* Nurse's controlling tendencies are at their strongest throughout Season 2, with her scolding, scoffing at, and manhandling Crafty rather frequently whenever he acts out of line. Crafty spends quite a bit of time egging her on as well, to the point where she lashes out at him even when he ''isn't'' doing anything wrong. They both spend Season 3 thereafter building a rapport with each other to avoid falling into those habits again. The two ultimately made the right call, but Nurse likely dodged the biggest bullet. The same season begins exploring the abuse she faced in her childhood thanks to Mindstein, and there are some alarming parallels between how she and her mother approach discipline--both fall back on authoritarian and coercive tactics. It's very possible that Nurse's relationship with Crafty could've deteriorated to something far worse had neither party had their moments of clarity.

They both spend Season 3 thereafter building a rapport with each other to avoid falling into those habits again. This decision is an especially good choice for Nurse in particular, as the same season begins exploring the abuse she faced in her childhood thanks to Mindstein. Suddenly, it's clear she was beginning to echo the same authoritarian, coercive parenting style that her mother put her through to discipline Crafty, giving their conflict a disturbing edge. If neither of them had their moments of clarity in "Crafty Hearts Re:Grouped," it's very possible their relationship could've taken a far darker turn than what Season 2 demonstrated.

** This theory turned out to be somewhat untrue. It was revealed in a stream regarding the show in December 2022 that Screw was deliberately responsible for sending Crafty to U.A. High. It would have been revealed in Season 5 that her original personality shined through just before she landed her punch, and she calculated the distance to Crafty's eventual destination. However, therein lies some further brilliance: recognizing that the Crew had a Hero Month planned, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Screw turns her mother's adherence to the show's monthly themes against her]].

* One of the art pieces of "This is Crack(ship)" depicts Messi splattered across guest character Cascade's body, entirely engulfing the slime already present on the latter. A neat detail of the piece is that Cascade's tail is curled up, and the result is shaped like a typical gastropod shell. It's a nod to Messi's snail motif, which she retains even after being blown apart!

* The way Messi's debut in "New Season, New Friends" is presented makes it seem as though [[ArtInitiatesLife her promotional artwork comes to life]], as if she's yet another art piece of Crafty's that gained sentience. In truth, Crafty accidentally made her in the castle's piping sometime before this episode went live, but the presentation choice nonetheless mirrors how Messi is another accidental creation of his.

* Notably, Pepper tends to wear undersized tops no matter what. It seems impractical at first, but then again, she's also very gluttonous, [[BalloonBelly often eating until her stomach doubles in size]]. And there's also Octo-bloat, where she bloats willingly as a defensive technique. Keeping her belly uncovered allows her to eat comfortably and use her ability practically, all without straining her clothing when her gut expands.
