The third episode of the popular TBS Sunday Theatre drama "Reboot" (Sundays at 9pm), starring Suzuki Ryohei, aired on February 1st. A thoughtful comment from Fuyuhashi Wataru, played by Nagase Ren of the popular group King & Prince, about Natsumi (Yamaguchi Sayaka) left a strong impression, with many people saying it was "meaningful" and "curious."

Hayase (Suzuki), disguised as Gido, is instructed by Kaieda (Sakamichi Yoshi) to bring the stolen 1 billion yen in his car in exchange for Mayu's (Kuroki Meisa) life.
Meanwhile, Hayase and Ichika (Toda Erika) learn of the existence of a "storage room" that Gido had contracted just before Natsumi disappeared. When they go to the storage room, they find 1 billion yen and Natsumi's driver's license stored there. Hayase is convinced that "Gido really did murder Natsumi."
It's the appointed time. When Kaieda opens the car door, Fuyuhashi and Kiriya (Fujisawa Suzuka) jump out, guns drawn. Fuyuhashi's smartphone is connected to Goroku (Kitamura Yukiya). Goroku declares that the missing 1 billion yen has been found in Kaieda's apartment. Kaieda is knocked unconscious by Kiriya.
"You sure it wasn't Gidou-san? You did it to Natsumi-san?"
When Fuyuhashi pressed him, Hayase retorted, "You're being persistent." Fuyuhashi looked at Hayase's face intently and said meaningfully, "I see. Natsumi must be happy too. The culprit has been caught..."
On social media, people were talking about the incident, saying things like, "When Fuyuhashi said, 'I'm sure Natsumi is happy,' there seemed to be warmth in his voice," "When Fuyuhashi said, 'I'm glad the person who killed Natsumi was caught,' it felt a little meaningful," and "It's interesting that Fuyuhashi always has a cold expression on his face, but when he thinks of Natsumi, he clearly becomes emotional."
The drama is a suspense story about Hayase Riku, who is framed for the murder of his wife, abandoning his family and past, rebooting himself into the face of corrupt detective Gido, and pursuing the real culprit.
