* RedHerring: In episode 3, Harumi sees her past when she was a little kid with her sibling. [[spoiler:Though the focus is initially on the girl, it's the ''boy'' who turns out to be the real Harumi before being warped into Masaki's dimension as a girl in a different family.]]

Haruko is 19 in Alternative, but she's inexplicable younger in some iterations, meaning Alternative may not really be a prequel.


** Haruko is a complete no-show outside of being mentioned by Kana, despite having appeared in every prior season including ''Alternative''. [[spoiler: It then turns out that the awakening of Kana's NO powers split reality in two with Haruko and Medical Mechanica ending up the reality where ''Grunge'', classic, and ''Progressive'' take place.]]

** This is the first FLCL season that doesn't feature Haruko as a character. [[spoiler:As far as we get, Kanda denies the fact that he wanted to see her again when trying to cause the split dimensions to unite again.]]
** This is also the first FLCL season that does feature a returning character or two (Kana and Kanda) without vaguely implying if it's connected to prior seasons or not.

There’s no indication that Harumi was inhabiting someone else’s body.


** After [[spoiler:the dimensional merge is stopped, Harumi is sent back to ''his'' own dimension, all memory of him is erased from everyone's mind except Masaki's, but it's never explained what happened to the girl whose body Harumi was inhabiting in Masaki's dimension.]]

* InvisibleToNormals: Masaki has been seeing strange [[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} Slimer]]-like spirits for most of his life, but nobody ever believes him until Harumi came along.

By the end of episode 3 they go back to being invisible to everyone except Masaki.
