Asking my nigga Renta Tsuji whether he's a fan of Ooarai is the same as asking a Carnivore Whether he eats vegetable instead of meat.

Coming from the GuP Kindergarten fan comic it's pretty jarring to be reminded Renta is an antagonist.

So, I guess this story is poking fun at how the audience already knows who's going to win?

It's a joke about how long the battle against Chihatan lasted (Marie apparently does fall asleep in Part 3, but that might just be Marie being Marie).
