The third episode of the TV drama series "PJ: Air Rescue Team" (TV Asahi, Thursdays at 9pm), starring actor Seiyo Uchino, was broadcast on May 8th, and the average viewership rating (Kanto region, according to Video Research, below) was 6.8% for households and 3.8% for individuals.
The drama is set in the Air Self-Defense Force's Air Rescue Wing, commonly known as PJ (Pararescue Jumper), an elite rescue unit known as the "last line of defense for saving lives." The story depicts trainees aiming to become PJ members undergoing rigorous training under the strict and unconventional head instructor, Seiji Usami (Uchino).
In the third episode, as the grueling sea training approaches, the training begins in the pool, where they must patrol underwater while maintaining their breath. Hasebe (Aoto Watanabe) loses consciousness as he struggles to breathe, and Shirakawa (Kentaro Maeda) is overcome with fear when he sees this.
