I wonder what the animator used for reference. I just noticed Alicia pulled the trigger with her middle finger from the second shot onward.
Its the “Mad Minute.” It's a style of bolt cycling that the British army trained to do before WW1. You hold the bolt between your thumb and index finger and pull the trigger with your middle finger (as observed). It helps fire the rifle faster since you can only shoot a bolt-action so fast normally.

Cool technique. Cooler detail, love it.
I saw a similar rapid drill for how to hold ammo for even when they just had the single shot Martini-Henry Rifles. It is cool.

I can’t help but wonder if the artist knows that “merci” does not mean “mercy”
It actually can mean that, though it is a bit archaic. the word is rarely used that way on its own nowadays ("pitié" would be more common), but the expression "sans merci" to mean "merciless" still crop up when trying to sound fancy.
Grunge is usually just watching on the sideline or being the reasonable one reacting to emo's shenanigans. Her just making a point that she can get girls instantly if she unleash her power is quite a flex.
Now i imagine that the events of Yo-kai Watch Shadowside would had happened around the same time as the near future of the Touhou Project series. (meaning that the Youkai Detective Agency could meet the Neo Secret Sealing Club.)
A fair number of educated Filipinos are the kind to live in main cities/upper-class enough to go abroad and enjoy the spoils of English-language media to the point where the typical conversation is a mix with a lot of slang/colloquialisms derived from English words. And there's a certain idea of intelligence associated with knowing English. This effect is multiplied hundredfold to the types you'd usually find in English online spaces. But those living in the provinces and such usually don't have the luxury or any reason to do so, and are perfectly fluent in native languages. Just my view though.

My parents are an older generation, but owing between being Visaya and living in the US for several decades, they will weave in and out between Cebuano, English, Spanish, and Tagalog, often within a single sentence (already owing to the number of Spanish loanwords in Filipino dialects too). With even more English ubiquity and online interaction, I can totally imagine growing up with a lot less of handle on Tagalog or home dialects than English.
Might help to indicate this is the true ending... A bit abrupt...
pixiv's description says that "I'd love to publish a book of Jacketko & Labelko someday, but there seems to be no demand for it, so I'm going to put it up on pixiv." for me, it is an unfinished work
