The 51st episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " starring Mio Imada (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 am and others) was broadcast on June Getsuku. At the end, Takashi (Takumi Kitamura) was reunited with an unexpected character, which became a hot topic among viewers.
In episode 51, Taka is transferred from the Kochi regiment to the Kokura regiment. He begins his harsh military life under the strict guidance of senior soldiers such as Baba (played by Itabashi Shunya), who is in charge of training new recruits. Taka begins to feel gloomy, wondering if he can make it there. Among them, Private First Class Yagi (Satoshi Tsumabuki), who is in charge of Taka, is strict but never hits him, and he draws a line between himself and the veteran soldiers.
One day, after receiving a beating from the squad leader, Kamino (Eita Okuno), Tekken and his teammates muttered, "Let's pamper him a little," and falsely accused Taka of stealing Koda's (Ryosuke Hagiwara) combat cap. Taka denied it, but was not listened to and received several slaps. Yagi stepped in and ordered Taka to polish his shoes.
As Taku was shining his shoes, a soldier approached him and called out, "New recruit! You're slacking off! Stand up!" Taku stood up and said, "Yes! Sorry!" When he looked at the soldier's face, he saw that it was his best friend, Kentaro (Fumiya Takahashi), who had already gone to war. When Taku muttered, "Ken-chan?", Kentaro became enraged and said, "What did you say?!" The 51st episode ended with Taku perplexed by the unexpected reply and asking, "What's wrong with you..."
Kentaro, who was known for his carefree and bright smile, has changed so dramatically that comments such as "What happened?", "The soothing Ken-chan," "He's like a completely different person," "I'm worried he's fallen into darkness," and "He's completely adapted to the military..." have been posted on social media.
