<p>Surprise - it's a subtitling error! The first four characters (完全被甲) certainly mean "full metal jacket" (in the sense of a bullet with a full-metal jacket).

<p>In episode 8 of <em>Hajimete no Gal</em>, at around 12:59, Ranko mentions that there's tight security around the women's bath at the inn they're staying at, and then there's a cut to this sign:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/xOZN4.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/xOZN4.jpg" alt=""></a></p>

<p>It reads 完全被甲混乱, and was subtitled by Crunchyroll as "Full Metal Jacket". Is this right? If so, how does <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Metal_Jacket" rel="noreferrer"><em>Full Metal Jacket</em></a> have anything to do with this?</p>

In episode 8 of *Hajimete no Gal*, at around 12:59, Ranko mentions that there's tight security around the women's bath at the inn they're staying at, and then there's a cut to this sign:

It reads 完全被甲混乱, and was subtitled by Crunchyroll as "Full Metal Jacket". Is this right? If so, how does [*Full Metal Jacket*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Metal_Jacket) have anything to do with this?

Surprise - it's a subtitling error! The first four characters (完全被甲) certainly mean "full metal jacket" (in the sense of a bullet with a full-metal jacket). But the last two ([混乱](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%B7%B7%E4%B9%B1)), which seemingly went untranslated, mean "confusion" or "disorder"... or, perhaps, "Panic". You know, as in *Full Metal Panic!*.

So, what does *Full Metal Panic!* have to do with anything?

I have a pretty good guess: [episode 9 of *Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqR4mKGLFMU) features the cast visiting a hot springs resort. Once there, some of the men (led by military man Kurz) attempt to spy on the girls in their party as they relax *au naturel* in the open-air hot springs. Like Junichi's friends in *Hajimete no Gal*, Kurz-and-co's efforts are indeed foiled by rather tight security. I suppose this was a homage of sorts.
