TBS's live morning show "Lavvit!" (Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM) was broadcast on February 6th, and a popular idol dressed as "Baikinman" became a hot topic.
On this day, the "100 Times More Energetic New Face! Challenge" was held, where participants joined forces to save the heroes. Teams of four people were formed, with three playing the role of Batako, who throws out Anpanman's new face, and the remaining one playing the role of Baikinman, who obstructs the opposing team. The time limit was 100 seconds, and participants competed to see who could throw out the new face and replace it with the dull face in the fastest time.
The role of "Baikinman" was played by Hikorohee, Aki Suda of "Cho Tokimeki Sendenbu" and Nika Sakai. Suda, holding a bamboo sword, desperately prevented the switch to a new face, achieving the remarkable feat of holding out until there was "0 seconds" remaining, contributing to the team's victory.
On social media, comments such as "Baikinman and the others are too cute," "Nika and Aiki are so precious, wearing tracksuits and swinging bamboo swords in the morning," "They're so cute!", "Aiki was protecting Kawaguchi Yoshikatsu just as well as he did back then," and "Aiki's blocking was seriously amazing!" have been posted.
