2. What does Noriko call Nanahara, that she later apologizes for?

Answer: Shuya

Noriko apologizes for calling Nanahara by his first name "Shuya," a custom typically reserved for close friends in Japan.

It doesn't come across in most of the subtitles, but the girl on the instructional video names their school right at the start of the video.

5. How did Kiriyama take the machine gun from Sasagawa to kill him and the rest of Numai's gang?

Answer: He distracted Sasagawa by spitting his chewing gum at him.
