The seventh episode of the TV drama "Broadcasting Station Occupy" (Nippon TV, Saturdays at 9pm), starring Sakurai Sho, was broadcast on August 23rd, revealing the true identity of the armed group Ayakashi, Wanyudo.
◇The following contains spoilers.
The drama is the third installment of the "Occupation Series," in which Sakurai plays the hot-blooded detective Musashi. The story is set one year after the previous film, "Occupation of the New Airport."
In episode 7, Musashi discovers the reason why his brother-in-law, Ibuki (Kato Seishiro), has turned into a demon, but the occupation incident is not over yet. Ibuki goes out of control and imprisons his comrade, Yamato (Fuma Kikuchi), in a freezer. Yamato will die if he is not rescued within 90 minutes.
After much conflict, Musashi decides to "save Yamato." Why did Yamato, who should have achieved his goal in the hospital takeover incident, help the demons? To find out, he cannot let Yamato die...
In order to interrogate the head of security, Yashiro (Takahashi Katsunori), the commander, Honjo (Kumi Takiuchi), tells all investigators, "I'm now handing over command to Chief Musashi! Hurry and identify where Yamato Koichi is being held captive!"
Meanwhile, at the TV station, Ibuki and the other demons begin to work towards their "true purpose." Meanwhile, the hostages, upon learning that Ibuki and Yuko (Manami Higa) are siblings, point a scalpel at Yuko and pressure the demons to release them.
The reason Yamato lent a hand to the demons was because Nopperabo had killed Oshima Hitomi (Kanishi Seira), who looked up to him like an older brother. However, one month earlier, the monk Hachijo Go (Haranishi Takayuki), who had lost his daughter Junko in the Kamaitachi incident, was tricked by Nopperabo into barricading himself in a bus and committing suicide. Mourning Hachijo's death, Ibuki, against Yamato's refusal to condone murder, shot Nopperabo dead and banished Yamato from the demons. After learning everything, Musashi rescued Yamato from the freezer and told him, "You and I will stop Ibuki."
The true identity of Wan-nyudo was Hachijo, the culprit who hijacked a bus in the first episode, was cornered by the police, and killed himself by blowing up the bus along with it. The following is a comment from Takayuki Haranishi of the comedy duo "FUJIWARA," who plays Hachijo:
◇Comment from Takayuki Haranishi
I'm Haranishi, who played the role of Hachijo, also known as Wan-nyudo. Initially, my manager told me that the role was a bus hijacker who dies in the first episode, so I never expected it to be such an important role, and I did my best to play it.
In the analysis video, it was said that the jaw visible from the Rin-Ryuudou mask looks like an old man's, and it's actually quite embarrassing. After watching episode 7 today, please watch episode 1 again; you'll enjoy it even more!
