Why is Taguchi getting slapped by Asuka? It could be the babysitter comment he made to Emi. It could be the fact he's trying to snoop on her while she's trying to sleep. Or it could be because he was one of the many who didn't vote in the election and allowed Churro to take over.
Not voting for anybody is a vote for Churro. And a vote for Churro is your name on Asuka's slap list.
Of course, I'm not sure how many people care, because nobody likes Asuka anyway.
Man, I hope those two weren't supposed to be husband and wife...
