* While episode 20 is [[TearJerker not this at all]], it has its moments. Early on, a friend of Wakaba's visits while she's chatting with [[PrettyFreeloaders Saionji]]. Wakaba comes up with some [[BlatantLies paper-thin coverups]]... before a {{Beat}} where both she and her friend silently acknowledge that [[InterruptedIntimacy they both know what's up]]. Keeping up the facade to the end, Wakaba [[RefugeInAudacity "invites" her friend in]], which her friend "[[DeadpanSnarker reluctantly]]" declines. Cue [[ClosetShuffle Saionji emerging from under Wakaba's bed]].

* Pretty much everything happening in the background of the student council meetings. Knife throwing acts, restaurant tables and the student council eating the bills, mikes and cameras appearing from nowhere when Saionji asks Touga an ArmorPiercingQuestion, ''a train crossing with an invisible train that covers what they're trying to say''...

** Again from the events of episode 6: those three guys too ate the curry (in fact they did it before Utena and Anthy)... Alongside three ''elephants''. For the rest of the episode there's around three elephants with those three guys' distinctive hairstyle and glasses.

It's Tatsuya's reaction, and especially how it actually takes him a few seconds to register what Wakaba has just said, that sells it.

* Nanami's various attempts at trying to embarrass Anthy in the fourth episode by trying to make it look like she keeps disgusting animals in her room. Only to have them horribly backfire because Anthy is already doing stranger things than the ones Nanami is trying to pull on her, such as keeping snails in her pencil box (compared to Nanami's single snail), a mongoose in her desk (that ate Nanami's garden snake), and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick a gigantic octopus float from the school festival in her closet]] (Nanami wanted to put there a much smaller live one). Nanami's desired results:
-->'''Miki''': Miss Himemiya! I've misjudged you!\\
'''Utena''': I'm so shocked!

-->'''Miki''': I think it's cute. It's just like Miss Himemiya to do something like that.
