The 110th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on March 6th, and viewers were drawn to the preview of the 23rd episode, "Gobusata, Nishikoorisan." (February 2nd to 6th), which was released after the main program.
In episode 110, six months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Toki (Takaishi) is due to give birth. Heaven ( Tommy Bastow), Tsukasanosuke(Takashi Okabe), Takeru (Rairin Sugita), and Masaki (Yukito Hidaka) pray for a safe delivery and fire a gun at the pillar of the house. With Fumi (Chizuru Ikewaki), Kuma (Toru Natsume), and the midwife (Fukiko Hara) looking on, Toki and Heaven's child is finally born... and that's how it unfolds.
The preview for the next week, Week 23, which was released after the broadcast, begins with Heaven calling out, "Nishikoori-san!" As the front door opens, Heaven stares at Nishikori's face for a while before bowing and saying, "Gobsata, Nishikoori-san." A shadowy image of Nishikori's back is shown in the foreground of the screen, and Nishikori bows and says, "It's been a while."
This will be Nishikori's first appearance in about four weeks since episode 95 (broadcast on February 13th). Comments on social media included, "Just watching the preview makes me want to cry," "It's too ominous," "Next week's preview is like, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore," "The latest news on Nishikori is just from his back, with an ominous aura attached to it, so it's painful to watch next week but scared, but I want to watch it, but scared," "The previews involving Nishikori are extremely heavy in proportion to our love for him," "Just from his back you can imagine what state he is in," and "Nishikori is making our hearts flutter again with just the preview...!!!"
