Kumiko Tashiro Returns to VIVANT Episode 21 With a Plan to Save Nogi
The rescue now sits with a Caucasus-region operative and what local Betsupan staff know, because the pursuit has become a police encirclement in territory Nogi's own team does not control.
Reporting from 1 source: Cinema Today.
Episode 21 of TBS's Sunday drama VIVANT airs on October 18 and brings back Kumiko Tashiro, the Betsupan operative played by singer-songwriter Reiya Mada. Tashiro, who handles the Caucasus region, met Yusuke Nogi (Masato Sakai) in episode 18. In the new episode, Nogi and Nokor (Kazunari Ninomiya) face a manhunt after freeing Kurosu (Tori Matsuzaka) and other Betsupan members from Shaki Castle, and Tashiro devises a local plan to reach them.
Tashiro joined the Ground Self-Defense Force in 2007 and completed its psychological warfare defense course in 2009. When she met Nogi in episode 18, she pledged to give full effort in a rear support role.
Episode 21 tests that pledge. Han Rin-shin, who heads the rival Shin Shin, learns that Nogi's group has freed Kurosu and the other Betsupan members from Shaki Castle, and local police under Shin Shin's orders close a wide net around them. A diversion planned by Blue Walker and others fails to fool Shin Shin. Tashiro's answer is a scheme built on what local Betsupan members know, with the drama airing Sundays at 9pm on TBS.
