* The first half of Episode 269 deals with Gintoki and Tsukuyo's attempts to make Seita gain interest in Japanese history. Gintoki attempts to shirk his responsibilities by having Seita read the historical manga ''Hana no Seiji'', earning him a kunai to the back of the head from Tsukuyo. At one point, Tsukuyo calls Gintoki [[Manga/{{AssassinationClassroom}} "Koro-sensei"]], and the next scene shows [[https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qejxy7rFZzQ/VUsyrYFp9nI/AAAAAAAAChM/wyiFqpgAW3U/w1600-h960/koro%2Bsensei.jpg Koro-sensei cosplaying Gintoki]]. Also hilarious considering that Creator/TomokazuSugita (Gintoki) also voices Karasuma, the stoic agent looking after Koro-sensei.

** Also, after an angry Tae tries to kill Sacchan by wrapping her up in a mat and dumping her in a body of water, Sacchan eventually washes up on a remote island inhabited by an indigenous tribe. Sacchan's tribal outfit is a parody of San's from ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'', right down to the mask and furry headdress.
