The 12th episode of the TBS Sunday drama "VIVANT" (Sundays at 9pm), starring actor Masato Sakai, aired on August 2nd, and a mysterious tattooed man glaring at Nogi (Sakai) became a hot topic among viewers.
Nogi, who has come to Thailand in pursuit of Shinjo (Ryusei Ryo), heads to a certain restaurant to meet up with a new member of the special unit.
"I think I arrived a little too early," F said as he appeared, looking around at the people nearby. "Oh? That guy," F said, pointing to a mysterious man. "Nope, not him. For a moment, he had the eyes of a spy. That's what I thought," he said, to which Nogi nodded, "Maybe."
F said, "Would a spy get tattoos that plastered all over him? He's definitely a yakuza member," to which Nogi replied, "Here, tattoos are part of fashion. You can't judge a book by its cover," suggesting that it could be someone from a different unit.
Then F spotted Mr. Nagano (played by Fumiyo Kohinata), the managing director of Marubishi Trading, and Nogi quickly left the scene, saying, "We have no choice but to change locations."
Comments on social media include: "He seems like he'll get involved again later," "He looks like a bad guy but also like an ally," "Isn't he like the drummer for Managing Director Nagano?", "It would be interesting if he's not involved at all," "Isn't he Managing Director Nagano's agent?", and "Maybe he fell in love with Nogi at first sight?"
