The Cutie: Nako Yabuki deliberately chose "cute" girls for her team, since she wanted to have a team of cute people.

All or Nothing: Sakura Miyawaki has stated that if she doesn't get selected, then the upcoming AKB48 election (which is a yearly popularity contest) will be her last, though whether she is choosing to leave the group isn't made clear. Takeuchi Miyu eventually announced her graduation from AKB48 shortly after the finals where she failed to make it to the final group, indicating that this show was indeed an all-or-nothing situation for her

I Just Want to Be Badass
 Produce48 / int_330cfa9a
comment
I Just Want to Be Badass: Sakura Miyawaki mentioned several times that she admires "girl crush" concepts and wants to try them out from time to time. In the song evaluation, she wanted to perform "Peek-A-Boo", and for the position evaluation, she chose "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du". In her audition tape, she performed "Boombayah", ironically. Hilariously, she still has a long way to go to portray it perfectly...

Not a Game: Natsumi Matsuoka suggested deciding the center for their team by Rock–Paper–Scissors (to be fair, this is actually practiced by AKB48 Group in one of their annual major events). Lee Sian did not take to this kindly.

Curb-Stomp Battle: "Love Whisper" Team 2 were seemingly getting wrecked by Team 1, until Nako came in and destroyed the rest of the competition with 330 votes. That's 3x more than the next highest, and 40% of the total votes.

When She Smiles: Aramaki Misaki was criticized by the trainers for not smiling during the grade evaluations, even though that is her default expression. When she smiled while performing "Love Whisper" the trainers immediately went crazy with joy.

Stern Teacher
 Produce48 / int_77d826c7
comment
Stern Teacher: Bae Yoon-jeong has a reputation for this, and the Japanese contestants single her out as the single scariest teacher of them all. She does, however, genuinely compliment trainees when they do well, and says several times she hopes to see the Japanese girls grow and improve as dancers, admitting that the only thing she doesn't like is how rarely anyone took the time to actually train them. As the show goes on, they move up in their own right, and she makes it clear that it's not their skills that she thought were bad, just their experience levels when compared to the well-trained Korean trainees – a gap which is quickly narrowing as they all get formal classes and performances.

comment
Broken Pedestal: Happens a lot given the precarious nature of the rankings. Most notably, it happens when Jurina Matsui – by far the best and most popular of the Japanese trainees – is given only a B rather than the A ranking most of them were expecting, and again when the F class sees Jo Yuri walk in, still wearing her bright pink Class A sweater. One of them even comments that the A class girls are like role models and mentors for them, so seeing one of them get demoted to F was extremely heartbreaking and demoralizing.

Cherry Blossom Girl: Sakura Miyawaki is often depicted in pink, especially with the show's thematic color being pink, despite her name written in different characters (咲良). Her position evaluation outfit was the only one that was in pink, and her concept evaluation not only has her in pink as well, but also with cherry blossoms in the backdrop.

Bait-and-Switch: While learning the reevaluation results, we're shown a confessional by Erii Chiba once we learn an F ranked trainee went up to C. In it, she says she hopes to make it to rank C, since she was reasonably confident in her dancing skills... Only for it to turn out that Moe Goto was the one to move to C, and just to rub salt in the wound, we see a clip of poor Erii floundering her reevaluation much to the chagrin of the trainers. On the other end of the spectrum, it was revealed that one A class trainee has dropped to F class, a first in the series. The show spent plenty of the buildup focusing on Yoo Minyoung, who admittedly didn't perform very well, only to reveal that the trainee in question was Jo Yuri.

Pseudo-Romantic Friendship
 Produce48 / int_a058376e
comment
Pseudo-Romantic Friendship: During personal picks, Kwon Eunbi placed her marker next to Lee Sian's, saying that they'll never be apart and that she hopes they will debut together soon. When Nako Yabuki's group chose Kim Nayoung to be their leader for the song evaluation, the girls were singing when Nako was placing the the leader sticker on her uniform, followed up by Nayoung pretending to kiss her and them hugging each other. Afterwards, Nayoung and Nako whisper, "I love you!" to each other in both Japanese and Korean respectively, where Nayoung's choice in words depicts the kind of expression that only people who really love each other would use in Japanese. note Most Japanese don't really use "aishiteru" to express love to each other, opting for the more modest "suki." The whole thing plays off as a wedding, really. Nako has also stated she hoped Nayoung would debut with her so that their Portmanteau Couple Name would be the "NaNa couple." Sakura Miyawaki is very close to Lee Chaeyeon, and she was seen drawing couple rings on each other's ring fingers. When Sakura earned second place in the final evaluation, she dedicated her victory speech to Chaeyeon and proclaimed out loud that she wanted to debut with her. She was noticeably crying so hard she collapsed when Chaeyeon had been announced as the final winner for their debut line-up.

Deliberate Values Dissonance
 Produce48 / int_aabe2fb
comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Japanese idol groups, especially the 48 Group, are typically full of girls with a Naïve Everygirl or Girl Next Door image, where they debut with unpolished skills so that their fan base can enjoy their underdog story of growing and gaining more experience as an entertainer. South Korean idol groups, on the other hand, go through years of grueling training and are expected to be perfect from the moment they debut. As seen in the preview for episode 1, the Japanese contestants are clearly shocked at the difference in level they have compared to the Korean contestants.
