Now that the identity of experimental subject 1 is known, I am sure that the
author placed some hints in the first chapters of the manga.

One of them, I believe is

> When Arata hurts his knee, she asks if that is how a teenager wound should
> heal.

What were most/all oof them?

What were the hidden hints pointing at the identity of experimental subject 1 in ReLife?


I noticed a significant hint in episode 5 while rewatching in dub form at
Funimation. I did not catch it during my first viewing of the sub at
Crunchyroll.

> Begin at about time mark 11:30. Kaizaki has been speaking with Hishiro
> concerning why her backpack had been taken. She doesn't understand why Rena
> would hate or be jealous of her. Kaizaki realizes how socially awkward
> Hishiro is, and comments that she wouldn't get it. She already knows about
> her awkwardness, and the bald statement hurts a little. This was indicated
> by the cartoon lightning the show occasionally uses for an unintentional
> word "attack". // Immediately Hishiro has a short flashback to someone else
> telling her the same, about her inability to "get it". What can be discerned
> in the dub, but was not obvious to me in first viewing the sub, is that an
> adult woman is speaking to her with disdain. Also I had assumed that the
> person shown (from their back) was the speaker. With 20:20 hindsight, it is
> clear that instead this was Hishiro herself as an adult.

I have noticed other minor hints, but I don't remember what they were or what
episode. This was the only one, though, that made me think, "Geez, I missed
that?!?".

Adding another hint (4 days after first answering). As I started watching
episode 9, pre-opening credits:

> Honoka and Hishiro talk about going to lunch at the end of class. Chizuru
> wonders about Rena, and Honoka states she isn't here today. The two go off
> to lunch together. The whole time Ryo was sitting next to Hishiro, and as
> they leave it is clear he was intently observing the two. I am guessing he
> is pleased to see Hishiro showing concern for a friend. // Another occurs
> near the middle of episode. An and Ryo are talking in their office, and An
> casually says "our subjects". The first time viewer will think generally, as
> in the subjects of ReLife Corporation. But now it is clear she meant Kaizaki
> and Hishro specifically.
