> Does he have to be better than his big sister at everything? Is he
> Kenshi***? That bastard!

What does Tomoko mean by "Is he Kenshi***?"


Found it thanks to this: [What are these three references from episode

The [Big Dipper](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dipper) asterism in the
background is a reference to the seven scars on his chest that look like it
(where as the Big Dipper is also directly above the North Star in the sky):
