* WhatTheHellHero Aizen of all people calls Nariko out like this in chapter 30, pointing out that Momohiko wouldn't have poisoned [[spoiler:Soujun]] if Nariko hadn't continued to push him and that for all her ranting about how awful he is, the worst outcome would be her rival winning the tournament. On the other hand, if she succeeds, a major clan will be destabilized and Momohiko's abusive father will probably be ''very'' displeased. YMMV depending on how you view Momohiko and Nariko's refusal to cut him any slack.
