The 24th episode of the NHK Asadora"Bakebake " (Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and other times), in which Akari Takaishi plays the heroine, was broadcast on October 30th, and included a scene in which Nishikori ( Ryo Yoshizawa) talked about the current situation of Toki's (Takaishi) ex-husband, Ginjiro (Kanichiro), which became a hot topic among viewers.
In episode 24, Heaven (Tommy Bastow) escapes from Nishikori through the back door of the Hanada Inn. Toki sees Nishikori in trouble and decides to help him search for Heaven.
Toki then asks Nishikori about Ginjiro's recent situation, "I wonder what he's doing now?" Nishikori mutters, "I thought you'd ask me about it someday..." and replies, "Actually... I hardly know anything about him."
However, according to letters from Wakamiya (Tanaka Toru) and Negishi (Kitano Hideki), who were living with him at the boarding house, Ginjiro was "doing well," and Nishikori explained, "There's no doubt about that." Nishikori apologized, saying, "I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help," to which Toki replied, "No, at least I'm glad to know that you're doing well."
On social media, various comments were posted, such as "I'm glad to see that Ginjiro is doing well," "I'm glad that he's doing well. I'm relieved," "Otoki-chan is curious about Ginjiro and has always wanted to ask him," "I hope he's happy," "Nishikori seemed to have difficulty speaking, so maybe he already has a wife," and "Will Ginjiro make a reappearance?"
