Petero no Souretsu Ep. 11 Final

It's supposed to be a "happy ending" for everyone.  However, we can't help wondering "So what were that bus-jacking and Nissho Frontier scamming organization all about?"  Many things need more explanations.  

This episode focuses on individuals rather than incidents.  It's the aftermath of all the incidents that took place before.

Petero no Souretsu Ep.10

The end is near.  The final episode is next week.  Perhaps this episode's incident is just a prelude to what is to come; something really big.

It's the second bus-jacking.  One of the first bus-jacking hostages, Sakamoto is the bus-jacker, and Mano Kyouko, the mysterious woman who may be a big liar is the hostage this time.  Are they both evil?   Will they be like Petero who committed a big sin, but regretted for what he has done, reformed himself and became a saint?

Petero No Souretsu Ep.9

We know more about the bus-jacker, but still don't know why he did it or for what.  Is "evilness" spreading?  Are those who were involved in the bus-jacking getting bad?

Petero no Souretsu Ep.7

What will you do if someone gives you a large amount of money for no reason?  Will you make a reason to justify?  Will you return the money because you think you don't deserve it?  

Does "evilness spread" as in Sugimura's narrations which we heard so many times?

 This week, we know more about the editor-in-chief, which explains her devastation after the bus jack.  We still don't know how things and people we see in this drama are connected.

Petero no Souretsu Ep.3

 Here's another drama that is intriguing and mysterious.  We see things happening only on the surface, and don't know what those happenings are all about.  Is this a game somebody is playing in order to hurt some individuals?  Are all the passengers involved in this game or did they "just" happen to be on that bus?

New Summer J-drama (1): Petero no Souretsu

2014 summer j-dramas are starting.  TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting Station) is into crime dramas this season.  Both "Petero no Soretsu" and "Kazoku Gari" are about crimes, and how an ordinary man gets involved in the crimes. 

In the 1st episode of Petero no Souretsu (Funeral Procession of Peter), the leading man (played by Koizumi Koutaro) became one of the six hostages in a bus-jack.  The reason why an old man committed the bus-jack is still not clear.
