A man whose survival was confirmed and brought relief to viewers. He brought back something "redeemed" with the blood of someone he didn't know. "A truly great achievement."

The NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (NHK General TV, Sundays at 8:00 PM and other times), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , aired on August 3rd. In the 29th episode, "Edo Nama Tsutaya Vengeance," viewers were relieved to hear that a certain character was "confirmed to be alive."

" UNBOUND (Berabou)" is the 64th taiga drama and depicts the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have laid the foundations for Japan's media industry and pop culture. The script was written by Yoshiko Morishita, who is known for her work on the highly talked-about "Drama 10: Ooku," which aired on NHK two years ago.

In the 29th episode, Tsutaju (Yokohama) proposes to his comic writers and artists that he wants to create a yellow-covered book using the picture of the "Hand Towel Man" that Masaya (Furukawa Yudai) brought in. Then Tsuruya (Shunsuke Kazama) appears and offers to lend Kyoden-sensei (Masaya) if they hit the jackpot. Meanwhile, Okitsugu(Watanabe Ken Watanabe) finds evidence that the Matsumae family has been secretly accumulating wealth in Ezo through the Matsumae family's secret accounting books obtained by Tosaku (Kimura Ryo), and begins preparing to request confiscation...

After the opening credits of the episode, it is revealed that it was Tosaku who was found collapsed in front of Okitsugu's mansion at the end of the previous week's 28th episode.

Despite being targeted for assassination by Michihiro (Enari Kazuki Enari ), the head of the Matsumae family, Tosaku somehow manages to return alive. He tearfully pleads with Ienari to grant him the bureaucracy, saying that the ledger he brought back was "purchased" with the "blood" of those who lost their lives, including Zenkichi (Garabens Yano), Okitsugu Genzaemon ( Hio Miyazawa ), and Ichi (Miyazawa Hio).

On social media, viewers expressed their relief with comments such as "To... Tosaku! He's alive!!", "Tosaku is alive!" and "Thank goodness Tosaku is safe." They also offered words of encouragement such as "Tosaku stinks but he's alive", "I'm glad Tosaku is alive", "Tosaku is amazing. He risked his life to deliver the front and back ledgers to Tanuma Okitsugu", "Well done Tosaku", "Death Cell Ochi keeps Tosaku Okitsugu and the back ledgers reach Okitsugu. What an exciting development", and "Tosaku, transforming into a bald head and escaping is a real achievement! Please give him a bath and treat him to something delicious...".
