The 112th 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 10th. In the episode, Heaven ( Tommy Bastow) reunites with Nishikori (Ryo Yoshizawa) for the first time in a long time, causing heartbreak among viewers.
In order to become a family with Toki (Takaishi) and Kanta, Heaven decides to become a Japanese citizen. In order for the two to register their marriage, they must go through the necessary procedures at Matsue City Hall. Toki and Heaven visit Matsue for the first time in a long while, accompanied by Tsukasanosuke(Takashi Okabe) and Fumi (Chizuru Ikewaki).
However, since there is no precedent in Shimane for a foreigner to be registered as a Japanese citizen, Toki finds out that he must get the approval of the prefectural governor, Eto (Sano Shiro). Toki visits the home of Shoda (Shogo Hama), who has become the principal of Matsue Junior High School, in an attempt to persuade Eto.
Meanwhile, Heaven visits Nishikori's house and calls out in front of the gate, "Nishikoori-san! Who could it be?" When Nishikori opens the front door and appears, he looks completely emaciated, and Heaven can't hide her shock. When Heaven bows and says, "Gobsata... Nishikoori-san," Nishikori also bows and says, "It's been a while..."
Heaven offered his hand, saying, "Hisashiburi," but Nishikori refused to shake hands and instead invited him inside, saying, "Come in." The episode ended with Heaven sporting a complicated expression.
Comments on social media included, "It looks painful... Nishikori, it looks painful...", "He looks like a different person...", "Is it okay to be this thin!?", "Nishikori is thinner than I imagined, I was shocked, like, wow... (Ryo Yoshizawa...)", "It's hard to see Nishikori looking so worn out...", "It's sad that he doesn't seem to have the energy to be happy about their reunion", "His voice is so weak and raspy...", and "Was he not shaking hands to avoid spreading the disease?"
