High School! Kimengumi (2026) Episode 5: Don Harumage the Nemesis Approaches! / Let's Play Somewhere in the Universe

The Sports Day episode! 🏃‍♂️💨 Seeing the Kimengumi try to run a relay race while maintaining their "perfectly weird" formation was a work of art. My sides actually hurt from laughing! 🥇

The episode has the most acceptable sense so far. With Rei's backstory and his competitiveness against his childhood classmate, this episode includes a common topic that made it likeable in the sense that it is easy to absorb. Pokemon vibes were present, too.

A SUPPER FUNNY episode, my most favourite in this series so far. Probably the most cohesive and easy to follow episode so far too, though still very random and a bit wacky in the animation, it's still a favourite

Honestly, I think the show is... not terrible, I like silly comedies even if they are not laugh out loud funny. Not a bad episode though this one.

This episode adds surprising backstory depth. While still comedic, it introduces a recurring rival dynamic. The problem is tonal whiplash, serious rivalry undertones clash with slapstick pacing. Still, the world building expands here in an interesting way

So who’s gonna be the Don to my Rei? The rivalry energy is insane and I love it. They’re literally born enemies. Peak dramatic nonsense.

Rei’s house is exactly what I expected and somehow worse. The childhood rivalry being that intense since birth?? That is NOT normal LOL and then the sudden neighbor situation??? Why is everything in this anime turned up to 200%

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at the season's midpoint approach, Episode 5 pivots from Episode 4's time-travel shenanigans to introduce Don Harumage as Rei's childhood rival, expanding the cast and adding a fresh comedic foil. This marks a transition point in the season, shifting focus toward rivalry and friendship dynamics that are poised to develop across the back half. It builds on the group's established chemistry while planting seeds for new conflicts and character development in the episodes ahead.
