In S01E10 [Legend of Fate Day
2](https://5hanayome.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_10), part of the [School Camping
Trip Arc](https://5hanayome.fandom.com/wiki/School_Camping_Trip_Arc), Fuutarou
pretends to be h relative 'Kintarou' from the photo of [Fuutarou and the
girl](https://5hanayome.fandom.com/wiki/Nakano_\(Child\)) out of fear that
Nino would blackmail h with the photo otherwise.

Based on S01E08, we know Fuutarou is indeed afraid of the leakage of the photo
or at least that Nino would see it:

> Nino: Is there something you're hiding in here?
>
> Fuutarou: There's no telling what she'll say if she sees my old photo.

Nino saw it anyway. But then based on Nino's reaction, Nino has not seen the
photo prior (unless Nino is somehow an extremely good liar). Also, Nino has
not kept any copies of the photo (well, it's possible, but Fuutarou doesn't
think anything like this). Nevertheless, Fuutarou is afraid that e could be
blackmailed by Nino because of the photo.

> Fuutarou: But she might be able to blackmail me with it.

How could Nino blackmail Fuutarou with the photo without possessing it or any copies of it?


Presumably, Futaro isn't proud of his younger "yankee" days compared to his
current image. So he's afraid that Nino could see through the Kintarou ruse
and use the photo to ruin his social standing/reputation at school. The
"embarrassing photo" blackmail is a pretty common trope in anime/manga.
