The 17th 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 22nd, and the lines spoken in Tosa dialect by Nobu (Imada) to Takashi ( Takumi Kitamura) became a hot topic among viewers.
In the 17th episode, when Nobu comes to the Yanai house to study, he can't find Taka. While walking along the railroad tracks, Taka remembers the words that Hiroshi (Yutaka Takenouchi) asked Chihiro (Motoki Nakazawa) last night, "I gave up on becoming a doctor because of Taka, didn't I? If Taka becomes the successor, he will be cherished as the eldest son in this house. Isn't that what you thought?"
After Nobu leaves, Takashi comes home. He says self-deprecatingly, "You'll study better if I'm not around," and ends up getting into a huge fight with Chihiro. Takashi yells, "If you want to take over the hospital, then just do it. Don't give it up to me!", but Chihiro replies, "I'm just going to live my own way!"
In front of her mother Tomiko (Nanako Matsushima), Chihiro said, "She just wants to make her son a doctor and make a place for herself! My brother is being used by her!" Takashi became furious and said, "Shut up!" He hit Chihiro without thinking and then exploded with emotion, saying, "Ever since you were brought here, you've been constantly watching the mood of your uncle and aunt and becoming an honor student! You're doing great! Even between brothers, you're like moon and moon! Deep down, you're probably wishing that your brother would disappear!"
Nobu rushed over and slapped Taka, expressing his anger, saying, "You...don't even know how Chihiro feels. Who do you think has been closest to you and has been watching you all the time? You're just a cheap soft-shelled turtle!"
"Tasuigaa" is a Tosa dialect word used to mean "weak" or "unreliable," but on social media, people have been saying things like "What does tasuigaa mean?", "I want to know what it means," and "I understand that it's an insult," as well as comments like "There are a lot of words with character," "The more I hear Tosa dialect, the more I like it," "Even if I don't understand the meaning, I can feel Nobu's anger," and "Nobu's feelings for Takako are overflowing, Mio Imada did a great job acting."
