* TransferStudentUniforms: Each member of Class Black wheres a different uniform, although none of them seem to be the actual Myojou Academy uniform. Nio might be wearing the correct uniform, but it's hard to tell as all of the normal students are all monochrome.

* ProtectiveCharm: Haru claims to have one of these on her to protect her from dieing, stemmed from [[spoiler:how her family gave their lives to protect her. She says that her family cast a spell on her so that she won't die.]] Tokaku disagrees, however, calling it a curse
** Tokaku's [[spoiler:Aunt]] in a way cast one on Tokaku, [[spoiler:claiming that her mother is watching her from a shrine, so when she thinks about killing she remembers the shrine and is unable to kill.]] Tokaku considers it a curse.
** In both cases they are more psychological than mystical.

** If [[spoiler:Isuke hadn't have taken her time to cut up Haru]] then she could have killed her before Tokaku could have gotten there. Somewhat justified as [[spoiler:Isuke had pushed Tokaku out of a window, so she can be somewhat forgiven for assuming she'd killed her.]]
** If [[spoiler: Sumireko wasn't so obsessed with proving she was the best]] then she could have easily killed Haru what with her [[spoiler:prosthetic robot limbs and all.]]
*** Nio decided to [[spoiler:spend her supposed last moments]] taunting Tokaku about [[spoiler:seemingly killing Haru]]. What a piece of trash-suu.
