How Far Does the Dream Twist Go? Heroine's Confession Loop Development Gets Called "A Very Kimengumi-Like Gag" in "High School! Kimengumi" Episode 9

Episode 9 of the anime "High School! Kimengumi" has been airing sequentially since March 6th. A scene where Yui Kawa (CV: Haruka Shiraishi) repeatedly receives a confession from Rei Ichidō (CV: Tomokazu Seki) in her dreams became a hot topic online, with comments like "In a way, it's a very Kimengumi-like gag" and "I was pretty excited wondering how long it would continue."

In Episode 9, "Sleepyhead Jin-kun / Your Home Cooking...," Yui was called behind the school building by Rei, who said "I really wanted to be alone with you." In a somewhat romantic mood, just as Rei began saying with a blushing face, "Actually, I have a favor to ask you," "Actually, Yui-kun, your... your...!", Yui woke up from her dream.

When Yui arrived at school, she was once again called behind the school building by Rei, who said "I have something important to talk about." When Yui came behind the school building and saw Rei standing there, she thought to herself "It's becoming more and more the same development!" and her heart was pounding. Then Rei said to her, "Actually, Yui-kun, I want you to... I want you to cook for me!" "I want to eat your home cooking! I want to build a warm family together with you!" Was she being proposed to!?... At that point, she woke up again, and Yui was confused, thinking "Was that also a dream?"

When it comes to "Kimengumi," the original work's ending, which can be interpreted as a "dream twist," has become legendary among fans. That's precisely why the latest episode's "confession loop" also attracted attention with comments like "In a way, it's a very Kimengumi-like gag," "What's with this infinite dream loop-like development," and "I was pretty excited wondering how long it would continue."
