The humor primarily comes from the contrast between the real Hiyori’s desire for normalcy and the absolute wreck Yato makes of her reputation.

The episode reaches its peak during a soccer match. Yato, still in Hiyori's body, dominates the field with superhuman moves. However, the situation escalates when Kofuku and Daikoku show up at the school. As the Goddess of Poverty, Kofuku's presence naturally brings misfortune, leading to a series of bizarre accidents, including the soccer team being swarmed by a giant beetle.

Despite his antics, Yato avoids doing anything truly inappropriate while in Hiyori's body, maintaining a certain level of respect for her even while ruining her social standing.

"Hiyori" introduces herself to her new classmates with Yato's trademark cocky attitude, instantly confusing everyone and ruining her "refined" image.

The episode ends with Hiyori finally regaining her body, left to deal with the aftermath of being the most "interesting" girl in school for all the wrong reasons.

While inhabiting Hiyori's body, Yato's eccentric and boisterous personality takes over, causing "Hiyori" to act completely out of character. This leads to several hilarious and embarrassing scenarios:
