Referbacks

 * Saten mentions a couple of rumors, that have been confirmed to exist, about the Imaginary Number District, the first: the City of Shimmers, and the second is Kazakiri Hyouka, the transfer student who turned out to be a "ghost'.
 * Junko's near-kisses with other female characters from Chapter 1 and Chapter 3 are referenced.
 * As the Indian Poker merchant is still able to sell Indian Poker cards, this chapter takes place before Chapter 77 of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun wherein Misaka Mikoto and Kinuhata Saiai bought of all his cards to get the Bust Upper. Moreover, the fact that Junko has yet to try out an Indian Poker card herself implies that this chapter occurs before Chapter 71 of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, where Junko gives Misaka Mikoto an Indian Poker card to try out.
