The 17th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and other times), in which Akari Takaishi plays the heroine, was broadcast on October 21st, and featured the first appearance of Ryo Yoshizawa Yuichi, Matsue's most brilliant student, played by Yoshizawa Ryo, which became a hot topic among viewers.
In episode 17, Toki (Takaishi) visits Tokyo in search of Ginjiro (Kanichiro), who has run away from home. When Toki arrives at the boarding house where Ginjiro lives, she cannot hide her nervousness as she stands in front of his room. She makes up her mind and says, "Sorry to come out of the blue. I know it's a bit of a hassle, but could I meet you?" However, there is no response from inside the room. Toki continues to call out desperately.
The sliding door then slid open, revealing Nishikori, a grim-faced man who said, "Shut up! Who are you?" Nishikori coldly replied, "Ginjiro's not here at work. Go home," and closed the door. Toki still refused to give up, so Nishikori told him, "Please, I'm busy right now," and asked, "Are you Ginjiro's sister or something?" Toki replied, "No, I'm Toki, Ginjiro's wife," to which Nishikori muttered, "Wife...? So he has a wife," and went back into the room. Toki fussed, "At least tell me where he works," so Nishikori shouted, "Shut up!" and tried to close the door, saying, "He's a rickshaw driver. I don't know where he is. Well then," but Toki desperately resisted.
Nishikori tells him, "I told you I was busy right now, right? By busy, I mean... busy," but when he sees Toki's legs covered in wounds from the long journey, he invites him into his room. Nishikori hands him some ointment and tells him to "put this on and then leave," but Toki falls asleep, exhausted from the long journey.
Nishikori tried to wake Toki, saying, "Hey, don't sleep. Wake up," but Toki wouldn't wake up. "Unbelievable," said Nishikori in shock. Toki suddenly cried out, happily saying, "I'm paralyzed," and then said, "Sorry..." before lying down and falling asleep, snoring loudly. Nishikori was confused and said, "What?!"
Nishikori, played by Yoshizawa, is Matsue's most brilliant student. He is also known as "Daibanjaku" (Great Standing Stone). He works as an English teacher at Matsue Junior High School and supports Heaven, who has come to Matsue as a foreign teacher. He also becomes acquainted with Toki through a strange connection and becomes deeply involved with her.
On social media, people were saying things like, "When the door opened, it was Ryo Yoshizawa! I was like, 'Ahhh!' Aahhh!", "It wasn't Ginjiro-san, an incredibly handsome man came out (lol)", "It was so dazzling to start the morning", "Ryo Yoshizawa's character is funny lol", "Ryo Yoshizawa is unexpectedly using Shinjiro syntax lol", and "Ryo Yoshizawa is suddenly using Shinjiro syntax lol".
