<p>At 01:53 of episode 4 of Kyoukai no Kanata: Mini Theater special, after Hiroomi said that Mitsuki was his only idol, this conversation happened (transcribed to the best of my ability):</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>Kanbara:</strong> おい、博臣{ひろおみ}、そろそろやめとけよ。美月{みつき}がＭＫ[５]｛ご｝だぞ。</p>
  
  <p><strong>Kuriyama:</strong> メガ盛｛も｝り 金平ごぼう、　ですか？</p>
  
  <p><strong>Kanbara:</strong> そっ、それ、マジ？</p>
</blockquote>

<p>If my guesses are right, Kuriyama mistook MK5 (emu-kei-go) as abbreviation for <b>M</b>egamori (large serving) <b>K</b>inpira<sup>1</sup> <b>Go</b>bou<sup>2</sup>, which is a Japanese dish.</p>

<p>My question is about "MK5" in Kanbara's line. While the line can be generally understood as Mitsuki was getting pissed off at Hiroomi, I don't get what Kanbara is making a reference of by saying "MK5". Any idea?</p>
