* Elsie's introduction of herself as Keima's sister was at school, also conveniently being enrolled in the same class, but at that point, she has yet to meet Keima's mother, so how did she get enrolled? [[spoiler:Nikaido-sensei, under chief Dokuro's orders, arranged things for her.]]
* Diana can communicate with Tenri via telepathy, and also with others through Tenri's reflection via reflective surface, and lastly, by taking full control of Tenri's body. So how in the RealLife physics can Diana emit sound from reflective surfaces? Answer: She uses those as surface vibration speakers

** The anime gives a subtle hint to Chihiro's possible romantic interest in Keima well before her capture. More specifically in episode two of season one; as Keima contemplates how many runaway spirits he has to capture, the camera moves until Chihiro is seen. Note that she was looking at Keima (at 12:09) before Elsie got her attention.
* Keima constantly refers to reality as "a shitty game," not worth playing. However, we've ''seen'' his reaction to a shitty game--play it anyway, for the sake of the girls. His slow CharacterDevelopment and feelings for the capture targets makes a lot more sense from that perspective.

*** It's possible that it's not quite that easy. Haqua mentions that "love" is rarely used to chase off the runaway spirits both because it's easy to mess up and make the spirit stronger, and because very often it's not fixing the crack in the host's soul so much as putting a patch over it. Falling in love wouldn't outright fix Ayumi's performance and anxiety issues, Kanon's fear of becoming invisible or Shiori's shyness, and the girls may very well be able to overcome it in time (though with the spirits inside them, it's very, very unlikely). Keima's approach is so successful because he targets their issues as well (telling Kanon that she isn't invisible because there's so many people who were moved by her light, or telling Mio that her father would be proud of her and accepting the situation doesn't mean disrespecting his memory and so on). Even if falling in love would push the spirit out, it doesn't mean that at the first serious argument the crack won't be back and bigger than before, ready for the spirit to nest in. Then again, it's completely possible that the rebirth plan is just a convenient lie fed to the grunts and that the danger really is the spirit becoming too strong.
