The 28th episode of the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sunday 8pm and others), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , titled "Sano Sessho Daimyojin", was broadcast on July 27th, and the spy role of "the man who was Jouemon", played by Yano Masato, became a hot topic among viewers.

" UNBOUND (Berabou)" is the 64th taiga drama, depicting the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have built the foundations of Japan's media industry and pop culture. The script was written by Yoshiko Morishita, known for "Drama 10 'Ooku'" which was broadcast on NHK two years ago and became a big hit.

In episode 28, Ichi (Hio Miyazawa) is slashed by Sano Masayoshi (Yamoto Yuma) inside the castle, losing his life before he can achieve his goal, and Masayoshi also commits seppuku.

Later, while Tsutaju (Yokohama) and others are watching the funeral procession of Ichi through the city, a stone is suddenly thrown, causing chaos, and Daresode (Haruka Fukuhara) runs to protect the coffin. Seeing the haggard and exhausted Daresode, Tsutaju begins to think of a way to clear up the regrets of the late Ichi, but...

The man who was Jouemon framed Hiraga Gennai (played by Ken Yasuda Ken) for the crime, created an opportunity for him to die in prison, and then stirred up Masayoshi's suspicion and hatred towards Tanuma, leading to the incident. In the same episode, he also worked behind the scenes, throwing stones at the funeral procession of Ichi while dressed as a carpenter, and erecting a flag in front of the temple reading "The Grave of Sano Yonaoshi Daimyojin" while dressed as a ronin.

Viewers responded on social media with comments such as, "Oh no, it's him again," "It's you again!", "The guy who threw the first stone...!" and "That guy was Joemon."

As Yano, the male actor who played Jouemon, is known for his roles as Okuwagata Oger/Lacles Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger in the Super Sentai series "Osama Sentai King Oger," comments such as "Spy Lacles!", "Spy Lacles is an excellent spy...", and "Spy Lacles has become just as ominous as Zenji" were posted, as were thoughts such as "The man who played Jouemon is doing too much behind the scenes," and "Just look, they keep using Lacles as their spy so much that the plot is about to be exposed!".
