*** After a series of (temporary) HeroicSacrifices, each followed by [[SayMyName everyone else shouting their name melodramatically]], Naoi sacrifices himself; one [[{{Beat}} be]][[{{Pun}} at]] later...

*** After a good chunk of the party is killed on the trek to the Guild, Fujimaki says that Otonashi will be the next to go. One commerical break later, [[{{SuperDrowningSkills}} guess who's bobbing like a dead goldfish?]]
---->'''Otonashi''': Poor bastard couldn't swim.

--->"Yes. That's right. Our weakness is that we're all stupid."
--->"The leader really shouldn't be saying things like that..."

--> '''Yui:''' It's all right, for I, Yui-nyan will give you a hand!
--> '''Hinata:''' What did you just say?
--> '''Yui:''' [[{{Moe}} Yui-nyan!]]
--> '''Hinata:''' (gets her in a reverse swastika) [[BerserkButton THAT'S WHAT I HATE ABOUT YOU!!!!]]
--> '''Yui:''' I GIVEIGIVEIGIVEIGIVE!!!

---> '''Yui:''' Even death can't cure stupid!

** Kanade’s initial attempts at fishing during Operation Monster Stream. The first time, her hook snags on Hinata’s mouth, while her second try – after being instructed by Otonashi to “fling the line with all [her] might” – ends up getting Takeyama ''by the nostril'' and sends him airborne, reducing him to ATwinkleInTheSky as he utters his catchphrase.

*** The fact that, after each death, everybody screams the person's name dramatically. Hinata {{Lampshades}} it the first time:

----> '''Hinata''': Hey, someone say something...
----> '''Yui''': I don't know his name...

--->'''Kanade:''' Here.
--->'''Otonashi:''' ''(beat)'' Why are you here by yourself?
--->'''Kanade:''' Because she didn't chase me.
--->'''Otonashi:''' ''(making a face)'' ...eh?

--->'''Kanade:''' Demon... you've finally reached your limit, haven't you? The reason my hand was aching was because of this. Give me power. (something resembling an ActivationSequence) Hand Sonic!
--->'''Yuri:''' You've never done that before when using that!
--->'''Otonashi:''' It kind of hurts to hear...
--->'''Kanade:''' I'm going to seal you in the third world once more.
--->'''Otonashi:''' It really does hurt!

* In Godan Matsushita’s route, Otonashi recruits Shinna into helping Godan remember his cousin Hinako’s face by drawing a portrait of her face based on his memories of her. When asking Godan about her features, he gives basic descriptions like her having a nose, two eyes, etc, at which point Shinna asks if the person she is drawing is human. At that, Otonashi quickly abandons this idea to think of a new way to help Godan.
* Remember how Otonashi would ask Hinata if he swung that way in the anime? The visual novel gives you the option to let Otonashi turn the tables by acting interested in Hinata, not only that it even affects some of their interactions outside of dialogue choices.

** To avoid drawing attention from the [[EvilTwin evil]] [[CloningBlues Angel clones]] in the aftermath of the previous episode, Yuri instructs the SSS to act like model students in class (without paying too much actual attention to avoid becoming obliterated). What follows is a montage of shenanigans -- ranging from lower-key activities (such as listening to music and doodling) to more egregious ones (e.g., TK waving his arms; Noda spinning his halberd outside an adjacent window).

** Yuri in general is more flustered and “girlish” (as Otonashi puts it) in the episode, the resolution of her inner and outer conflicts having lightened the load off her back. Hinata calls her “kind of cute” at one point as a result, causing Yuri to [[LuminescentBlush become flush with red]] and beat up on the former while streaming a spew of {{Angrish}}. This gets a chuckle out of the ordinarily stoic [[NotSoStoic Kanade]].
