. Anzu (142 cm) is seen from the eyebrows up, until the view pans down to show the rest of her face — which means now 164-cm Momo's eyes are out of the picture.
• The 75mm alarm clock and how necessary it really was.
• Anglerfish Team (plus the student council, at President Anzu's insistence) doing the Anko Dance:

Miho dancing with wide, dazed "swirly" eyes, blush, mouth hanging open. Saori: I can't get married now! Yukari: Well, we can't do anything about it now! Hana: If you think of it as embarrassing, it'll just make it more embarrassing! Cut to Anzu dancing with a grin.

• Saori's romantic "exploit". When Team Anglerfish happens to cross paths with Hana's mother and Shinzaburo, she starts narrating out loud:

Saori: Oh! Our eyes magically met! *Shinzaburo turns, and smiles.* Wait -- he can't -- ?! Hana: Shinzaburo? Saori: You know him?! *Shinzaburo brings the rickshaw over.* N-nice to meet you, I'm Hana's -- *Shinzaburo walks past.* -- friend -- uh...

• • And then, in episode 10:

Saori: I have a very important announcement to make! This whole time -- Yukari: You're engaged?! Hana: Even though you don't have a boyfriend? Saori: THAT'S NOT IT! [She's actually gotten her amateur level 2 radio license.]

• Episode 6: Oryou, the StuG III driver, composes poetry while Saunders chases them (and her vehicle can't shoot back):

Oryou: A tank filled with holes. For that is what we shall be. Boom we go, goodbye. Caesar: This isn't time to say a parting Haiku!

• Miho's reaction to Graceful Loser/Friendly Rival Kay Glomping her: Blank White Eyes, some of her hair standing on end, Sweat Drops....
  • Meanwhile, Yukari and Saori are also shocked, Mako has her usual half-asleep look (or maybe it's Dull Surprise), and Hana is smiling and blushing.
• The Jagdpanther commander flailing her arms when the Hetzer shoots and breaks her track for the second time in less than an hour.

We just fixed that! Hey! Our track is really heavy!

• • One of her Fan Nicknames is "Ritaiko," "Track girl."
• The response of Duck Team when the Maus commander angrily ordered them to get their "light tank" off her huge tank:

Noriko Isobe: Don't wanna. Besides, the Type 89 isn't a light tank. Akebi Sasaki: It's a medium tank.

• In OVA 1, "Water War", Yukari gives her (very accurate) estimate of Miho's bust, waist, and hip measurements. At each number, Miho, greatly embarrassed, moves her hands to cover the area cited, even though she's still fully clothed.
• In Der Film, Miho visits her old bedroom at the Nishizumi Big Fancy House. Everything has been left unchanged ... including the Panzerfaust anti-tank weapon adorned with a pink ribbon tied in a bow. Why does a tankery player even have an infantry anti-tank weapon?

Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu!

• 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 "Cheeky despite being small." Thinking that (accidentally) poking Nonna in both eyes pushed it entirely too far, Katyusha goes into the Pose of Supplication, 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.)
• Darjeeling reads a novel about "earnest love" at an all-girls school and it 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.
• Cordon Bleugh Chef: When Darjeeling decides to act as a Meido and serve food to her subordinates:

Orange Pekoe: Aren't Darjeeling-sama's cooking skills... Are you familiar with them? Beat Panel Assam: It's not like we're going to die. Orange Pekoe: I hope so...

• Maho holding a Christmas Party for her tank commanders. In a Sexy Santa Dress.
  • Erika arrives wearing a reindeer costume (it seems she's got a touch more grasp of playfulness than most Kuromorimine girls). Her comrades, though, quickly convince her they've been called together for a chewing-out, and she panics just like the others.
  • Maho pulls out a karaoke machine, and since she doesn't know any pop music, she puts the Kuromorimine School Anthem on the playlist and asks her commanders to add their favorites. Since they're still mostly convinced she's building up to punish them for losing to Oarai, they all add the same thing.
  • 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, one of the architects of Germany's (and thus much of the modern world's) tank doctrine, but doesn't recognize that just now Maho is imitating Darjeeling saying it. This does not reassure her commanders....
  • After the commanders realize that Maho really just wants to spend Christmas with them, it's time for presents! The Maus commander is ... displeased ... to find the gift she receives is a model of the Type 89 which climbed onto her tank; likewise, 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, 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 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) is smiling nervously, and the other commanders have Hidden Eyes.

"Thanks really happy please wait expectingly for return gift."

• 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 face them. Turtle Team are sneaking away behind them.
