Talk:Episode 11 - Stuck To! A Day with Hime Shiratori/@comment-27209645-20160616140001/@comment-24848025-20160621070011

Oh oh! Can I pop the theory a little? :P

We know that Yume has a special mode (Yume Mode) that allows her to go beyond her own abilities. I have my own theories about Yume Mode but I won't get into them here. What I believe is that Yume is the only one who has this ability - thus the whole talk of "Tales of Legends" stuff from Hime and Hikaru. Hime has the ability to do the same as Yume - but that didn't just come out of nowhere, she had to push herself to her absolute limits just to be able to perform at the highest level through years of Aikatsu training. We're told that Hime has been doing Aikatsu since she was born, while Yume has literally just started 11 episodes ago - yet she is capable of performing at Hime's level due to Yume Mode. In a nutshell, we're seeing Hime at her full power while we're seeing Yume going beyond her current abilities to be able to match Hime at full power.

While the theory is interesting, Hime's fainting is explained away as someone who can't handle rainy days because of the low pressure it brings and is actually someone who loves to sleep.

Interestingly, it seems Hime and Hikaru have differing opinions on how to push Yume along - with Hime being the encourager and Hikaru being the pusher. And I believe they care about Yume so much because they know that if Yume gets to where Hime is at full power - Yume can push even further by pushing past her own limits, which is something Hime or anyone else can not do (as far as we know.)

There's still some infomation that we just don't know yet about Yume Mode (such as it's actual name), like how it's activated, how Hime and Hikaru know about it, how it'll affect Yume once she knows about it, and what it even is really. I bet we'll really find out once we get to around episode 20 or so.
