The 68th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on January 7th, and viewers were drawn to the unexpected behavior of Kan'emon ( Fumiyo Kohinata).
Toki (Takaishi) finally tells her family that she is going to be with Heaven (Tommy Bastow). At first, Tsukasanosuke(Takashi Okabe), Fumi (Chizuru Ikewaki), and Kan'emon don't take it seriously, thinking it's a joke, but as they see Toki's behavior, they gradually come to terms with the reality.
Toki was prepared for strong opposition from Kan'emon, who hated foreigners, but Kan'emon surprisingly replied, "Yes!" and "If you like it, then there's nothing I can do about it. I have no intention of stopping my daughter from having such feelings."
He then mutters, "We are like boars... We are wild boars... We charge ahead recklessly," and goes to Tatsu (Asaka Mayumi) and proposes, "Let's live together." Tatsu accepts, saying, "I've been waiting for this," and Kan'emon bows his head and says, "Thank you very much!"Tsukasanosuke is surprised, saying, "Is this a dream?" and "I can't keep up with my feelings."
On social media, people were saying things like, "What a heart-warming development!", "Congratulations to the grandfather!", "He's changed since falling in love," "I was surprised and didn't expect the grandfather to successfully propose," "I'm glad that the grandfather's love has come to fruition," "I realized that all the long-running depiction of the grandfather becoming increasingly love-sick was for this day," and "Is this where the grandfather's love really comes into play?"
