* AngryCheekPuff: During their second time at the National Karuta Tournament, Tsutomu scouts the other teams in advance. He warns them that one member of the team they're facing stands a lot to disrupt momentum if his opponent is winning. He gets paired up against Kanade. Forearmed with Tsutomu's information, when the guy stands once too often, Kanade [[ResortToPouting puffs her cheeks out and looks up at him.]] He apologizes, and Kanade, with flashing eyes, smugly thinks to herself that he won't be pulling that again any time soon. She wins her match, as well.

* CorrectiveLecture:
** After Chihaya suffers a breakdown due to a devastating defeat at the hands of Yumi "The Disputer" Yamato, Doctor Harada gently lectures Chihaya on never surrendering cards, and her failure to thank her opponent for the match. It helps bring Chihaya back to herself.
** After Chihaya loses to current queen Shinobi Wakamiya, she gets a lecture from Doctor Harada about not relying solely on her speed. When she loses to a slower opponent who focuses on patience and accuracy, Chihaya understands what Doctor Harada was trying to tell her.
** When Chihaya bails on a study session to watch a match involving Taichi, she gets a lecture from Tsutomu who points out to her that Taichi puts in the work, because if he didn't, his EducationMama would make him quit the club. Chihaya apologizes and buckles down to study.

* HoldingInLaughter: During Mizusawa's first regional tournament, Dr. Harada is watching Chihaya's match in the finals, and asks another coach how many readers are there. The coach informs Harada that it's just the one reader due to it being high school qualifiers. Harada blushes and claps a hand over his mouth to keep from laughing, as he knows that with Chihaya's exceptional hearing, after five matches she knows every nuance and cadence of the reader's voice, giving her a sizable advantage.

* UnspokenRetort:
** At Doctor Harada's Karuta society, Chihaya is facing a player who is trying to take advantage of the fact that Chihaya goes after the Chihayafuru card, thinking smugly to himself that he has her number. However, it does him no good as he gets flustered whenever he makes eye contact with a cute girl, including Chihaya.
** During Chihaya's first match against Shinobu, she manages to take a card off of the Queen, but not just any card. It's Shinobu's namesake card. Chihaya holds it up as she retrieves it, thinking, "And this card is tied to the Queen."
** When Shinobu notices that Chihaya is still earnestly trying to win, rallying when so many of her other opponents whither under her skill, Shinobu smiles, thinking of Chihaya's determination, "Good job."
** When Arata is facing Shinobu in competition, he calmly takes cards off of her, thinking with confidence, "You're breaking down, Shinobu."

* ResortToPouting: In episode 21, Chihaya is matched up against a child prodigy, Ririka Tachibana. When Chihaya manages to score a card, Ririka pouts, "She got one, but she's still slow."

** During the team rounds at Nationals in season 2, Kanade pouts at her opponent after he stands to stretch once too often. She was using Tsutomo's info, which told her that it was how he broke a foe's momentum. Kanade's deliberately invoked pout is to prevent him from doing it again, and her glowing eyes afterwards say she played him like a fiddle.
