- Related to this, the last cartoon Taichi saw [dead link] was Beat Blades Haruka.
- Missy comes up with a new game called bikini dog food fight.
- Shinta is particularly fond of Rurouni Kenshin. Hajime even got him a figurine once. Ironically, titular character Kenshin's real name is Shinta (although different kanji is used).
