13* Joujirou's attempt to capture Yuu includes destroying a flower shop (with an unbelievable expression from the owner), a bunch of trash cans and bags (throwing a cat in the process), a sign lamp, a bike parking rail, and a bookstore. When he's able to capture Yuu, the sheer force launches both of them into the sky (complete with contrail), and when they land in the water, they bounce off the surface like a flat stone thrown at the water.

42
43[[AC:Episode 4]]
44* Ayumi makes breakfast for her and Yuu: French toast with... well, take a wild guess: pizza sauce. Cue the disgusted expression from Yuu of how it's so ''red'' with sauce. He eats it though, with a ''tortured'' expression. ([[OverlyLongGag Pizza sauce running gag: five]])
45* The entire classroom (especially the guys, except Yuu apparently) having an excited reaction when they discover they got the idol Yusa Nishimori as a NewTransferStudent, but their excitement turns into a frenzy when Joujirou starts chanting her name like in a concert.

49* How Yusa calms one of the players with low morale: Magic Spell #9.

52* Joujirou uses his powers again to zoom to first base after bunting the ball. Though the umpire doesn't see him, and he crashes into the chain link fence, Nao shows the umpire video footage that Joujirou did touch first base, and is considered safe as a result. Joujirou's condition after crashed? Carried off the field with [[CensoredForComedy a mosaic censored, bloody face]].

57* Misa kicks in after learning that Nao has been beaten up by a bunch of other school girls and offers her a retaliation.
58* Misa is not happy with Nao's idea of camping in the middle of the mountain, so she starts using words that are covered with [[SoundEffectBleep **peep**]] (and [[SymbolSwearing $#@%]] in the subtitles). Joujirou subsequently tells her to not make Yusa say that, and daringly asks her to "come back" to Yusa. Of course she's pissed about it. The entire situation makes Yuu question the competency of his team.
59* Nao and Yuu debate about what to buy for their barbecue. Nao only thinks about meat and acts like his spoiled girlfriend, while Yuu tells her to buy more vegetables and acts like her wiser boyfriend. Yusa and Joujirou [[EveryoneCanSeeIt think that they]] would make a cute couple. This makes Joujirou happy because he has a better chance with Yusa, but while he's having his glad-to-be-alive spiel as he's alone with Yusarin, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Yusa can be seen slowly edging away]].
60* Nao explains that their observation might take more than a day, and when Yusa says that she didn't bring a change of clothes, Nao says that they won't die because of it.
61* InUniverse: Nao thinks it would be funny if Yuu fell down the old well while making their tent, much to Yuu's annoyance.

63* Yuu claims to be only one to eat the vegetables in the barbecue.

66* The target kid jumps off the cliff and falls into the old well that Yuu almost fell into earlier, making him reveal his power. The fact that Nao had already prepared the old well trap even makes Joujirou scared.
67* Yuu clearly finds the stage name of the target kid when he's famous [[note]]Skyhigh Saito the Hollywood Star[[/note]] corny, even briefly pausing the heartwarming BGM.

69
70[[AC:Episode 6]]
71* Kumagami barges into the student council room while everyone is hanging around and eating their lunch... and promptly causes all of them to freeze. After he leaves, everybody continues their lunch, and Yuu falls off of the box he was sitting on.
72* Yuu realizes that he only needs Nao and Yusa to accompany him on the visit to investigate Ayumi's power... so he initially wants to make Joujirou miss the trip by taking over his body and making him dive out of the student council room window. Nao stops him, though, and decides she'll do the dirty work instead: she pretends to see a ''giraffe'' to attract Joujirou's attention to the window, and kicks him through the glass. And afterwards, she casually calls an ambulance, informing them that there was an ''injured'' person.
73* Yuu realizes that the price of the items they bought in the minimarket is over his budget. When Nao takes a look, he quickly closes his wallet.
74* Yusa asks the cashier for a box of royal cookies that is above him. Yuu is surprised and states that he never saw anyone buy those cookies... And after the cashier mentions their price[[note]]¥2500, roughly $20[[/note]], he becomes more surprised by how expensive those cookies are. He also seems amazed by the ''fancy paper bag'' that the box is put in.
75* Yuu imitating Ayumi's surprise of seeing Yusa. To cover her identity, Yusa uses her PaperThinDisguise, that simply consists of a pair of sunglasses and flu mask. To make it funnier, Yuu believes such a disguise is good enough to fool Ayumi.
76* Yuu and Nao [[SpeakInUnison simultaneously]] denying that [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend they're in a relationship]].
77* When she sees Yusa enter the room, Ayumi has a {{Nosebleed}}, a ''[[HighPressureBlood high pressured one]]''. Nao immediately stops it. Yusa takes off her disguise in relief ... only for Ayumi to have ''another'' nosebleed, while Nao has to stop her bleeding again.
78* Ayumi and Yusa immediately have great chemistry, starting from sharing the same speech pattern, and they even SpeakInUnison while eating the porridge.
79* The entire scene where Yuu and Nao are washing dishes together while being [[ShipTease teased by Ayumi about being in a relationship]]. They ended up stating that [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend she's/he's not my (girl/boy)friend]] [[SpeakInUnison at the exact same time]] again, ''twice''. Completed by Nao's StealthInsult towards Yuu as an answer of Ayumi's ShipTease opinion.
80--> '''Ayumi''': Come now... Ayu thinks that you two are totally a great couple.
81--> '''Nao''': ''(sarcastically)'' No, no... attractive and intelligent boys like this ''chump'' is someone I can never be a match for, ha ha.
82
83[[AC: Episode 7]]
84* A somewhat dark example: After Yuu kicks some of his skewers into one of the guys who keeps playing an arcade game Yuu wanted to play, he has a brilliant answer for their question.
85--> '''Guy #1''': This guy hit me with trash, telling me to get outta the way.
86--> '''Guy #2''': ''(towards Yuu)'' And who do you think you are?
87--> '''Yuu''': Just a normal law-abiding citizen, you know?
88--> '''Guy #1''': A normal law-abiding citizen hits people with trash?
89--> '''Yuu''': Of course, if they get pissed off.
90
91[[AC: Episode 8]]
92* Yuu's comeback to school is welcomed by Yusa's warm greeting, triggering the envy of his male classmates. Further, Yusa includes Magic Spell #1 on her welcoming back greetings, triggering an enthusiastic response by nearly all of the male students of his class, especially Joujirou.
93* When Yusa tells the class that she has one of her first edition newest music videos, the entire class wants to see it... except two students: ''[[OnlySaneMan Yuu and Nao]]'', the latter giving her usual PhraseCatcher "Such a turn-off!" response ''to her entire class''.
94* Joujirou makes another crazy attempt to get him and Yuu an early limited edition lunch.
95* In the middle of their lunch, Nao suddenly calls. Assuming there will be an announcement from Kumagami, they decide to finish lunch faster to the point Yuu almost vomits in the student council room. Nao actually just wants to offer them a chance to see Yusa's music video.
96* An enthusiastic Joujirou watching Yusa's music video in front the television, blocking other students' view... so Nao just kicks him aside.
97* The scene where Nao reviews Yusa's music video performance.
98--> '''Nao''': 10 points for the singing, 20 points for the song, 20 points for the costume, 30 points for the editing, and -51 points for the singer being so pathetic.
99* Later, Yusa ask her to re-evaluate the performance to just based on the music video.
100--> '''Nao''': 80 points.
101--> '''Joujirou''': ''(to Yusa)'' Good for you!
102--> '''Yusa''': All right! ''Yusarin'' is so happy!
103--> '''Nao''': And it's down to 19 points.
104* Joujirou confuses ZHIEND's genre from post-rock to rock; an angry Nao tells him to check it on Website/TheOtherWiki.
105* The gang nominates Yuu to accompany Nao to ZHIEND's concert, but initally Yuu refuses, claiming they haven't asked Misa's opinion first. Suddenly, Yusa switches with Misa.
106--> '''Misa''': I'll go if I can listen to a super-fast two-bass at BPM 260.
107--> '''Nao''': You won't get a super-fast two-bass at BPM 260 so please restrain yourself.
108--> ''(Yusa shakes her body as Nao glares at her, while Misa's spirit leaves her body while still glaring at Nao)''
109* Sala expressing her disappointment to Yuu with a dramatic expression.
110--> '''Sala''': Jesus!
111* Yuu amazed by Sala's exaggerated expression while eating soba.
112--> '''Sala''': Oh my God! Croquet Soba? This menu item is way too amazing! A miraculous chemistry! I gotta pay respect to whoever came up with this!
113--> '''Yuu''': Good for you then.
114* In the ending credit scene, Sala gets a phone call which visually can be seen as a loud call. The next scene, she can be seen dragged by a man in suit who is supposedly her manager.
115
116[[AC: Episode 9]]
117* Nao is surprised by Yuu's CatapultNightmare.
118* A subtle one: After Kumagami comes to visit Yuu without his bangs, Nao is confused and doesn't recognize him, so he immediately put his hair down to cover his face, which Nao immediately recognize, and comments that he looks more handsome ''while he's dry''.
119
120[[AC: Episode 10]]
121* Imagine meeting a complete stranger who already knows who you are, happily doing TheGlomp on you, and giving you an embarrassing AffectionateNickname. Yeah, that's how Kumagami feels when he first met Shunsuke.
122* When Medoki uses her hypnotize ability to Ayumi, everything goes smooth as she falls asleep within Medoki's embrace. Unfortunately for Yuu, he falls asleep without someone to catch him. Consequently he hits the drawer face-first.
123* Yuu trying out one of his newly acquired abilities, telekinesis, to bring a book from bookshelf without touching it. Unfortunately, the books launch uncontrollably at him. He manages to dodge the first book, only to get [[RunningGag hit in the face]] by the second book.
124* The student council gang infiltrating Ayumi's school using a bunch of PaperThinDisguise. Nao and Yusa dress as middle schoolers, and Joujirou disguises himself as... a teacher. Yuu is not impressed.
125** The first disguise to be blown is Joujirou's, by one of actual teachers there.
126** The second disguise to be blown over is Yusa's, by a bunch of male students recognizing her as Yusarin the idol. Misa's interference only makes things worse.
127---> '''Misa''': I ain't nothing like Yusarin!
128---> '''Male student #1''': Huh? But no matter how I look at you, you're Yusarin, right?
129---> '''Misa''': Then how about this? ''(spits at the floor)'' Would a pop idol do something like this?
130---> '''Male student #2''': This saliva... what should I do with it? (alternatively: This saliva.... Such a waste.)
131---> '''Nao''': Such a turn-off!
132** Unfortunately, Nao's words diverts the student's attention to her, with them assuming she's also an idol filming some show at their school. She decides to run away, leaving Misa. The next scene shows them running while being pursued by a mass of students.
133** The scene concludes with [[SurroundedByIdiots the expression on Yuu's face]].
134* When Yuu meets Kumagami at the end of the episode, he already knows who he is and calls him by his embarrassing AffectionateNickname, causing Medoki to chuckle a bit at it.
135
136[[AC: Episode 11]]
137* One of the researcher works under Shunsuke, Dr. Tsutsumiuchi, makes a sharp comment about Yuu's dense comment about the vaccine for ability wielders.
138--> '''Shun''': The ability-wielders overseas have banded up, we're in a situation where we don't know when they will cause terror in the world.
139--> '''Yuu''': What about the vaccine?
140--> '''Shun''': We can curb the number of infected that way, but it doesn't do anything for the people who already developed their abilities.
141--> '''Yuu''': Then, all you have to do is make a wonder drug to counter it!
142--> '''Dr. Tsutsumiuchi''': Otosaka (Shunsuke)... you are indeed a sharp one, but I guess your little brother isn't so much.
143* Yuu is surprised by how quick Ayumi accepts Shunsuke as his oldest brother, when she's still losing his memory of him all this time.
144* Shichino is demonstrating his ability to Ayumi, but unfortunately, all of them are moving to the other room after he just walks through the wall. When he's going back to the starting room where all of them were gathering to boasts himself and in tired state, the only person remaining there is Yuu.
145* Medoki invites Yuu to play mahjong along with Kumagami, Maedomori, and Shichino. Yuu feels that he's going to win, only to be fallen into Kumagami's trap, which makes him instantly lose the game.
146--> '''Medoki''': Amazing, this is the first time I've seen someone lose all points in the first hand.
147--> '''Kumagami''': You really suck at this, are you really Shunsuke's little brother?
148* After Yuu loses the mahjong game, Kumagami has to go out, since he found another ability user. Yuu then realizes that Kumagami never needed to get himself wet to use his powers.
149* Another example that's sort of funny in a dark way: Kumagami [[DefiantToTheEnd snarking at]] the terrorist group when they first start questioning him.
150
151[[AC:Episode 12]]
152* Nao's nonplussed reaction to Yuu's love confession.
153
154[[AC:Episode 13]]
155* When Yuu's traveling, he's fairly reliant on the flashcards at first, and often has to flip through them to find the phrase he needs, even when he's interrogating a man for information on where the person who helps the organization find power users is.
156* After Yuu learns that he's been nicknamed "The One-Eyed Grim Reaper" by people terrified of his ability to plunder their abilities, he's mortified.
157
158[[AC:Bonus Episode]]
159* Yuu turns out to have a fear of heights and high speeds, and is forced to spend the entire day at an amusement park. He can't even save face since he's with an ability wielder that makes everyone hear each other's thoughts.
