** The writers intended to bring back Momoka after killing her off in Episode 13, but her voice actress Narusasu moved to Japan shortly after the episode went up. As a result, they simply left her dead.
*** WaferThinMint: On the subject of Momoka, she had several voice actors (and people contacted about voicing her that never made it in) before her first appearance in Episode 2R (and she was given another voice actor when she finally reappeared in Episode 10). The constant trouble the team had getting her a voice is the reason they didn't simply look for a new VA after Episode 13, effectively being the final straw that broke her character's existence.

He and Yoshi barely planned for the climax prior to scriptwriting, and Episode 10 in fact had the most planning of any episode up to that point.
