Trivia

 * Tachibana hiding herself with a wrestling mask and Mei's comment on it being "The Destroyer" is a reference to Dick Beyer, a very well-respected and famous professional wrestler in Japan
 * Gina performing her warm-up dance, dojo sukui, is a traditional folk dance in Japan. Meaning "loach-scooping" it's very similar to the cossack dance Gina is known for.
 * Gina's cosplay name "Russia-tei Xорошо" is both a play on 亭 suffix associated with some stage performers and the song by Moldovan group O-ZONE Dragostea Din Tei which became a internet viral sensation known as The Numa Numa Song.
 * When Gina mentions a "famous soccer player named Xорошо," Mei mistakes that name as "Xорошоn."
 * The pronunciation of Xорошо in Japanese is harasho, so Mei's mistaken Xорошоn of harashon sounds similar to Swedish soccer player Henrik Larsson.
