VIVANT’s penultimate episode adds a surprise voice cameo and new clues
VIVANT’s second season aired its 23rd episode on November 1, with the finale due next.
The Japanese drama follows agent Yusuke Nogi, played by Masato Sakai, as he tries to protect Jamīn, a girl linked to nuclear-fusion research.
Nogi’s enemies seize Jamīn and Kaoru, and he chooses to go to their rescue, despite the risk that Kaoru will learn he belongs to the intelligence unit Beppan.
Voice actor Toshio Furukawa, known for playing Piccolo in Dragon Ball, made a surprise appearance as the voice of researcher Elisha Mamadov.
Nogi also visits his family home in Okuizumo, where his cousin Reiko appears as the old family storehouse is being dismantled.
The storehouse and Reiko’s brief appearance prompted speculation among viewers, but no hidden disk or other secret was confirmed.
