The 117th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Bakebake, " starring Akari Takaishi , aired on March 17th (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.). In this episode, the actions and words of Tsukasanosuke(Takashi Okabe ), who sensed something was wrong with Heaven ( Tommy Bastow ), became a hot topic.
Heaven was supposed to be a lecturer in the English Department at the Imperial University, but instead, he headed to a coffee shop.
Tsukasanosuke said, "I took the liberty of following you. For some reason, you had the same scent as me," and then shared his own experience after the end of the samurai era, saying, "I just stood there. There was nothing else I could do. It was painful to be told by this world that I was 'useless! old-fashioned!' even though I hadn't changed."
Heaven then revealed that he had been fired from the Imperial University, and with slumped shoulders, said, "400 yen... I can't pay anymore. I'm... old, they said. There's no need to learn from me anymore. A washed-up person... a washed-up person."
Tsukasanosuke leaned close to Heaven and said, "That's me back then," and continued, "Let me tell you, I'm your father, even if only by marriage. A very loyal father. So find a job and write Best Sarah without worry. Understand, son-in-law? Understand, my old self?" Heaven finally smiled and replied, "Yes."
Comments on social media include: "I never thought Tsukasanosuke would make me cry...", "The scene where they toast to each other was the best!", "Tsukasanosuke really raised his stock!", and "Tsukasanosuke, what's up? You did a great job today."
