The sixth episode of the TBS Sunday Theatre drama "Reboot" (Sundays at 9pm), starring Suzuki Ryohei, was broadcast on March 1st, and viewers were shocked by the shocking developments.
◇The following contains spoilers.
Episode 6 is billed as "The Final Chapter of Chapter 1." Gido (Suzuki) goes alone to Goroku's (Kitamura Yukiya) house to rescue his wife, Mayu (Kuroki Meisa), but is captured. Hayase (Suzuki) goes into enemy territory not as a "police officer" but as a man to save both Gido and Mayu, but is captured.
In front of Goroku, Gido and Ichika (Toda Erika) each claim to be the culprit behind the 10 billion yen robbery, but Goroku tries to kill Hayase, who has the same face as Gido and was caught stealing on a security camera. Ichika then says that she will find out the hiding place from Gido and wants to talk to him alone. Gido and Ichika enter the storage room together, but when Gido learns that Mayu is being held hostage, Ichika asks him for something.
Gido comes out and declares that he is the culprit who stole 10 billion yen. He tries to fight back, but is shot dead. Goroku then coldly commands Hayase, "Now, I'd like to ask the new Gido to do his first job. Please bury this man."
The turn of events was so shocking that viewers were quick to express their shock, with comments such as "It's so sad," "I can't wait," "I thought it was a plan to pretend he was dead, but he was actually killed!", "This reboot is such a sudden turn of events," and "If he's not dead, surely Tsuda has been rebooted again???" There were also comments such as "What kind of request would Ichika have if he could have chosen to die?"
