Back Gesture Game, Loud Noise Challenge... Morikubo, Okamoto, and Fukunishi Struggle with Intense Projects!?

Following this, the three transformed into foremen to encourage downcast program staff in the "Foremen need strong words too! Staff Encouragement Challenge." Surprisingly, the judges were program staff themselves, which led Morikubo to murmur, "Mr. Onishi's presence just vanished..."

The first consultation from the program staff of "I haven't liked anyone for over 10 years" was met by Okamoto’s "That's why the profession of voice acting and the existence of anime exist, find your favorite character and fall for it," with a 'foreman-styled' cheer. Later, Okamoto added, "I think it's about meeting honestly. Forcing yourself to find someone isn’t right." Listening beside him, Morikubo interjected to the program staff, "Add a punchline!"

Next, the question "I don't know how to close the gap with the performers, last week I put cat ears on Mr. Morikubo and he got mad at me..." was met by Fukunishi sticking close to the program staff, full "gal mode," and responded with "He's just embarrassed!" It's a comment full of Fukunishi's flavor that livened up the program.

Finally, the consultation "I think I might not have talent for variety programs..." prompted Morikubo’s raw advice "You don't have talent, you'll create it from now! Get rubbed, it's trial and error over and over! Let's have fun, that's enough." This led Okamoto to exclaim, "That's an incredibly good piece of advice," as Fukunishi agreed, "He’s hit the nail on the head."

However, Morikubo said, "I'm not good at encouraging people." Okamoto asked, “Please judge whose encouragement resonated most.” The program staff replied, "Mr. Morikubo!" Morikubo, bursting into laughter, responded "No, no, no... Scary, scary, scary... It's like I'm just pressuring you!" Finally, Morikubo told the program staff, "It was the project you all wanted to do! The one most in trouble is Mr. Onishi!" Meanwhile, Okamoto added, "Honestly, when I first saw the plan, I wondered how it would turn out... Let’s keep trial-and-erroring this project." With that, the project somehow concluded. So, who truly deserves the title of foreman for Saturday's MC?
