The ninth episode of the TBS Sunday drama "Reboot," starring Ryohei Suzuki, aired on March 22nd (Sundays at 9 PM). Many theories are circulating among viewers regarding characters who have yet to appear.
◇The following contains spoilers.
In episode 9, cornered, Hayase (Suzuki) and Natsumi (Toda Erika) visit Makita (Ito Hideaki) and ask for his cooperation. However, Hayase is captured by Fuyuhashi (Nagase Ren), and Natsumi, who was trying to get Goroku (Kitamura Yukiya) arrested, also finds herself in dire straits due to Makita's (Ito Hideaki) betrayal.
In Gido's room, with a gun pointed at him by Fuyuhashi, Hayase desperately pleads, "You don't want to kill anyone, do you? You just want to help someone, right? Do you think Machi would be happy if I did this?" Moved by Hayase's words, Fuyuhashi tries to make it seem like Hayase escaped on his own, but at that moment, Kiriya (played by Fujisawa Ryoka) and Kikuchi (played by Tsukaji Takeya) enter on the orders of Goroku, who had been prepared for the betrayal.
Kikuchi said, "You were trying to let that person escape just now, weren't you, Fuyuhashi?", and as Kikuchi's henchmen pointed their guns at Fuyuhashi and Hayase, two gunshots rang out, ending the episode.
The series will air its final episode on March 29th, but "Chairman Ma," a Hong Kong underworld figure who is also a big spender for Goroku, has not yet made an appearance. Comments on social media include: "Is there a possibility that Tsukaji is Chairman Ma or a spy?", "It's a waste to only use Tsukaji's talent like that, so I think it's plausible that Kikuchi is Chairman Ma," "I think the person wearing sunglasses is related to Chairman Ma," and "Chairman Ma or someone close to him must be nearby."
