Is Yoroi-san Actually Him? Anime Chiikawa Ep. 140: Chiikawa and Hachiware Look Adorable Cheering for Muchau-man's Return

In Episode 140 of the Chiikawa anime, Chiikawa (CV: Haruka Aoki) gets another chance to take a photo with Muchau-man (CV: Hiroki Tochi). The episode depicts Chiikawa and Hachiware (CV: Makoto Tanaka) getting all fired up for the big moment.

In Episode 139, a stage show was held for Muchau-man—the hero Chiikawa admires—but the shy Chiikawa was unable to join the photo session and ended up feeling dejected. Episode 140 begins with Rōdō no Yoroi-san (CV: Hiroki Tochi) encouraging Chiikawa, saying, "Well, you might just get another chance to take a photo..." before walking away.

Usagi (CV: Ari Ozawa), who is fully enjoying the event, joins the other two while casually munching on a soft-serve ice cream. Just then, Muchau-man's theme song begins to play, and the hero himself comes rushing toward the stall area where Chiikawa and his friends are waiting. Seeing this, Hachiware shouts, "A chance... this is our chance!!!" and Chiikawa nods back with a look of pure determination.

In response to this scene, fans flooded social media with words of encouragement, such as "Chiikawa! Hachiware! Grab this chance!" and "Go for it, Chiikawa!" At the same time, many comments focused on Yoroi-san, with fans speculating, "The timing is too perfect—is he really the one inside?" and praising him by saying, "Yoroi-san is so cool for cheering Chiikawa up."
