  • Suwako becoming the first casualty of EWI-based danmaku at the end of "Faith is for the Transient People."
  • Momizi raising her shield to block Aya's danmaku while running along and trying to keep up with her at the same time in "The Youkai Mountain ~ Mysterious Mountain."
  • "Higan Retour ~ Riverside View" has several:
    • Komachi is watching the nameless ghost play the EWI, then promptly snatches it to continue the song. The ghost tries to wordlessly ask for the EWI back, but backs off. Fortunately, Nitori is there to give it another one.
    • Speaking of Nitori, she's swimming in the water to collect the coin danmaku that Komachi is firing off during her playing.
    • The ending, where Komachi is dancing around as the scene goes dark and everyone but her retreats in time to avoid Shikieiki's wrath.
    • Also finding out that the ghost that had been playing the song with Komachi was actually Youmu's ghost half.
  • During "Mystic Oriental Dream ~ Ancient Temple," Youmu's popularity is growing while poor Yuyuko is left at home waiting for her dinner and getting upset.
  • During "Necrofantasia," Keine begins bandaging Mokou's wounds and ends up going overboard, mummifying her completely. Mokou bursts free in a fit of anger and appears fully healed.
  • Cirno is sleeping on the ground in "Beloved Tomboyish Daughter" until an EWI drops from the sky and hits her square in the face. She then tries a few notes on it and suddenly can play her own song perfectly.
    • Karma catches up with Cirno at the end too when she's eaten by a frog.
  • In "Septette for the Dead Princess," Patchouli eventually passes out from playing the accompaniment but Koakuma is on hand with an oxygen tank.
  • In "The Venerable Ancient Battlefield ~ Suwa Foughten Field," when Kanako attempts to make Suwako's new iron rings rust and they're revealed to now be stainless steel. It's even funnier in that Suwako isn't the one excited about her attack getting through, but Nitori is.
  • In "Plain Asia," Keine manages to finish her song in one long breath but passes out afterwards.
  • "A Flower-Studded Sake Dish on Mt. Ooe:"
    • Alice has to step away for a while. While she's gone, Patchouli steps over to be closer to Marisa.
    • Once Yuugi's danmaku starts appearing, Yukari pulls out her umbrella to block it.
    • At the end, all of the audience except Yukari are taken out and Rin is on hand to collect the P items.
  • While Satori is dressed as Suika during "Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye," her EWI is replaced by Suika's sake bottle and her face is going more and more red until the next costume change.
    • Utsuho is responsible for Satori's costume changes, but messes one up and from what little we can see before she notices, she apparently left Satori naked by accident. This is accompanied by two big, red "!" and a huge Sweat Drop.
    • At the end of the video, Evil Eye Sigma appears and can't help but blush and stare at the Komeiji sisters. During the final fadeout, Satori apparently reads its mind and calls it out for being a lolicon.
  • Reimu and Marisa's battle in "Alice Maestra" ending with both of them getting curb-stomped by Yuuka's Double Spark when their noise had interrupted her sleeping.
  • Reimu's Oh, Crap! face when Shinmyoumaru increases her size and nearly causes a Wardrobe Malfunction in "Kobito of the Shining Needle ~ Little Princess," which she holds for several seconds even as the fight resumes.
  • A subtle one in "Pandemonic Planet:" After Hecatia and Junko team up, Hecatia starts throwing miniature yellow moons at Reisen. This is one of the few times in the video when Reisen panics as her reaction indicates she's heavily reminded of and still hasn't gotten over the fight with Clownpiecenote .
    • Also the sudden arrival of Junko which not only pauses the music and prompts Reisen's You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me! expression, but seeing Junko smile at and wave to greet her is what seals the deal.
  • In "Complete Darkness," Mima is the first one to get angry rather than fully embarrassed over being on the receiving end of Clothing Damage and ramps up her attacks while still housing an expression that says, "You ruined my favorite outfit!"
  • A brief, easy to miss moment in "Where is that Bustling Marketplace Now? ~ Immemorial Marketeers" as the four playable characters are buying Ability Cards from the first four bosses, Reimu's face begins to turn blue and Misumaru is looking at her with an expression that says, "You idiot, get out of here and get some air already!"note 
  • Nazrin's expression when her dousing rods pick up the pagoda on Seiran after "At the End of Spring" makes her look like she's out for blood.
