The 85th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " starring Kanna Hashimoto ) who visited "Hair Salon Yoneda" run by Masato (Yukiya Kitamura).
In episode 85, Shoya goes to Yoneda Hair Salon to deliver strawberries that arrived from his parents' home in Tochigi. Then, elementary school teacher Osaki (Utsumi Takashi) comes to the salon for the first time in a while and praises Masato's crew cut technique, saying, "I really need Yoneda's crew cut. I've been trying to look cool, and I've cheated on a lot of salons and places that offer cheap haircuts, but the way he cuts the crew cuts is completely wrong."
Shoya looked with interest at Masato as he carefully cut Osaki's hair into a crew cut. After Osaki left, Shoya asked Masato, "I always think this, but your father-in-law's crew cut is completely different from others. How much training does it take to get that good?" Masato replied, "At least 10 years," to which Shoya muttered, "10 years..." and looked thoughtful.
Comments on social media about Shoya's words and actions in this scene included, "It's significant," "I wonder if it's a sign that he'll take over as a barber," "Perhaps it's a hint for Shoya's future," "Shoya watches Masato get his hair cut - is that really the case?" and "It makes sense that he, who aspired to become a professional baseball player, would fall in love with craftsmanship."
