The 15th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 am and others), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on April 18th, and the words spoken by Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura) to Nobu (Imada) became a hot topic among viewers.
In episode 15, Tomiko (Nanako Matsushima) suddenly returns after eight years of not hearing from her. Although he still harbors some grudge against Tomiko, Taku is happy when she praises his manga. Meanwhile, Nobu, who is selling Anpan, asks Chihiro (Motoki Nakazawa), who is sitting on a seesaw reading a book, "What do you think about your mother?" Chihiro replies, "I can't be happy like my brother. If I met her face to face, I'd probably say something mean to her."
As Taka and Tomiko are chatting in the shopping district, Nobu, with a troubled look on his face, approaches. Nobu recalls how, as a child, Taka used the address on a postcard to go see Tomiko by himself, only to be told, "You shouldn't come here anymore." She tearfully pleads, "Taka has been waiting to hear from you for eight years. But you haven't sent a single message. Why did you come back now? Please stop hurting Taka any more."
Taka then stopped him, saying, "Stop it!" and added, "Nobu-chan... you've never been abandoned by your mother, have you? But I still wanted to meet her. I've always wanted to meet this person. What do you know, Nobu-chan?"
In response to Takashi's words, people on social media said things like, "You've never been abandoned by your mother, have you? That one line sums it up. It's an amazing script," "We got a glimpse into the darkness in Takashi's heart," "It's painful to see his twisted love for his mother," "It's disgusting to say to the mother herself that she won't understand the feelings of a child who has been abandoned by their own mother," and "It's the difference between a child who is abandoned by their parents and a child who is raised with love."
