The final episode (episode 125) of the NHK Asadora drama series "Bakebake ," starring Akari Takaishi , aired on March 27th (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), and viewers were captivated by the plot developments in which memories of Toki (Takaishi) and Heaven ( Tommy Bastow) served as a plot point.
Toki is tormented by guilt, wondering if he has tied Heaven down and ruined his life. With Tsukasanosuke(Takashi Okabe) and Fumi (Chizuru Ikewaki) watching over him, he tells Joe (Rairin Sugita) about his memories of Heaven.
When Toki recalled the episode where she forced Heaven to wear the "frog coat" against his will, Joe burst into laughter. Joe explained that it wasn't a "frog coat" but a "frock coat," and added, "I think the teacher was laughing because he found Toki's insistence on calling it a frog coat endearing."
When Toki asked, "So... it wasn't a frog coat?", everyone burst into laughter. Toki pressed Joe, "Forget everything we just said!", but Joe just laughed and said, "No way." Fumi said to Toki, "Isn't this kind of story good? Because... Heaven and I were just this kind of couple. Simple... really simple, wonderful everyday life."
Toki looked around the room filled with memories of Heaven, and was overcome with emotion, weeping. Just then, a mosquito flew by and landed on Toki's hand. Toki said, "Come to think of it... Daddy... liked mosquitoes," and "He even said that if he were reborn, he'd want to be a mosquito..."
In week 24, there was a scene where Toki was putting a coat on Heaven before she left and said "frog coat," which led some viewers to ask, "Shouldn't it be 'frock coat' instead of 'frog coat'?" The reason for this was revealed in the final episode.
Furthermore, there was a scene where Heaven, who went for a walk with Toki, said, "I'll be reborn as a crab," which led to comments on social media such as, "The best final episode," "Amazing script," "Simply impressed by the careful way the plot points were resolved," "'Why a frog coat?' she said. I never imagined it would be such an important plot point brought up at the very end," "The way the frog coat plot point was resolved was so amazing I cried," "I burst out crying when the plot point about wanting to be reborn as a mosquito was resolved," and "The script, storyline, plot points, casual scenes, theme song, everything about this was the best Asadora."
