In the previous episode, Nobu (Imada) participated in the bread-eating race, but was disqualified after finishing in first place. In front of Nobu, who was dejected, Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura) was angry about being disqualified. Seeing him like that, Nobu realized that Takashi had given up his place in the bread-eating race.
At that moment, Chihiro (Motoki Nakazawa), who had been promoted to first place, appeared and handed over the winning prize, a radio, to Nobu. In the morning, Nobu teaches radio exercises to his family. As Takashi watches, Nobu says with sparkling eyes, "I think I found it."
In the 14th episode, Taka is in a good mood after receiving a prize for a manga he submitted to a newspaper. Meanwhile, Nobu learns that it was Chihiro who saved him when he nearly fell during a bread-eating contest. On the way back from a delivery, Kusakichi (Sadao Abe), Nobu, Ranko (Yuumi Kawai), and Meiko (Nanoka Hara) are eating shaved ice on the beach. At that moment, Taka and Chihiro arrive at Kusakichi's call. Nobu conveys his thanks and gratitude to Chihiro.
Seeing the two of them talking face to face, Taku's heart feels uneasy...
"Anpan" is based on the married couple Takashi Yanase(1919-2013) and Nobu Komatsu(1918-1993), the manga artist and picture book writer who created "Anpanman." It is a "story of love and courage" that will make you feel the joy of living, depicting how these two, who were once nobody, overcame all sorts of rough seas to become "Anpanman," the embodiment of "unreversible justice."
