Zaibatsu Fukushu:At the end, "Yukiya" Keisuke Watanabe is in big trouble! "Reo" Takumi Nishigaki's "descent into darkness" shocks viewers: "It was creepy" and "scary" (spoilers included)

The fifth episode of the TV drama series "Zaibatsu Fukushu" (TV Tokyo, Mondays 11:06pm), starring actors Keisuke Watanabe and Miori Takimoto, aired on February 3rd. The final episode depicted Yukiya (Watanabe) suddenly facing a crisis, and the "change" in Reo (Nishigaki Takumi), who was present at the time, attracted attention on social media.

◇The following contains spoilers.

As a result of Yukiya's scheme, Kyoko (Takaoka Saki) is caught having an affair with Reo by Seiichiro (Watanabe Ikkei), and is branded as a disgrace to the Ise family and abandoned.

Erika (Kenta Izuka) believes that Yukiya, who is burning with revenge against the Ise family, is the mastermind behind exposing Satoshi (Inozuka Kenta) and Kyoko's blunders, and asks Seiichiro to intervene in order to protect the Ise family.

Meanwhile, Reo, who has lost his company, begs Yukiya to let him help out at the children's cafeteria "Hokahoya," and ends up looking after the children together with Yukiya there...and so the story unfolds.

After finishing his help at the "Hokaho House," Reo invites Yukiya to a drinking party, saying, "I want to talk about the future." As the two of them are walking down a dark street at night, Yukiya is suddenly handcuffed by two men who appear to be police officers, who tell him, "You are under arrest for violating the Act on the Protection of Specially Designated Secrets," and take him away in a car.

As Reo watches the car drive away, he mutters, "It's what I got. Yukiya was the one who used me first." Last time (episode 3), Reo was used by Yukiya to get revenge on Kyoko, but he was actually connected to Erika. He had been reporting Yukiya's actions on his smartphone.

On social media, many people expressed their horror at Reo's "dark fall." Comments included, "I got goosebumps at the very end," "Where did the pure Reo go?", "He's fallen to that side...?", "His facial expression was completely different and it was scary," "Reo's final appearance was too shocking," and "He's fallen too far into the dark side, I can't take it."
