* To people who have watched the original Japanese version of the anime or read the manga, the narrator in the English dub of the anime doesn't seem to serve that much of a purpose. After all, he completely lacks the serious tone that the Japanese narrator has, thus ruining the joke of the narrator treating every one of Kaguya snd Shirogane's schemes like a literal battle. But actually, the English narrator does serve a purpose, though a different one from the Japanese narrator: he's an AudienceSurrogate albeit, one that knows a bit more than we do. Think about it, he laughs and cries and gets frustrated alongside us. He makes the same lampshades we might make while watching the show and often acts like that one guy who talks to the TV as if the characters can hear him.

Added DiffLines:

* A sleep-addled Kaguya ranks Ishigami as her second favorite member of the Student Council and Fujiwara as the third. While this is initially a heartwarming sign of how her relationship with Ishigami has evolved, it's also a sign of how her relationship with Fujiwara is becoming increasingly strained due to the latter's behavior. This situation would only get worse as the series progressed.

** When Kaguya is taken back to their home, despite wanting to live her life, this is where the story splits. When given gifts to ease their pain, the Emperor had the immortality elixir destroyed cause he didn't want to live in a world without her. But in Shirogane's story, he decides to take the gift (large sums of money) to go to war against Kaguya's family to bring her back. And unlike the Emperor, Shirogane success.

* During an interview, Kaguya claims her archery skills derive from chancing the perfect shot once and repeating the same motions ever since, and the arrow hitting the target is just a consequence. This is ''very'' close to how Kyudo works: differently from its martial predecessor Kyujutsu, Kyudo is ''very'' ritualized and the motions are more important than actually hitting the target, but said motions have been developed in such a way that if done perfectly you ''always'' hit the target. Considering her memory skills and intelligence, Kaguya is well capable of repeating the same motions (or even make variations for specific situations, like when she shot a flaming arrow to lit a bonfire), even when it's clear that, with how much strength any kind of archery requires, she had to train hard and try repeatedly before achieving that perfect shot - though it's possible that she achieved it much earlier than expected.

* In the StealthSequel ''Manga/OshiNoKo'' is remarked that idols are liars that pretend to be pure and happy for their fans' sake, with Ai, the very face of the series, even claiming that her lies are how she shows love. [[spoiler:Osagari]] is a former child idol, is subtly lying the entire time, and the way she shows her love for [[spoiler:Ishigami]] is by lying and manipulating to keep [[spoiler:Kazeno]] out of the way.

* In chapter 117 bonus, Miko is revealed to have less than half muscle potential of any other Student Council member. So how comes Ishigami never gets the upper hand during their many quarrels? He never did hit Miko as strong as he could, and never will.
* Of course Dr. Tanuma of all people would be the one to check on Shirogane when he's hospitalized in Chapter 147. Aside from being the Shinomiya's private doctor, he treated Kaguya in Chapter 79 where he was also shown the picture of her crush, Shirogane from her phone when the girl try to deny her feelings for Shirogane. As soon as Shirogane was admitted to the hospital, its not that hard for him to put two and two together, eventually using his authority in the hospital to personally treat said patient.

* In Chapter 188, Fujiwara is called out by Ishigami that she never does anything for him. Fujiwara actually ''did'' something big for Ishigami, by helping investigate and figure out the truth about Ishigami and Ogino, but she doesn't say anything, as Iino is present and she was sworn into secrecy. Fujiwara is a well-known SecretKeeper, as this was the major reason why she was able to become friends with Kaguya.

* Shirogane attracting strange and crazy girls might seem like a one-time gag, but it does ring true later on. Moeha might seem friendly, but many consider her a bit psychopathy with her fantasy of Kei. Not to mention Kaguya, who might seem normal, has bad cases of mood swings and yandere thoughts.

* Why was Kaguya so gung-ho about Iino forgiving Osaragi despite sabotaging her throughout the years? Because she faced a similar situation with Hayasaka but came to forgive her when the latter explained why. Kaguya figured Osaragi did something similar and didn't want Iino and Osaragi's friendship to end without explaining what's her motivate.
