Onii-chan is pretty dang perceptive, I'm sure he wouldn't be all that surprised to learn that his little sister is actually an old woman...

You forgot to mention that she still failed at that, as the second row should be ka ki ku ke ko But she pronounced it ka hi hu ke ko

Training her muscles needed for speaking. It is kind of funny as I have thought a lot about what brings about a language its accent and why people have trouble speaking or pronouncing things. While they are a skill, they are a way of life kind of like how cowboys ended up walking bow legged which is their physical accent because riding horses is what they did most per se. Same thing could be said about those who did ice skating of some form or another end up with tight calves (or they used to) which lead to them walking almost on their toes. Probably one of the guiding principals of evolution

This chapter would be so impressive if we didn't know the truth about Hinata.

I love how he just accepts his lil sis is a genius and just helps her from the back when she needs any.

For those that didn't read the credit page:
A I U E O is the Japanese equivalent to the ABC (alphabet)

For those that read the credit page:
After あ い う え お (A I U E O) comes か き く け こ (Ka Ki Ku Ke Ko).

You'll notice that Hinata messed up a bit, notably き -> ひ (Ki -> Hi) and く -> ふ (Ku -> Fu)
Also, she used コ (Ko in Katakana) instead of こ (Ko in Hiragana).

Nowadays, Katakana is used:
[ul][*] for foreign words (e.g. コーヒー -> Kōhii = coffee)
[*] for sounds not made by humans (the barking of a dog, or the sound of an explosion)
[*] for emphasis
[*] to show that a character heard a word properly, but doesn't understand the meaning ("What's a 'biifstek' (beefsteak)?")
Note that if the word is foreign, they will use Hiragana instead ("What's a 'run day view' (rendezvous)?")
[*] when the character has a foreign accent[/ul]
This implies that while Hinata perfectly knows her ABC, she still has some difficulty with pronunciation.
That explains why she's reciting the ABC in the first place. It's not that she's re-learning Japanese, she's practicing speech.
