The eighth episode of the TBS Friday drama "Takusari Brothers" (Fridays at 10 PM), starring actor Masaki Okada and also featuring Shota Sometani, aired on June 5th, and a preview video for the ninth episode (to be aired on June 12th) was released after the episode ended.
In episode 8, Makoto (Okada) and Minoru (Someya) successfully restore Tsuda's (Iio Kazuki) notebook, which contained his research into the connection between Karashima Metal Factory and the Igarashi Group. Just as they were about to unravel the new information they had been waiting for, Koike (Kishitani Goro) visits them and takes the notebook away.
Makoto confronts Koike, suspecting his involvement in illegal gun manufacturing, and gets closer to the truth of the case. And finally, the culprit behind the murder of his parents is revealed... and that's how the story unfolds.
The preview for episode 9 shows scenes of Makoto with a trembling voice saying, "Please don't hurt my brother anymore," and also of him asking someone questions like, "Why do you think we became police officers?"
Comments on social media include: "Makoto is a big brother through and through," "The preview for the next episode was heartbreaking," "I cried even more when he said, 'Please don't hurt your younger brother anymore'," "I'm crying," and "These are the words of all viewers."
