The 25th episode of the NHK morning drama series " Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka, aired on May 1st, and the first appearance of Burns (Asadora Howard) at the end became a hot topic among viewers.
Rin (Mikami) and Naomi (Uesaka) enroll in nursing school. However, the Scottish teacher has not yet arrived in Japan, so Rin and the other seven first-year students are divided into two groups to translate a book by Florence Nightingale.
After the first-year students finished presenting their translations, they were filled with anticipation, wondering, "What kind of teacher will she be?" and "She's come all the way to Japan to teach nursing, so she must be a very kind person." Just then, Burns arrived from Scotland.
Burns suddenly appeared before the first-year students and reprimanded them, saying, "Pull yourself together!" The episode ended with a shot of Burns' stern expression accompanied by Makaze's (Ken Naoko's) narration, "A messenger from heaven has descended."
On social media, comments included: "I have high expectations for Mr. Burns," "He looks imposing," "Mr. Burns seems scary," "He looks really strict," "What is it about Mr. Burns that gives off the feeling of a final boss," "He has an overwhelming presence that silences everyone around him in an instant," "Is he like Miss Rottenmeier from 'Heidi, Girl of the Alps'?", and "He reminds me of Principal Blackburn from 'Hanako to Anne'."
