Reiji Kawashima Spills Shocking (or Radical!?) New Episode: "I've Started Seeing a Bank Balance of 'Zero'!"

Defeating the historical MC!? Examining Reiji Kawashima's "Foolish" Level

Additionally, a corner titled "What's Reiji's Foolishness Level? Historical Yo Asobi Common Sense Quiz" was conducted within the program. With two broadcasts already, Kawashima had already been suspected of being foolish. In this segment, they assessed how he compared to previous foolish Yo Asobi MCs by posing questions that had troubled them in the past.

Initially, a video of previous foolish MCs, mainly Shugo Nakamura and Tasuku Hatanaka, was shown, and Kawashima declared excitedly, "Can I really go ahead with this?" However, he got the first question wrong, which was "Who is the novelist who wrote 'Run, Melos'?"—a question that appears even in elementary school language textbooks. Furthermore, in the geography question "Color in 5 prefectures with the word 'island' in their name," he only managed to guess one, causing a stir in the studio.

Seki, after seeing comments from viewers, stated, "The viewers are starting to think, 'Maybe he's a monster!'", "The shock is strong, so we'll examine this step by step," indicating a thorough examination of his foolishness level.

The final question of the day, previously posed to Tasuku Hatanaka, was "Use the tools in the studio to retrieve peanuts placed in a narrow tube." Although chimpanzees solved it, Hatanaka couldn't, leaving the studio shocked. Kawashima attempted various methods, saying, "I'm a physical type," with forceful sucking and hitting, but couldn't retrieve them, exclaiming, "Wow, this is hard!"

Looking around the studio, he seemed to realize something, exclaiming, "Buoyancy!" and successfully retrieved the peanuts by floating them with water. He proved that he was not as foolish as Hatanaka, and with his sights on the next test, he enthusiastically declared, "Defeat Mr. Shugo!" electrifying the studio.
