"Anpan" Episode 45: Viewers in tears after next week's preview

The 45th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 a.m. and others) was broadcast on May 30th, and viewers were drawn to the preview of the 10th episode "Live" that was released after the main story.

In episode 45, rumors spread that Asada Bread had rebelled against the Army by refusing to make hardtack. Kamaji ( Kotaro Yoshida Kotaro) bows down to Kusakichi (Sadao Abe), also known as "Yam-on-chan," and asks him to bake the hardtack. The next day, the ingredients for hardtack are delivered to the Asada house for some reason. The military police arrive and order Kamaji and the others to make the hardtack immediately, leaving them confused. Then Kusakichi appears and successfully bakes the hardtack.

Nobu (Imada) rushes over and, though surprised, thanks Kusakichi. Smiles return to the Asada family, but...

The preview for next week's episode, which was released after the main story ended, begins with Jiro (Ayumu Nakajima) ​​saying, "If anything happens to me, I want you to make your dreams come true instead."

The scene changes to show Tomiko (Nanako Matsushima) telling Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) "People like you are the least suited to be soldiers."

Next, Yagi Shinnosuke, a private first class of the Kokura Regiment, played by Satoshi Tsumabuki, appears. The scene shows Nobu embracing Kentaro (Fumiya Takahashi) and leaving for the war, as Nobu's lines "I hate war..." play. The trailer ends with Nobu crying, saying "I'm going too..."

On social media, people were saying things like, "The preview has me in tears," "I wonder if it's going to get even more painful and sad," "Next week looks like it's going to be even more painful than before...it's so ominous it's scary. That's why I'll be sure to watch it until the end," "Next week is expected to be another dramatic development," "Ominous signs are rising for Jiro," "He's finally going to war," and "Tsumabuki is in the preview!"
