Tagusari Brothers:What is the meaning of the dripping "blood"? A debate ensues over whether it means "he's still alive."

◇The following contains spoilers.

Fumi (Atsuko Sendo) reveals the truth about the incident that happened 31 years ago. After hearing from "Mocchan," or Mogi (Takashi Yamanaka), that Sakutaro (Masato Wada) and the others didn't resist or even cry out, Makoto (Okada) and Minoru (Sometani) deduce that their parents were already dead. They each race against time to uncover the truth and find the real culprit using their own methods.

Eventually, because only his parents were eating yakisoba with vinegar, Minoru suspects poisoning and flies to Germany for a more detailed examination, where he discovers that the poisonous substance digitalis had been mixed in. Meanwhile, Makoto investigates the identity of "Fisherman Koji," who was murdered by Sakutaro after a deal for illegally manufactured guns fell through...

Minoru and Makoto summoned the real culprit. The person who showed up was Haruko Ashikaga, also known as "Haru-chan" (played by Haruka Igawa)... The real name of "Fisherman Koji" was Koji Ashikaga. He was Haru-chan's father.

"I think I probably wanted to be judged by Makoto and Minoru," Haruko said, and Minoru pointed a gun at her. Makoto took the gun, saying, "I'll take over," and pointed it at Haruko with tears streaming down his face. A gunshot rang out in the harbor, and blood began to drip...and that's how the scene unfolded.

On social media, various theories are flying around, such as "What is that blood?", "Haruko isn't dead. I think Makoto and Minoru have forgiven her", "With that much blood, Haruko isn't dead. She was fishing. The brothers turned themselves in", "Judging from the amount of blood, Haruko was probably shot in the arm. She was fishing at the end too", "Did the Koike team not make it in time?", and "Maybe they missed a vital spot... so I think Haruko is still alive."
