The final episode of the TBS Sunday Theatre drama " Diamonds Sleeping in the Sea " (Sunday 9:00 pm), starring actor Ryunosuke Kamiki, was broadcast on December 22nd. The "true identity" of Sawada, also known as "Sawadaji", played by Yoshi Sakou, became a hot topic on social media.
◇The following contains spoilers
In the final episode, it was revealed that Teppei (Kamiki) had 11 diaries, of which there were thought to be 10 in total. The 11th volume was hidden in the company safe by Izumi's ( Nobuko Miyamoto) secretary, Sawada.
When asked by Reo (Kamiki, playing two roles), "Didn't you want Izumi to read it?", Sawada nodded. When asked, "Was there anything written in it that would hurt Izumi?", Sawada replied, "It's not something noble. I was just thinking about myself."
Sawada then confessed, "I was born on Hashima Island. The 'Sawada' in my name Sawada Makoto is my wife's surname, and my maiden name is Araki. My father is Shinpei (played by Takumi Saito)." When Izumi was surprised and asked, "Makoto?", Sawada revealed that his name was "Araki Makoto."
On social media, comments such as "The biggest shock was that Sawadaj was Makoto", "So it came full circle and I was really involved with Sawadaj", "I thought he was just Sawadaj but he was actually Makoto, and Reo who I thought was a blood relative was just Reo, so I was pleasantly betrayed and very satisfied", "Sawadaj, who is Makoto whom Teppei risked his life to protect, was actually supporting Asako by her side", and "Perhaps the most shocking thing was that Sawadaj was Makoto. It was so unpredictable and the foreshadowing was so complicated and intricate, it was interesting and amazing" were posted and discussed.
