The 98th episode of the NHK morning drama "Bakeke" (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Takaishi Akari, was broadcast on February 18th, and viewers' attention was drawn to Arakane Kyushuo, played by Shukugawa Atom.
In the 97th episode (broadcast on February 18th), Tsukasa Nosuke (Takashi Okabe) has a secret rendezvous with a suspicious man, Kyushu Arakane, and invests the large sum of money he took from his house in the "azuki bean market" that Arakane proposed.
In episode 98, Tsukasasuke goes to see Arakane again to find out what happened to the money he had deposited with him. Arakane explains, "The price of those azuki beans... Just like I said, it's skyrocketed!" and shows Tsukasasuke the huge sum he has accumulated. He then says, "I'm in charge of the market price in Kumamoto. I hope things go well!"
Tsukasasuke then became angry and said, "It's not what I thought. Why... why did it increase!" He raised his voice and said, "I lost all my money, was saddled with huge debts, and hit rock bottom. And yet I entrusted it to you, hoping to live a fulfilling life, with a sense of urgency, like when I lived in the tenement house a long time ago. But I believed in your suspicious nature... and even went into debt, so it's strange!"
When Arakane began to say, "What are you saying, believing something suspicious...", Tsukasasuke pleaded, "I don't feel like I'm living... Let me borrow money. Light a fire under my ass!" Arakane was stunned and said, "You're a mess!"
Tsukasa nosuke once tried his hand at selling rabbits, which left him with a huge debt. In episode 97, he got involved in a seemingly shady money-making scheme, which caused viewers to express their concerns, with comments like, "Will that tragedy be repeated again?", "The second time is really disgusting..." and "I can only see a terrifying future..."
Meanwhile, an unexpected turn of events occurred, with the amount of money entrusted to Arakane increasing, and comments were posted on social media such as, "Arakane Kyushu Man, what a surprise...!!" "Sorry for doubting you, Kyushu Man", "Arakane is a real stock market analyst (the type who really hits the target)?" "He may have looked suspicious, but he's a capable man!" "I'm really surprised by today's turn of events. Mr. Arakane is amazing...!" "Who the hell is Arakane (lol)", and "I'd like to entrust my money to Mr. Arakane too..."
