* Sophia will occasionally [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud say different sound effects out loud]] to describe her points, such as the process of travelling between the real-world and Jail being described as "SHOOWOWOWOW," sometimes followed by Ryuji imitating what she just said. Her deliveries in the English dub are incredibly charming.



* When Zenkichi is first encountered in a police meeting, while a coworker relays incidents that have recently happened, it turns out that among all the more distasteful and even gruesome stories, the last one... is of the Director General of Criminal Affairs [[NakedNutter stripping naked and running around]]. Zenkichi's reaction is [[NakedPeopleAreFunny what one would probably expect,]] though frowned upon by someone supervising the meeting.

* When the rest of the Phantom Thieves enter the Jail for the first time, Panther brought up Noir's old codename, Beauty Thief. Without missing a {{Beat}}, Noir spouts, "My name is Beauty Thief!" while posing.

* Alice's freakout in the real world is obviously PlayedForDrama and {{Foreshadowing}} that you are dealing with a completely different threat from Palaces, but it's very difficult to take seriously when it consists of her abruptly bricking and the male talk show host fervently confessing to her, followed by Alice (literally) stepping on her manager like her Shadow does and lashing out at him in a rather public hallway. The fact that Alice is a grown woman and not a kid just makes it even more outlandish.
