Until now, the domineering Katsu has never taken any action himself, instead giving instructions to his wife Yoko (Ikezu Yoshiko) as if it were a matter of course.
In the final episode, while eating out with his granddaughter, Matori (played by Washio Shinyo), Katsu hands Yoko a bowl and says, "I'm out of food." However, Yoko is on a video call with Katsuo and ignores him. Katsu retorts, "Hey," but then says, "Oh well," and stands up to serve himself some food.
Yoko then handed her bowl to Katsu, saying, "Oh, then mine too." Katsu had no choice but to accept Yoko's bowl, and went to get refills with both bowls.
Katsu piles Yoko's bowl full of food and asks, "Hey, is this all the food you want?" Yoko is surprised at the amount, but she kindly thanks Katsu, saying, "Yes, it's fine. Thank you."
On social media, people were excited, saying things like, "Dad has changed! And now he's giving Mom a huge portion!", "I felt the love when Katsuo's dad brought a huge portion of rice for his mom," "It was kind of cute how Katsuo's dad piled it up like in a fairy tale," "What was great was how Katsuo's dad served his mom a huge portion of rice. It was the ultimate expression of love," and "Both Fossil Dad and Fossil Mom have evolved." Some people even said, "If there's a sequel, I'd really like to see Minamikawa (played by Kyoka) and Katsuo's dad interact this time."
