* In a video, Furaya says his hatred [[spoiler:for anime]] is larger than [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Yoko]]'s breasts or the black goo at the end of ''Anime/ParanoiaAgent'' and harder to cover up than the plot holes in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''.
* While Furaya is watching said video, the guy he's coaching in golf assumes he's a stern coach like Ukai from ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}''.
