* Rin and Sousuke visit the stall where Ikuya is working. Ikuya offers Rin some sweets, which he politely turns down due to his diet. Turns out Ikuya knew about that and was just screwing with Rin, which ends up rubbing him the wrong way. He says he will only buy from them if Ikuya is nice to him. In response, Ikuya reveals he has some of Rin's embarrassing photos from the time when he had to participate in a maid cafe in Samezuka academy. Rin unsuccessfully tries to have him delete the photo, then pulls out his trump card: Natsuya, Ikuya's older brother, often drunkenly sends Ikuya's embarrassing photos to Rin, which he too has kept. [[HypocriticalHumor Ikuya angrily asks Rin to delete the photos]] and this eventually devolves into a pissing contest between the two.
* When the main characters arrive in the hotel, Rin turns to Haru and suggests they should check out the pool, only to find that Haru pulled a StealthHiBye and the person he was talking to was Ikuya. Ikuya nonchalantly ignores Rin's baffled expression and agrees to accompany him, telling him to wait for him.
* Rin and Sousuke visit Nitori and Momotaro's dorm room, where Momotaro declares that he will beat Nitori to become the Samezuka team's next captain after he graduates. Seijuro, [[StealthHiBye out of nowhere appears]] behind Rin and Sousuke and declares, startling everyone in the process, that he is proud of his little brother's drive and then challenges him to race with him, much to his displeasure. Seijuro may have graduated but he'll still subject his siblings to his TrainingFromHell methods no matter what.

* In the beginning of the movie, Kinjou and Ikuya end up together in the rain, where the former quietly apologises to the latter for harassing him and Hiyori, before running away. As Ikuya watches Kinjou leave, he is startled by the 6'1" Sousuke having somehow snuck up beside him, making a comment about Kinjou. He then [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial says he is not lost or anything]]. Ikuya realised [[NoSenseOfDirection Sousuke]] really ''is'' lost.

* Nagisa ends up in the same college as Kinjou. He cheerfully introduces himself and asks him if he can go swimming. The other teammates are horrified to see Nagisa chat with [[{{Jerkass}} Kaede Kinjou]] and think he'll get yelled at, but to their surprise, he just calmly reminds him to warm up and stretch first. They all come to the conclusion that Kinjou has [[TookALevelInKindness changed for the better]] and they all approach him for tips, only for him to explode in anger and yell at them all to not depend on others.

** Also the Reichantei pun Nagisa makes. If you didn't get it, it's a pun on "meitantei", meaning 'great detective'. ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' comes to mind, and it's probably what inspired the joke in the first place.

* Haruka's nervous reaction to the ''Saba'' games. The joke here is that saba (when used in katakana) is a short form of the English word "survival", but the term also means mackerel, Haru's TrademarkFavoriteFood. This was LostInTranslation in the English dub.
