milk coffee

(R: I had to inquire as I drink neither milk nor coffee but it seems this beverage is "a pre-made, very sweet, canned or bottled coffee with gouts of caffeine.")

Oitekebori spirit

(R: a reference to an old Japanese ghost story about a man who catches a fish in a canal and a disembodied voice tells him to "leave it~" so he drops it and runs away as fast as he can. You can read about it in the Kwaidan I think)

Youko

(E: See my notes on Nothing Special Just Another Day for the details of how Youko knows this.)

(I think, what she means is read of vol 18 the chapters Ah, Misunderstanding and Dramatics) --Darklor 08:27, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

(E: A split bamboo sword used for Kendo practice)

(R: as near as I can understand this is the lowest ranked member of a Kendo Dojo, see below's match?)

(R: rank translations borrowed from: http://doanimation.wordpress.com/2007/10/06/bamboo-blade-kendo-terminology/ since wikipedia sucks)
