References to previous arcs

When Shion blames Oyashiro for the continued suffering of the Houjou family, Rika is visibly upset. This is due to Rika's companionship with Hanyuu, the true form of Oyashiro.
Rika claims Keiichi taught her how easily fate can be changed. When Keiichi asks when this happened, Rika replies "it's a secret".
