The final episode of the TBS Friday drama "Takusari Brothers" (Fridays at 10 PM), starring actor Masaki Okada and also featuring Shota Sometani, aired on June 19th, and a comment made by Sadao (Hidekazu Nagae) became a hot topic among viewers.
◇The following contains spoilers.
Fumi (Atsuko Sendo) revealed the truth about the incident that happened 31 years ago. Sadao had used Mogi (Takashi Yamanaka), nicknamed "Mocchan," to kill Sakutaro (Masato Wada) and others in order to raise money for Fumi's surgery.
However, upon hearing Mocchan's words that Sakutaro and the others did not resist or even raise a cry, Makoto (Okada) and Minoru (Someya) deduce that they were already dead. They each race against time to uncover the truth and find the real culprit.
Eventually, because only his parents were eating yakisoba with vinegar, Minoru suspected poisoning and flew to Germany for a more detailed examination, where he discovered that the poisonous substance digitalis had been mixed in. Meanwhile, Makoto investigated the identity of "Fisherman Koji," who had been murdered by Sakutaro because the deal for the illegally manufactured guns had fallen through... When he summoned the real culprit, the person who showed up was Ashikaga Haruko (played by Igawa Haruka), also known as "Haru-chan"... "Fisherman Koji"'s real name was Ashikaga Koji. He was Haru-chan's father.
At the beginning of the incident, Haruko had heard that Koji had "fallen into the sea while drunk," but she learned from her father's notebook that "Karashima's factory" was involved. When Haruko visited Karashima Metal Industries, she overheard a conversation between Sadao and Sakutaro.
Sadao says, "Do you know about the fisherman who died at sea? He didn't drown because he was drunk. He was murdered." Sakutaro is shaken and says, "Wait... just a moment," but Sadao tries to pin the crime on Sakutaro, saying, "He died because you brought the gun back."
Haruko took the exchange seriously and began monitoring the actions of Sakutaro and his family... and that's how the truth was revealed.
Comments on social media include: "The real culprit here is Sadao," "Based on Sasaoka's confession, Karashima Sadao should be arrested too," "Sadao, you're the one who can't be forgiven," "The root of all evil," and "It pisses me off that Karashima Sadao is getting away with it."
