“Anti-Hero” main character’s “defeat development” shocks the internet: “No way” “I can’t predict this” | ORICON NEWS

The third episode of the TBS Sunday theater “Anti-Hero” (every Sunday at 9:00 p.m.), starring actor Hiroki Hasegawa, was broadcast on the 28th, in which Meibumi (Hasegawa) deals with the violent incident of a politician’s son. Midorikawa (Yoshino Kimura) stands in his way as the prosecutor in charge.

The suspect, Tomita (Ryo Tajima), had committed violent incidents in the past, and Akamine (Takumi Kitamura) was unable to prove the innocence of Matsunaga (Yoshihiko Hosoda), a convenience store clerk who was falsely accused. Therefore, Akamine started investigating this incident based on the hypothesis that Tomita was the culprit and that his politician father was trying to cover it up. Akamine is dismissed by Meibumi, saying, “The reason Mr. Matsunaga was found guilty was your fault as the defense attorney.”

However, Akamine’s reading was “almost” correct, and Myosumi was connected to Tomita’s father and was complicit in covering up the incident. The only difference was that Meiboku induced Tomita’s side to destroy evidence, and set the stage for that fact to come to light during the trial.

In addition, Myosumi did not protect Tomita, but cut Shira off by saying, “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the video. I can’t believe he was trying to cover up his crime…” and asked Midorikawa, who was in conflict, “Thank you for exposing my client’s lies.” Thank you.” He bowed his head.

Viewers reacted to the main character’s “defeat” with comments such as “An unexpected ending” and “I can’t believe he lost on purpose…I can’t predict this.” Later, when it became clear that Meimoku’s motive for defending this incident was Akamine’s “avenging his enemy,” he said, “I can’t stand Meimoku’s way of acting,” and “Mr. Akamine is that important to Meimoku.” Comments such as “What is that?” and “I got a glimpse of Meiboku’s parental love” were received.

The conviction rate in Japanese criminal trials is said to be 99.9%. The main character, a lawyer, is not the sort of savior who searches for the “evidence of innocence” hidden in the remaining 0.1% and saves his client. Even if there is 100% evidence that he is a criminal, he is an “anti” lawyer who can acquit even a murderer. He can hardly be called a hero, he is an extremely dark and dangerous person. This work transcends the framework of a “lawyer drama” and asks viewers, through the antihero played by Hiroki Hasegawa, “What exactly is justice?” and “Are the things that are considered evil in the world really bad?” ” and overturns common sense one after another with speedy development. Good and evil switch places, and good people become bad. We will deliver unprecedented reverse paradox entertainment, just like the butterfly effect.
