The 110th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and other times), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on March 6th, and viewers were drawn to the interaction between Heaven ( Tommy Bastow) and the rickshaw driver Nagami (Onishi Nobumitsu).
Six months pass in the blink of an eye, and Toki (Takaishi) gives birth to Heaven's child. The Matsuno household is filled with happiness, but when Masaki (Yukito Hidaka) voices his doubts that Heaven, Toki, and the child cannot become a family unless they are registered under the same family register, Heaven begins to think seriously about family registers.
At that moment, Heaven told Nagami, "Nagami-san, you're fired," and took out a thick package with "Pension" written on it from his pocket. Then, imitating Nagami's catchphrase, "Pension... is it?", he handed the pension to Nagami. When Heaven bowed and said, "My family... is important. Let's... have it all," Nagami also bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much for all your help!"
In the 107th episode (broadcast on March 3rd), Nagami revealed to Heaven that he had left his wife and child behind in Matsue, saying tearfully, "My wife is...more clumsy than I am. If I leave Matsue, I'll be unhappy."
Comments on social media included, "My tear ducts are breaking," "A 'fired' announcement that is filled with compassion and love," "A considerate dismissal," "I've never seen such a kind and compassionate dismissal," "The two words 'pension' are filled with gratitude," "A kind gesture only Heaven could have, choosing family," "Heaven's deepest gratitude to Nagami," "Nagami is leaving... I'm so sad..." and "He was an endlessly clumsy, kind person, and full of loyalty and humanity... Thank you Nagami..."
