The 15th episode of the NHK Taiga drama "BROTHERS IN ARMS （Toyotomi Brothers!）" (NHK General, Sundays at 8pm, etc.), starring actor Taiga Nakano, aired on April 19th, and the interaction between Chika, played by Riho Yoshioka, and Koichiro, played by Nakano, attracted the attention of viewers.
"BROTHERS IN ARMS （Toyotomi Brothers!）" is the 65th Taiga drama. With Toyotomi Hidenaga (Koichiro) as the protagonist, it depicts the miraculous feat of unifying Japan together with his older brother Hideyoshi (Tokichiro) through their strong bond, a success story of dreams and hopes.
In episode 15, Nobunaga (Shun Oguri) requests reinforcements from Yoshiaki (Ukon Onoe) and Ieyasu (Kohei Matsushita ) to counterattack the Asakura and Azai clans. However, their actions are slow, as they secretly wish for Nobunaga's downfall.
Meanwhile, Koichiro and Fujikichiro (Sosuke Ikematsu) try to buy time to allow Ichi (Aoi Miyazaki) to escape, but Ichi's thoughts are with Nagamasa ( Ayumu Nakajima ) , and their plan fails. At the same time, Nobunaga begins his march into northern Omi. Facing the Asakura and Azai armies across the Anegawa River, the two armies finally face off... and the story unfolds from there.
One day, Koichiro was playing with his nephew Manmaru while telling his sister Tomo ( Emma Miyazawa) about the city. When Kei returned from somewhere and saw Koichiro playing with Manmaru, he looked awkward and tried to leave.
Koichiro called out to Kei, saying, "This is your home. There's no need to be reserved," but Kei responded curtly, "I don't like children. It's my own selfishness, so please don't worry about me." Nevertheless, Koichiro, with a somewhat complicated expression, said, "I must go to war again. Please take care of Aida and your mother while I'm away," and Kei, with her back to him, said, "Please come back safely."
Finally, Kei turned back to Koichiro and added, "It would be a hassle to be married off to someone else," which led to reactions on social media such as "Is she being a tsundere?", "Has Kei turned into a tsundere?", and "Has Don Kitsune turned into a tsundere?", but also uncertainty about whether it was Kei's dere side, "It's hard to tell... is it dere?", and "I wonder if her feelings are slowly shifting towards Koichiro?". In addition to her ambiguous attitude that didn't quite open up, some viewers were also concerned about her "I hate children" comment, leading to speculation such as "Does Kei hate children? Did something happen?", "Could Kei have lost a child?", and "Is Kei in tsundere mode...? Could it be that her child was murdered?".
