* LameExcuse: In the [=DiC=] dub, Serena gives a sob story about how comic books are a much needed escape she needs from the pressures of grading and difficult schoolwork, saying how much harder she has it compared to when Ikuko was a kid. Ikuko doesn't fall for it, claiming she ''also'' used that excuse on her own parents.


Added DiffLines:

* WhereDidWeGoWrong: Ikuko actually says it word for word in the [=DiC=] dub when she tells Serena that they're worried she might genuinely flunk out of school if her grades don't improve.
