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]].
Line 77:
* 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]].
