The 54th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " starring Akari Takaishi (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others) aired on December 11th. In the episode, Heaven ( Tommy Bastow) confesses his sad past and turns down Rio's (Kana Kita) marriage proposal. The scene in which Toki (Takaishi) decides to take a bold action after seeing Heaven return home in a depressed mood became a hot topic.
In episode 54, Heaven confesses his past to Rio (Kana Kita) and Nishikori (Ryo Yoshizawa). Heaven's story turns to his past marriage, and he reveals that he was once married to a woman and the mistakes he made.
Haven was fired from his job at the newspaper after marrying Martha (Misha Brooks), who has African-American roots. Feeling guilty, Martha slashed her landlord with a razor and was arrested by the police. Martha continued to do the same thing, and the two divorced. Haven confessed, "I gave up the place I wanted to stay forever with my own hands."
Heaven said, "I've stopped getting deeply involved with people. In any country, in any city, I'll just be a passerby... I won't get deeply involved with anyone. Not as a lover, a friend, or anyone. That's what I've decided," and turned down Rio's proposal, saying, "I'm sorry."
Heaven returns home devastated and releases the white-eye that Rio gave her as a gift from its cage. Seeing this, Toki realizes that the engagement is off, even though he doesn't know why, and tries to smash the hot water bottle Rio gave him with a big rock. Heaven hurriedly stops him, and the two share a laugh.
Toki's bold action drew comments such as, "Toki is the best," "It all works out well with the funny Toki-chan," "I'm glad Heaven-sensei laughed... the heavy atmosphere changed in an instant," "Without even realizing it, they connected with each other and became important to each other," and "Even though they can't speak the same language, they can connect with each other's hearts."
