Tomokazu Seki and Reiji Kawashima Learn the 'Way of a Gentleman'! The Out-of-Control MC Duo Gets a Storm of Retorts.

In this episode, the segment "Polish Your Heart Too! Let's Learn the Ways of a Gentleman!" was carried out, marking the completion of the jacket.In this project, which welcomed manners consultant Hiroko Nishide—who also provides guidance on deportment for films and dramas—the hosts learned conduct and manners to become "gentlemen" not just in appearance but in substance. In this segment, the hosts' behavior and remarks in various situations, ranging from business scenes to dates, were graded by Ms. Nishide.

According to the staff, the project was proposed because they felt that "Seki seems somewhat knowledgeable about manners, but Kawashima is a bit of a concern."However, Seki himself expressed anxiety, saying, "I'm not exactly knowledgeable about manners either. I think the project is banking on a contrast where they go, 'Kawashima fails, but Seki is brilliant!' but I think both of us will end up being the punchline." He added, "I feel like a heavy body blow is coming: 'You're over 50 and you don't even know that?' It's scary." Hearing this, Kawashima grinned and commented, "This might be a rare project where Seki-san takes the damage."

Taking to heart Ms. Nishide's words, "A gentleman is someone with a considerate heart for others!" the two immediately took on the mission.In the first scenario, "Greeting a Business Client," they received a decent evaluation for their polite exchange and favorable demeanor. However, Kawashima handed over the gift confectionery "still in the bag," which even drew a wry smile from Ms. Nishide.

The second scenario was themed "A Senior/Junior Hamburger Lunch." While Kawashima showed off his "junior power" with his natural charm, Seki committed an act of "theft," quietly sneaking a handful of fries without Kawashima noticing.Ms. Nishide initially highly praised Seki's consideration for his junior in the first half, saying, "That is truly the heart of a gentleman, pure consideration. It was outstanding." However, she couldn't help but interject regarding the "theft incident," exclaiming, "I had such high expectations, but what was that halfway through?!" His score was a surprising 2 points. Seki justified himself by saying, "I'm sorry, I just love fries too much..." and "I thought it would be fine if he didn't notice (laughs)." This drew a flood of retorts and laughter from viewers, with comments like, "It's a skit, lol," "French fry thief, lol," and "This is a manners test, right? lol."

The final mission, a "Restaurant Date Simulation," was Kawashima's challenge.Kawashima displayed an awkward yet earnest approach in guiding his partner to the seat upon entry, pulling out the chair, and checking if she could drink alcohol. However, he let slip a completely unnecessary comment, saying, "The waiter/waitress is cute," which caused Ms. Nishide's anger gauge to immediately skyrocket.Though he tried desperately to recover, it was too late. Finishing the mission, Ms. Nishide commented, "Overall, it's minus 10 points. I intended to give 100 points, but my anger is coming back (laughs)," which sent the studio into an uproar of laughter. Seki added to the humor with a harsh retort, "That was terrible, truly terrible."Nevertheless, Ms. Nishide praised Kawashima for his youthful charm and sincerity, concluding, "You had minus points, but you had a heart that surpassed them," and "Your consideration was wonderful. Fundamentally, the most important thing about table manners is to make the occasion enjoyable." Hearing this, Kawashima smiled with a look of relief.

Reflecting on the manners course, Seki and Kawashima commented, "Wow, that was fun!" and "Manners are truly profound." With the two having started their journey down the path of a gentleman, the Yoasobi-style "Gentleman's Etiquette Course," full of learning and laughter, came to a close.
