* The climax of the rather dark fourth episode has Hirukama staggering around in a mixture of drunkeness and despair, sobbing for someone to stop him, which of course draws Lil' Slugger to strike him and skate away... [[MoodWhiplash until Hirukama suddenly gets to his feet and yells, causing "Lil' Slugger" to make quite a few amusing expressions before frantically skating away, only to be knocked out by]] a ''shoe'' (with an uncharacteristically humorous sound effect).

Added DiffLines:

** This episode is notable for being ''very'' disconnected from the rest of the series, since it focuses on a new plot that has little to do with the main narrative. So it comes off as hilarious when the old man brings up Lil' Slugger ''sixteen minutes'' into the episode, as if the show was reminding you that you were still watching ''Paranoia Agent''.
--->'''Old Man''' ''(casually)''''':''' Speaking of which, remember Lil' Slugger?

** The best part: when they're at the lowest, the suicide group wonders if Lil' Slugger might be able to kill them. Their despair summons him... and then when they cheer up, he freezes up and runs for it (the lack of anxiety, possibly combined with their being dead already, throws him off). So they ''chase down Lil' Slugger''.
