The sixth episode of the TV drama "The Kidnapping Day" (TV Asahi, Tuesdays at 9pm), starring actor Saito Takumi, aired on August 12th, and the actions of lawyer Yamazaki, played by Snow Man's Tatsuya Fukazawa, became a hot topic.
◇The following contains spoilers.
Masamune (Saito) and Nanase Rin (Yuno Nagao) are kidnapped and held captive by Kevin Fukuzumi (Suzuki Kosuke), but they manage to escape with the help of medical doctor Mizuhara Yukiko (Uchida Yuki) and launch a counterattack.
As if he had seen through the three's actions, Kevin Fukuzumi appeared and pointed a gun at Masamune. Masamune was in a difficult position, but he smiled awkwardly and said, "Even someone like me could have at least managed to get your attention."
Then, Kevin Fukuzumi is suddenly attacked from behind by lawyer Yamazaki. He hits him with an attaché case and subdues him, turning the tables. Masamune and Rin have also got Yamazaki on their side.
Masamune and Rin's counterattack plan seemed to be successful, but in the preview for next week's episode 7 (broadcast on August 19th), a caption reads, "The true mastermind appears!" and there is also a scene that appears to show Yamazaki being stabbed.
On social media, viewers were quick to comment, saying things like, "Tada was so cool at the end, but what's that in the preview for the next episode? He's not stabbed?", "I'm sure Tadashi will be stabbed next week and my mouth will be hanging open," "Is Tadashi okay? I can't wait until next week," "It's such a shock... I can't control my emotions," and "Please, Lawyer Yamazaki (Fukka-san) be safe."
