* The UndyingLoyalty of the Mantis Khan is ''so'' UpToEleven it's hilarious.

** Afterwards, the 97th orders Hiruzen to put her mate back where he was found. So the ninja knocks him out with a spell, transports him back to China and [[RefugeInAudacity leaves him surrounded]] [[WhatDidIDoLastNight by bottles of sake]].

** It's telling that Sanshobo's shock over [[spoiler: Hishu's birth]] is [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness serious enough]] to make him start acting and talking like a normal person. Ikazuki actually finds this more disconcerting than the event in question.

* Being in charge of the Empire's financial records is the second best job for the Sumo khan (after being the General). The "job interview" involves (among others) arm wrestling, sumo wrestling and ''drinking bucket-sized cups of wasabi''.



** Sanshobo casually commenting that the 96th wasn't nearly so picky, while the 97th is on her [[UpToEleven 4th]] round.



** The 97th is so... excited over the mate Hiruzen brings her that she blows several holes in her tower's roof. Sanshobo is very pleased with this, declaring it a good omen for the future birth of the 98th.

* The flashback sequence to the Generals bringing the 97th Queen potential human mates, and her getting increasingly frustrated by the lack of decent results.
** Jirobo apparently screwed up by bringing a scarecrow that had been magically disguised as a person. This resulted in him getting blasted in the face.
** Ozeki's candidate gets tossed out of the tower (literally). The 97th then comes down to berate Ozeki and the others, in such a rush that one of her sandals breaks off. So she throws it at Ozeki, then starts beating him on the head with the other one while yelling at him and the others. She then demands a replacement sandal and more [[TrademarkFavoriteFood eels]], and says that if Hiruzen's candidate is another let down, she'll tie the eels to the sandal and beat him with them.
** The 97th also bans the Generals from having anymore sake until they find her a worthy mate, much to Kamisori's heartbreak. He then suggests to the others that if Hiruzen's candidate doesn't work out, they should just abduct the Emperor of Japan, with some princes as a backup.

* Koeri tries to get Jade into more feminine things, like poetry. She turns out to have a talent for it, but to Koeri's horror, all the subject matter is about fighting and death.

* Jade's new kitsune slave handmaiden, Koeri, has a dignified air about her at all times... except when she sings, [[HollywoodToneDeaf which she's terrible at but oblivious to]]. Jade ultimately directly orders her to never do it again, orders that the other Shadowkhan are all too happy to enforce.

* Ikazuki has several human samurai who sold out to the Shadowkhan [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves rewarded as they deserve]] -- including having written explanations of their treachery carved into their flesh -- much to the aggravation of Jirobo, who wants to build up a network of collaborators.
-->'''Jirobo''': Do you not see the flaw in this course?
-->'''Ikazuki''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Well of course I realize most humans can't read, but it's more symbolic in nature.]]
