Ouma speaks for everyone when he says that Tsumugi is a ‘niche’ otaku. Nobody else knows what she’s going on about when she brings these things up. Which is funny, if these are references to popular anime/games; it’s one thing if the cast groaned at the references from the resident otaku, but not even a single one recognises her references other than Ouma, and Monokuma?

What’s more, Tsumugi makes a Fullmetal Alchemist reference at Kaede no less than twice. The first time she had no idea what she was talking about, the second time she appeared to completely miss it.

Is this also why [the Yugioh reference went plain over Shuichi’s head]? And why Ouma talks about the organisation [using references to manga]?
