The 42nd episode, "Uninvited Guest," of the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sundays at 8pm and others), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , was broadcast on November 2nd, and viewers reacted to the caption that appeared in the preview for the next episode after the main story ended.
" UNBOUND (Berabou)" is the 64th taiga drama and depicts the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have laid the foundations for Japan's media industry and pop culture. The script was written by Yoshiko Morishita, who is known for her work on the highly talked-about "Drama 10: Ooku," which aired on NHK two years ago.
The subtitle of the next episode, the 43rd, is "Love Song of Betrayal" and will be broadcast on Getsuku.
Tsutaju (Yokohama) was preparing 50 paintings of prostitutes to be painted by Utamaro (Sometani Shota) as a way of repaying his debt to Yoshiwara.
Tsutaju pushes ahead with his work, unaware of Utamaro's troubled feelings about his relationship with Tsutaju, but one day he becomes upset when he hears that Utamaro is teaming up with Manjiro (Nakamura Tsubame) of Nishimuraya. Meanwhile, in Edo Castle, Sadanobu (Inoue Yuki) is devoting all his energy to countering Orosha.
He handles this incident, gets recognition from Shogun Ienari (played by Shiro Kairi), and aims to become the "Tairo" (chief councilor), but...
The trailer displays the words "Kitagawa Utamaro, you too?" and includes a disturbing scene in which Utamaro demands, "Give me that store."
On social media, people have been commenting, "What does the preview mean, 'Kitagawa Utamaro, even you?'", "What does 'Utamaro, even you?' mean?", "The theory that Kitagawa Utamaro will be Brutus has emerged...?", "Kitagawa Utamaro, even you?... So that's how Brutus is developing," as well as, "Utamaro will become Brutus in the next episode," "Which restaurant is that?", "I see... Is Utamaro going to try something reckless, knowing it...?", and "The preview for the next episode is so grim it's scary..."
