Re:Mind is a 2018 television show, co-produced by TV Tokyo and Netflix and starring the entire original lineup of J-Pop Idol group Hiragana Keyakizaka46 (now Hinatazaka46).Eleven high school girls wake up in a mysterious room around a dining table, with their feet locked beneath the floor. Realising that they are all from the same class and were kidnapped the day before graduating. Using various clues around the room, they must remember the ways in which they hurt one another if they are to escape with their lives.For consistency, this page uses Japanese name order convention where applicable.

All There in the Manual
 Re:Mind / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: The drama was originally targeted towards Hiragana Keyakizaka46 fans, hence there is no proper introduction for the girls in the beginning since the viewers is expected to already know them. Subverted after it's revealed that the characters go by their actresses' real names, which are displayed in the opening credits. Most of the information that was left out in the drama, such as the identity of Miho and Kumi's best friend, and the fact that they are on a boat were explained by the girls themselves in blogs and interview.

Secret Relationship
 Re:Mind / int_2bf993ad
comment
Secret Relationship: The show has plenty, that all come to light as the episodes go on. Kyoko and Ayaka have been dating for a while but kept it quiet from everyone. Miho eventually found them kissing and threatened to tell everyone, leading to them bullying her. Shiho and Okazaki dated briefly in secret after he broke up with Miho. In the final flashback episode, the main group scramble to find which one of them mistakenly posted her dating plan on their group Twitter account, since aside from Miho they're not supposed to have boyfriends. It was not actually one of them, but their classmate, Kosaka Nao, who got hold of the password by chance and mistakenly posted her plans on their account, but apparently doesn't immediately delete it For the Lulz.

Ambiguous Ending
 Re:Mind / int_42215dce
comment
Ambiguous Ending: It's not really clear what happens in the end at all, so the audience is left to speculate. Kage realises Miho is alive after all, while Kumi is still trapped in her chair. A ray of light shines from the ceiling followed by rumbling and the screen goes black. Did they sink? What kind of building were they in that it sunk? Was the light from a rescue team? What happened to the other girls (who Kage confirmed were still alive)? Kyoko's actress indicated in her blog that the ending is actually open to the viewer's interpretation, and it is up to them to choose the ending that they prefer, whether all of them died or survives to attend their graduation ceremony. Her own is that they all survived the ship and graduated.

Foreshadowing: Kage often notices the symbolisms first, because she put them where they are. She disappears without confessing anything and there's a sound of a door opening and shutting from her walking out by herself. When the others are confessing in the penultimate episode, she doesn't have anything to say. In a flashback scene, they discuss the meaning of "rewind" while studying English. "Re:Wind" is the title of the final episode, which is a Whole Episode Flashback (i.e., "rewinding" the story).

Final Girl: Zigzagged. There is, speaking strictly literally, a "final girl" at the table — it's Kumi — and her confrontation with the series' unmasked Big Bad does have some of the hallmarks of the trope. But there's no indication that she alone survived the events of the series in order to tell the tale — let alone that she, nor anyone, survived at all.
