Sun Mar 23 23:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Hidden Easter Eggs Connect TBS Dramas in “Mr. Gijo’s” Finale
**Tokyo, Japan –** The finale of TBS’s Sunday drama “Mr. Gijo” (御上先生), aired on September 23rd, featured cleverly hidden references to two other dramas currently airing on the same network, delighting viewers and sparking online buzz.
The episode, which depicted the graduation of Mr. Gijo’s students and his final battle against corrupt educational practices, included a newspaper article detailing the exposure of a fraudulent admission scheme at Rintoku Academy. Next to the headline “Rintoku Academy: Backdoor Admissions Exposed,” a smaller article reported a peacock sighting, stating that a medical professional, Madoka (26), was the first to discover the bird.
This seemingly innocuous article is a subtle nod to two other TBS dramas: “Who Saw the Peacock Dance?” (クジャクのダンス、誰が見た？), starring Suzu Hirose, and “Madoka, 26, is a Resident Doctor!” (まどか26歳、研修医やってます！), starring Kyoko Yoshine. The peacock article directly references the former, while the mention of a 26-year-old medical professional, Madoka, is a clear link to the latter.
Director Yohei Miyazaki confirmed the Easter eggs on X (formerly Twitter), praising viewers for their sharp observation skills. Fans have celebrated the intricate cross-promotion, calling it a “subtle but exciting collaboration.” The finale of “Who Saw the Peacock Dance?” aired on September 28th.
