The 95th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 AM and other times), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on August 8th, and an uneasy atmosphere was apparent between Nobu (Imada) and Tetsuko (Toda Keiko), causing concern among viewers.
In episode 95, Nobu hands Tetsuko a document compiling the voices of the Grieving Mothers Association and asks her to create an opportunity to talk with mothers who lost their children in the war.
However, Tetsuko asked Nobu, "We must never let war break out between countries again. But how do you think I have the time to pursue ideals?" She continued, "I want to create a world where the oppressed, the poor, and the weak are saved. But unless we pass new policies, the world won't change." She also said, "You can't just keep saying nice things like Nobu."
When Nobu retorted, "Creating a world without war... is that just a nice thing to say?", Tetsuko snapped, "That's too soft!" and added, "If you have complaints about my way of doing things, feel free to quit."
Comments on social media about the exchange between the two have included, "Tetsuko Sensei and Nobu are clashing," "Something seems ominous," "Are they falling out!?", "Maki Sensei is in a position to teach the harshness of reality," "There's a rift between the two..." and "Is Nobu also taking a new step?"
