Cultural References[]

  • Chiyo makes a wish when she crosses the street, but we do not know what she wished for.

Memorable Moments[]

  • Kagura, Tomo and Osaka are referred to as knuckleheads for the first time.
  • Sakaki comes up with the brilliant idea of photographing cats instead of trying to pet them, but not even this works – the cats jump away, and Sakaki's photos of Kamineko are just one big blur. Nevertheless, Sakaki keeps them.
  • When the teachers meet a foreigner, Yukari hides just to watch Nyamo make a fool of herself, and then talks with the foreigner about how stupid gym teachers are.
  • Here, we find out that Tadakichi-san is a Great Pyrenees, a French dog.
  • Yukari gets very envious when Nyamo gets a birthday present from her class, while her own class forgets about her birthday.

Ooh, talkin' with the eyes, huh? Aww, I can't talk French.
