The synopsis and still images for episode 7 of the TV Asahi drama series "Reborn ~The Last Hero~" (Tuesdays at 9 PM), starring actor Issei Takahashi, have been released. Episode 7 will air on May 26th.
Kosei Neo (played by Takahashi in a dual role), who has been reincarnated as Hideto Nomoto (played by Takahashi), tries to stop NEOXIS from entering the Tokyo Olympics-related business and acquiring a bank, but fails. As history slowly changes as Kosei lives on as Hideto, he becomes anxious about the future of Akari Shopping Street.
Then in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic completely changed daily life. The Tokyo Olympics were postponed, dealing a major blow to NEOXIS, and the shopping district saw a complete halt in customers. However, they managed to overcome another crisis by selling a large quantity of infection prevention goods in the shopping district.
Meanwhile, Tomono (played by Ouji Suzuka) comes to visit Hideto. In his previous life, Kosei developed a home-oriented business that was well-suited to the COVID-19 pandemic, and NEOXIS made a comeback. Hideto is puzzled to hear that Kosei in this era is holed up at home. However, Kosei says, "I was thinking the same thing," and shows a triumphant attitude, having succeeded in his new business.
Just then, Hideto receives the news he feared from Tomono. NEOXIS, which is proceeding with the acquisition of the bank, has named Akari Shopping Street as a strong candidate for the land required for the acquisition. Based on his memories from his past life, the deadline for deciding on the acquisition plan for the shopping street was fast approaching. Hideto enlists the help of Togo (Masachika Ichimura) and Ichimanda (Yoshiyuki Tsubokura) and works tirelessly to save the shopping street, but...
The drama tells the story of a man who is reborn as a different person and given a second chance at life. The script is written by Hiroshi Hashimoto, who has also written dramas such as "The Grand Family" (TBS), "Job Hunting Family: It'll Surely Work Out," "Adult High School," and "Sky Castle" (all on TV Asahi).
