The 93rd episode of the NHK morning drama "Bakeke" (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Takaishi Akari, was broadcast on February 11th, and viewers were drawn to Nishikori's (Yoshizawa Ryo) unexpected behavior.
In episode 92 (aired February 10th), Heaven (Tommy Bastow) tells Nishikori that she wants to leave Matsue. Nishikori desperately tries to stop Heaven, asking her why she's going to Kumamoto, but Heaven replies, "Matsue... I'm sorry. That's all." Nishikori stands there in shock, saying, "Huh...?"
In episode 93, Heaven becomes worried the next morning when Nishikori doesn't show up even after the time he was supposed to be picked up has passed. Meanwhile, Nishikori finally shows up. Toki (Takaishi) and Heaven are surprised to see Nishikori when they come to greet him. With the help of his younger brother Takeru (Sugita Rairin), Nishikori carries a large amount of cold weather gear, including blankets, furs, and firewood, into Heaven's house. Nishikori smiles broadly and says, "With all this, we'll be able to get through even the coldest winter," but Heaven has a complicated look on her face and says, "I'm surprised..."
On social media, comments such as "Nishikori's love is too heavy!", "His love for Heaven Sensei is too deep...", "Nishikori's smile is painful to look at", "Nishikori's desperation is heartbreaking", "Nishikori has lost sight of what's going on around him", "It's painful to see him spinning his wheels", and "No, no, that's not it lol" were posted.
