"This is how we make new items?!"

  • The game starts with Delta in a mysterious region. There's an equally mysterious character as the first scene of the game after the player takes control and then a battle. Following this, Sharly appears to thank them for rescuing her. Then she invites Delta to "wipe away my tears with your big, strong hands" ….and then Cass wakes Delta up. Delta was having a Rescue Sex wet dream.
  • After being hired to investigate Sarly's disappearance, Delta is assured that his restaurant will be taken care of in his absence. He later finds out that this means Nay takes it over. She replaced his sign and nailed her own to the wall. Casty asks if she assigned Delta to the mission simply for an excuse to do this. Nay responds, "I would never do something so clever and perfectly-executed."
    • Nay and Casty talk about something else, and there's a Funny Background Event of Delta trying and failing to get the new sign down.
    • Nay's first recipe is for Sukiyaki. After trying it, Casty decides it is more Sukiyucky, and that becomes its official name.
      • Later, Ion and Earthes can make it with her. Ion unwittingly agrees with Casty; Earthes thinks that Nay is trying to kill Ion.
  • Casty's first Geometrics level is a war between the Tsun Kingdom and the Dere Empire. In other words, it is based on the personality conflict at the heart of the tsundere trope. It gets even funnier when the translator is introduced. Because Tsun and Dere are treated as different languages, the aloof aggression of the former is translated into the lovesick sweetness of the later.
  • The synthesis dances, especially watching Earthes join in and, even more, Delta's complete look of "I really don't want to be doing this," on his face.
  • Nay's Genometrics with Casty is Black Comedy at its finest with Nay running an amusement park with attractions like a Coin-Operated Electric Chair and the Towering Guillotine. It's the Futurama Suicide Booths taken up to eleven as Nay and Casty enter a competition to bring hundreds of thousands of people to their particular attractions per day.
  • Kanon's second Genometrics with Ion showcases some hilarious Power Perversion Potential when everyone basically dictates what kinds of laws Kanon will pass: Delta invokes one where all of the women can only wear swimsuits, Sarly declares that Only Smart People May Pass with a law that anyone who doesn't fully understand Wave Science be imprisoned, we don't know what Nay would have created (since she lost to Sarly in rock-paper-scissors), and Casty creates a law to dictate that she and Delta be married before the day is over.
  • Even as a child, Shurelia has No Sense of Direction. When she gets lost taking Delta and Casty to Silvaplata (on a road with one fork), she tries to invoke I Meant to Do That by taking a detour to look for bunnies. They don't believe her at all.
  • Near the end of Nay's synthesis events, she and Delta have a cooking contest and they decide to ham it up for the crowd before getting started, with some people treating it ranging from Serious Business to Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, while Cass has to be coached on her lines and gives a very half-hearted delivery.
