* In episode 21, [[DistressedDude Goto is essentially kidnapped by Haiji and used as bait to lure Masayoshi into a final confrontation]], a role that is usually reserved for the love interest. Haiji then proceeds to ''shoot'' Goto (presumably; the camera fades to black right before), because he knows that injuring (or killing) Goto will be what finally turns him into the ultimate villain for Masayoshi.

** The plot of the entire episode is Masayoshi needing to discover the meaning of love. It's definitely purposeful.

** Goto's girlfriend is described as "cute, bubbly, and cheerful". Sounds like someone else we know, doesn't it?
** As of episode 20, Goto and Masayoshi seem to have a lot in common...

* Fans have noted the similarities between the Mari/Moe fight and Masayoshi/Goto fight. And considering how Mari and Moe resolved their issues...

** Also, by the beginning of the episode, Masayoshi has spoiler:saved the whole universe, met God, and can possibly become the president of the world. He's very excited and can't stop talking about... ''Goto being happy for finally meeting his girlfriend''.

* Depressing as it is, the fact that Goto doesn't have a girlfriend after all and is in an unhealthy relationship with himself raises the possibility of an enventual BL end considerably.

* Goto's girlfriend complained more than once about Goto talking about Masayoshi all the time, and that she felt he has taken Goto from her. This is pretty suspicious by itself, but then comes TheReveal of Goto having been texting himself all along. Let that sink in for a moment.

** In Episode 19, Mari tried to kiss Mizuki, but the latter wasn't too enthusiastic with the idea.

Mari pressing an iPod to the breasts of Mao and randomly kissing Moe. Mao pretty much states that this is a frequent event.

** The opening sequence introducing Masayoshi and Goto, their first meeting and almost all of their interactions between each other in the whole series led fans to believe that this could've shift into the yaoi genre anytime. The fact that Goto already got a girlfriend doesn't help.
** UpToEleven when you noticed Masayoshi's clingy attitude towards Goto and the latter's being constantly worrying and protective towards the former. Masayoshi even mentioned that Goto is his only friend and the first one to discover his secret.
** Even Mari could see the tension going on between both of the boys, she assumed that Goto is in love with Masayoshi!
** Another shipping fuel: Masayoshi and Goto joining forces on defeating Guillotine Gorilla.
** In Episode 12, Masayoshi visits Goto in his apartment. He looks at him so fondly that Goto is creeped out at first. Later Masayoshi admits that even though he is a respected hero and has true allies in fighting crime now, he almost depended on Goto again.
** Goto was the first on Masayoshi's list of people to save from the From Beyond threat.
** Episode 13 gives us a scene where Goto and Masayoshi both look at each other's contact info on their cells and then decide not to call the other, complete with some sad music playing in the background.
** Official art features Goto trying to feed heart-shaped chocolate to Masayoshi. [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/450711dbc6b93d0ae5ce8d46c6d11f25/tumblr_n0950eoeEE1tneyr8o1_500.png Yes, really.]]
** The end of Episode 16 is a montage of Goto and Masayoshi's moments, culminating in Hazama ''finally'' going back to him after becoming a fugitive. Goto's answer? "Took you long enough, stupid". [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Awwww]].
** In episode 18 Goto stays in one spot all night waiting for Masayoshi, and he even starts chain-smoking because he's so worried.
*** And what does Masayoshi think of, while he's lying on top of the Moon, on the verge of death? "Goto... I did it."
** In episode 19, Masayoshi can't seem to fathom the thought that Goto might have plans that don't include him. Later, after the truth about Goto's girlfriend is revealed, Masayoshi is visibly distressed and very upset that while he's been asking Goto for help from the very beginning, he never paused to think that maybe ''Goto'' was the one who needed help.

** Mari pressing an iPod to the breasts of Mao and randomly kissing Moe. Mao pretty much states that this is a frequent event.
** Episode 10 confirms what we already know in a heartbreaking manner: while Moe would gladly give up her life for Mari, stating "Mari-san is my reason for living", Mari doesn't feel the same. Moe knows this, but it doesn't stop her from trying to save Mari anyways. Also doubles as a TearJerker moment when we see the [[http://www.31.media.tumblr.com/45387482803eb24ddc057c94c193786c/tumblr_mxpwcjD4ag1qmzc7vo5_1280.png expression]] on Moe's face.
*** It keeps getting worse for Moe as of episodes 14 and 15, as Mari flat out explodes in anger upon seeing her again, bringing her to tears.
*** In Episode 16, the conflict between the MMM girls ends in Mari and Moe [[TheBigDamnKiss passionately making out]], and targeting Mizuki afterwards (they run to her, the scene cuts to black, and a smooch sound is heard).
** NoYay: Masayoshi and Kaname, especially in episode 3.
