Watching the full video before reading this is recommended if you'd like to avoid spoilers.



SPOILERS BELOW

















--[PatchuMirin]--

Meiling's first "Shounen Jump" book that she's holding actually says
"Weekly Shounen Shampoo" on the cover.



--[Oki☆Sha☆]--

Fortune Teller: "I hear they crowned a new emperor."
2019, the year that this video was released, was the year that Japan's Heisei era ended and
the Reiwa era began.



--[Hifuudou]--

Rinnosuke: "Shion became the CEO of Nikomart."
Nikomart was a convenience store that is now closed down. The line doesn't originally mention Shion
and was tweaked in the subtitles to convey "Nikomart = Not doing well".

Rinnosuke: "The cheese puffs! ... Rice Krispies!"
The original two products mentioned here are Curl, a brand of cheese puffs, and Happy Turn, a brand
of distinctly sweet rice crackers that people often like as kids and consider nostalgic as adults.
