* {{Jerkass}}: Touga, even as he tries even harder to convince Utena he is her chivalrous prince, is shockingly horrible in this episode. Saionji, despite their long rivalry, seems genuinely remorseful at having hurt Touga, and asks Touga to hold on to his exchange diary after his expulsion.

* AnswerCut: During the student council meeting, Juri asks, "Are you telling me that the End of the World deemed someone else, besides us and Utena, eligible to participate in the duels?" The next scene is Nanami, the duelist to-be, assaulting Utena for her involvement in Touga's injury from episode 9.
* BadSamaritan: Touga promises to have Saionji's expulsion reversed and to pass along his exchange diary with Anthy. In the very next scene, he tosses the diary in the school incenerator. There's no evidence that he honors his promise to reinstate Saionji, either.
