comment
Face Fault: Kevin thinks he has won a contest when he reads "あたり" as "winner" on the label of a bottle of the popular Japanese soft drink Ramune. However, "あたり" can also mean "per" depending on the context. When Satoko reads the bottle herself, she instantly realizes that Kevin made a mistake as the sentence he was reading just states that there are 80 kcal per bottle, and collapses to the ground at the "D'oh" moment.

Culture Clash
 Satoko and Nada (Webcomic) / int_70ade2c4
comment
Culture Clash: One time when walking in on Nada's prayer, Satoko got confused if she should cover up too and ended up tangling herself in a blanket. Satoko's attempt to hold a surprise birthday party for Nada initially falls flat because Saudi culture doesn't typically celebrate birthdays. However, Nada decides to try it as an American thing, and later assembles a surprise party for Satoko's birthday. Satoko isn't familiar with waving to signal American buses to stop, thinking that when they passed her they were just being mean. Nada thinks her friends are being frustratingly casual when they refer to going on "pilgrimages" for small vacations. When Miracle starts making sushi, Satoko assumes it'll be just like Japanese-style but gets annoyed when it deviates into California-style. She grudgingly admits that it tastes good. When asking Miracle about American schools, Satoko asks if "brown hair" (meaning dyed hair) is banned, which confuses Miracle because Americans have so many hair colors. When Satoko is asked about her religious beliefs, she replies that she doesn't have a particular religion. She means it more as in that she's a polytheist, but her friends misunderstand and begin apologizing and assuring Satoko they love her for more than just what religion she is. When she explains that it's more that she believes in a bit of every religion, both Nada (Muslim) and Miracle (Christian) find this polytheism odd. At their first fraternity party, both Satoko and Nada are shocked to see weed there, since it's illegal in Saudi Arabia and Japan. Satoko doesn't get why Nada finds it remarkable that American bookstores are open before 4pm, until she learns that many stores in Saudi Arabia don't open until the evening because of the midday heat. Satoko finds American flags everywhere in the States unusual, remarking that someone wearing a Japanese flag back at home is often viewed as a delinquent. When Satoko wears a face mask during cold season, which is more common in Japan than in America, Miracle thinks Satoko is dying and panics.

Hypocritical Humor: Right after Nada emphasizes how it's important to not judge others by their manner or lack of veil and how they dress, she begins harshly criticizing Satoko's outfit. When Satoko brings Nada news of an upcoming party, Nada claims to not be interested, as she's simultaneously getting herself made up and dressed for it.

Irony: When shopping for clothes, Nada notes that she tends to have more freedom in what she'll wear beneath her veil since few will see it, while Satoko doesn't have to wear a veil and thus often limits herself in what she'll be seen wearing in public. Kevin is Japanese-American and is studying to teach English in Japan, but notes that white Americans tend to be hired for those jobs over him because they "look more fluent" in English.

Shout-Out: Satoko's friend Kevin is a fan of One-Punch Man and Transformers. One pose by Nada references "Salt Bae". Nada pitches a "new angle" for the comic in which she and Satoko are Sailor Scouts. When seeing Nada going through a corn maze, Satoko quotes the prophecy from Nausicaä: "clothed in blue robes, descending onto a golden field..."

comment
Innocently Insensitive: Satoko compliments Nada's chador and asks if she could get one of her own for comfort instead of snuggling into Nada's from time to time. Nada takes it as a claim that Satoko doesn't value her snuggling anymore. Satoko is initially alarmed by Americans complimenting her outfits in public, but she gets used to it and tries it nervously herself. After teaching Satoko "mashallah", Nada gets unhappy when Satoko doesn't say it when Nada prompts her for compliments. The next time Satoko tries, she completely butchers the pronunciation. When Nada practices Japanese numbers, she mispronounces "ichi" (one) as "wicchi", which Satoko thinks is so cute that she doesn't correct her. Nada then proceeds to embarrass herself at the Asian grocery store, and gets very upset when she finds out why.
