* Reo and Mabu are '''terrifying''' throughout this whole episode. The fact that they can [[MindControlDevice apparently mind control normal civilians]] with Otter technology makes victory against them less and less likely...
** In particular, Reo makes several hellish facial expressions as he [[spoiler: kills a yakuza thug and later '''Enta'''.]] The fact that he gloats over the death of [[spoiler: a middle schooler]] to the point where [[TheStoic Mabu]] comes across as more empathetic is horrifying.

* The beginning of the episode is about Mabu presumably being violated by an otter, who at first takes the form of Reo.
* Apparently, the job Chikai took, likely the same one Tooi wanted to join but wasn't allowed, fell through as Chikai got backstabbed.

Seemingly, the vaguely-mentioned [[TheEmpire empire]] Reo and Mabu are serving [[spoiler: '''genocided Keppi's people in search of more desire.''']] The fact that humanity is ''next'' is not a comforting thought...

* The fate of the Desire Zombies is revealed to the boys; they do not take it well, with Tooi in particular seeming disturbed that they've been erasing these people from existence through their actions.
* Although it's been already made clear that TheEmpire lacks empathy for their victims, the reveal that those ruled to have 'love' (rather than 'desire') are [[spoiler: literally '''ground to a pulp''' and deemed useless]] is particularly disturbing.

* In this episode, we learn that Tooi knows how to waterboard.
** The person in question is an adult man who apparently followed the Kuji brothers. Hence, his torture and interrogation.
** We also get to see Chikai for the first time, and his debut involves threatening the man, too.
* It turns out, people actually die when transformed into Kappa-Zombies. The Cat Zombie had his human body discarded in the Sumida River, which Reo and Mabu proudly confess to doing in front of many other policemen.

* Unexpectedly, keeponly1luv has some moments.
** For example, when [[KnightOfCerebus ア]] appears and red otters in heart symbols start popping up more frequently in their tweets, signalling something dark approaching.
** There's a sudden ToneShift in the end, where Reo finds a letter stamped with ア, apparently opened and read by Mabu, containing a dangerous mission that the latter chooses to take on himself. Reo is against letting him go on his own, but Mabu leaves anyway.
** Finally, there's the policemen's last tweets, with Mabu's being an ominous CallBack to his first tweet and Reo's being a cryptic message that matches the darker personality he has in the anime.
