* ''Fanfic/DoingItRightThisTime'': Tokyo-3 Municipal Middle School's ''TabletopGame/{{Go}}'' club apparently has a "Days Since Last [[RageQuit Nuclear Tesuji]]" counter. Asuka got herself kicked out for making them reset it during her first game, which she ''claims'' was just so she could say she'd done it and had nothing ("Well, not ''much''"...) to do with the fact she's not a very good ''go'' player.
