Kimi to Idol Precure Episode 9 Review: The Seven Wonders of Nana!

A Whimsical Dive into Nana’s Chaos

Episode 9 of Kimi to Idol Precure, titled The Seven Wonders of Nana!, takes a delightful detour from the usual idol battles and sparkle-saving missions to focus on one of the show’s most intriguing characters: Nana. If you’ve been waiting for a Nana-centric episode, this one delivers in spades—with a mix of humor, heart, and just the right amount of absurdity that only Precure can pull off.

The Plot Unfolds

On their way home from school, Nana starts acting… well, weird. From speaking in cryptic phrases to suddenly busting out questionable dance moves, Uta and Kokoro are left scratching their heads. Their solution? To document the “Seven Wonders of Nana,” a playful nod to classic Japanese ghost stories—except here, the “mysteries” are just Nana being her wonderfully chaotic self.

As it turns out, Nana’s odd behavior stems from a heartfelt conversation with her mom, who encourages her to explore life beyond her piano practice. This revelation is both touching and relatable, especially for anyone who’s ever felt boxed in by expectations.

Fan Reactions: A Mix of Laughs and Feels

The episode has sparked some hilarious and heartwarming discussions among fans. Here’s what stood out:

1. Nana’s Chuunibyou Moment
   One fan hilariously pointed out that Nana’s dramatic declaration of a “super secret plan” and her over-the-top special attacks were peak chuunibyou energy. And honestly? It worked. Watching her go full gamer-strategy mode while Uta and Kokoro tried (and failed) to keep up was comedy gold.

2. The Power of Communication (Or Lack Thereof)
   Some fans couldn’t help but laugh at how easily the whole mess could’ve been avoided if Nana had just talked to her friends. But hey, where’s the fun in that? As one commenter put it: “If Nana had just told them about her mom’s advice, we wouldn’t have gotten this glorious mess of an episode.”

3. Nana’s Growth
   Many fans loved how this episode highlighted Nana’s growth. Instead of being the reserved piano prodigy, she’s finally stepping out of her comfort zone—whether it’s rapping (yes, rapping), dancing, or just embracing her silly side. One fan even joked: “Nana rap album when?”

4. The Villains’ Odd Obsession
   The Chokkiri Gang, usually busy stealing sparkles, took a backseat this episode—except to casually spectate Cure Idol’s performance. Fans found this oddly charming, with one noting: “The bad guys seem more interested in watching the show than causing trouble.”

Why This Episode Works

What makes The Seven Wonders of Nana! stand out is its balance of humor and heart. The episode doesn’t just rely on gags; it uses Nana’s antics to explore deeper themes of self-discovery and the pressure of perfection. The beach scene, where Nana draws in the sand and thanks Purirun, is a quiet yet powerful moment that reminds us why Precure resonates with so many.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for an episode that’s equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, Episode 9 delivers. It’s a testament to Kimi to Idol Precure’s ability to blend slice-of-life charm with its magical girl formula. And let’s be real—any episode that gives us Nana rapping is an instant classic.

Rating: 8.5/10 – A fun, chaotic, and surprisingly deep installment that proves Precure isn’t just about flashy transformations—it’s about the little moments that make friendship (and idol life) so special.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be patiently waiting for that Nana rap album.
