The 108th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Akari Takaishi, was broadcast on March 4th. In the episode, viewers were drawn to the excitement of Tsukasanosuke(Takashi Okabe) and Fumi (Chizuru Ikewaki) as they discovered that Toki (Takaishi) was pregnant.
On the way home from Ran's (Misako Renbutsu) house, Toki is unable to move. He is taken to the hospital by Takeru (Sugita Rairin) and Masaki (Yukito Hidaka), who happen to be passing by, and is examined. Toki is worried that he may have a serious illness, but after the examination he learns that he has been blessed with a new life.
When Takeru and Masaki return home, they tell Fumi and Tsukasanosuke that they have taken Toki to the hospital. When Masaki says, "It doesn't seem like he was sick," Fumi looks as if she has realised something and heads off to see Toki.
Fumi asks Toki, "Maybe... it's a gift, isn't it?" "I thought so...?" Toki replies, "I guess so...", and Fumi runs up to him, bursting into joy, saying, "That's great!" Fumi says, "Stop being so stingy! You should have told me before I asked you!" and hugs Toki in tears.
Just then, Tsukasanosuke and the others arrive. Urged by Fumi to speak for herself, Toki announces, "I'm pregnant... with a baby."Tsukasanosuke is thrilled, saying, "Yes! You did it, well done!" He praises Toki, saying, "But it's amazing...!" and "You've done something incredible!" He then says, "I'm glad for you, Fumi," and shares his joy at Toki's pregnancy with Fumi.
Comments on social media included, "I was moved to tears by Ofumi and Tsukasanosuke's explosion of joy," "My tear ducts collapsed...," "This must be an incredibly happy thing for these two," "Ofumi and Tsukasanosuke's performance of joy as a couple who had not been able to conceive was amazing...," "I cried at the love between Tsukasanosuke and Ofumi," "It was great to see how they really care for their family," and "Tsukasanosuke and Fumi were unable to have children. Fumi in particular must have been worried for a long time. You could really feel that."
