* AdaptationalJobChange:
** Dejiko works at a cake store, and Puchiko later gets a job at [=McDonald’s=].
** Rabi~en~Rose is a actress.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: This special easily contains the nicest portrayals of Dejiko and Puchiko ever seen.
** Dejiko is very generous and lacks her trademark temper. Case in point, when she bumps into Takurou at the beginning of the special and they drop their cakes, the first thing she does is apologize.
** Puchiko lacks many of her snarkier tendencies and is even the one to get Dejiko to patch things up with Takurou.

* FutureLoser:
** Downplayed. Dejiko is not doing awful, but her days of fame and being in the limelight are clearly long behind her.
** Inverted with Rabi~en~Rose who is stated to have become a somewhat famous actress.

* BittersweetEnding: Dejiko is moving away and will not be able to see Takorou all too often, but they were able to patch things up and plan to stay in contact.

* ThirdActMisunderstanding: Due to some gossip from her coworkers, Dejiko believes that Takorou is unfaithful.

* AlternateContinuity: The special seems to be in a universe of its own, with many of the more fantastical elements and characters being absent. The [=DVD=] does make mention of Gamers, but otherwise, there is very little to indicate that this is in canon with any of the previous Di Gi Charat anime.

It is by far the strangest entry in the franchise because of the fact that it is completely down to earth and lacks any of the fantastical elements the series is known for, you won’t find any eye beams or yellow blobs here.

* MistakenForRomance: In ''Winter Garden'', Takurou and his sister, Aiko, are mistaken for a couple by one of Dejiko's co-workers. This causes problems when said coworker informs Dejiko of this alleged relationship.

* GrandFinale: The back of the [=DVD=] dubs it the finale of the original saga. This was indeed the last anime related to Di Gi Charat released until Reiwa came out in 2022, nearly 16 years later. The special still is a finale continuity-wise, however, as ''Reiwa'' has Dejiko and Puchiko go back to being 10 and 5 respectively.

Ten years later, Dejiko and Puchiko have hung up their cat ears and {{VerbalTic}}s. One evening, on her way home from her job at the bakery, Dejiko ends up falling for a man named Takurou Senba. Now we follow their blossoming relationship as they go through various ups and downs.
