The 94th episode of the NHK morning drama "Bakeke" (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Takaishi Akari, was broadcast on February 12th, and viewers were drawn to the growth of the unemployed Sannojo (Itagaki Rikito).
Toki is confused when Heaven (Tommy Bastow) says he's going to Kumamoto. In episode 94, Toki visits Tae (Keiko Kitagawa) and meets Sannojo for the first time in a long while.
Sannojo was unemployed and thought he couldn't do any job other than that of the president, but he returned home exhausted, saying, "Ah, I'm tired. I can't do this anymore. I'm going to die..." Sannojo greeted Toki with "It's been a while," and revealed that he had started working unloading cargo, saying, "I'm not the president." Sannojo showed his muscles, saying, "Look!", but Toki responded, "They're thin..."
Afterwards, the three of them sit down to lunch prepared by Tae. As Toki is leaving, Sannojo stops him and hands him an envelope containing money. Sannojo, who had received living expenses from Toki, promises, "It's still not even 10 yen... but I'll work harder and harder and pay back everything I've received."
Comments on social media about Sannojo's growth, who once spent his days stacking stones because he couldn't find work, included, "Sannojo was working (sobbing)", "I guess he hasn't shown up recently because he's been working", "Sannojo was working and being spoiled by his mother was so touching!", "Little Sannojo's growth brought tears to my eyes", "He has the best expression ever!", "Sannojo's tanned nails and fingers are so dirty after working that they don't come off even after washing. He's grown up...", "Sannojo's thin arms as he works honestly must be supporting Tae-sama", and "I feel like a parent and I want to cry."
