Provides examples of:
- Death by Origin Story: Susan's parents were killed by a drunk driver 10 years prior to the story...
- Insult Backfire: Happens to Takeshi when he tries to insult Hiroshi in a joking manner. Eiji gets a good laugh out of this!
- Meaningful Name: Fukuzawa High gets its name from Fukuzawa Yukichi, a prominent figure in Japanese history who was responsible for Westernizing Japan right down to democratic principles
