To the Shining You：Is the performance detailed? Is there an homage? Reminiscent of the "Lipovitan D" commercial, Toshikata and Yorimichi's Heian version of "Fight Itpats!" gets the crowd excited

The 35th episode of the NHK Taiga drama "To You Who Shines" (General TV, Sunday 8pm and others), starring Yoshitaka Yuriko, entitled "The Empress's Tears," aired on September 15th, and viewers were thrilled by the rock-climbing scene of Michinaga (Emoto Tasuku) and his companions on their way to Mt. Ontake.

In the 35th episode, Michinaga heads to Mt. Ontake with his son Yorimichi (Watanabe Keisuke) to pray for the pregnancy of Empress Shoshi (Migami Ai). However, plagued by the rugged journey and bad weather, they have difficulty reaching their destination, Kinpusenji Temple, when Ise (Miura Shohei) makes some ominous moves with his warriors...

While climbing up a steep rock, one of the companions, Shunken (Honda Daisuke), slips. Yorimichi, who is ahead of Toshikata, notices and reaches out his hand, but is unable to grab him, and Toshikata slowly backs away. Still, Yorimichi desperately stretches his body, and Toshikata somehow manages to hold on and joins his hand. With all their strength, the two of them manage to escape unscathed.

The scene reminded viewers of the old Lipovitan D commercials. On social media, viewers responded with comments such as "Yorimichi: 'Fight!' Yorikane: 'One shot!'" and "Lipovitan D for the Heian aristocrats." People were excited, saying things like, "I never thought I'd find Fight Ippo in a taiga drama lol," "I admire how he was able to show Fight Ippo in the finer details," "It was an homage to Lipovitan D," and "The only thing I can think of for Lipovitan D is 'Fight!! One shot!!' It's a homage to the creators."
