"Was It 'Muniyamu'?" Hachiware, Who Can't Remember the Official Name, and Chiikawa, Frightened by Fishing Bait, Are Too Cute! Episode 171 of "Chiikawa"

In Episode 171 of the anime "Chiikawa", an adorable scene was depicted where Chiikawa (CV: Haruka Aoki) gets frightened by the fishing bait "mealworms," while Hachiware (CV: Makoto Tanaka) struggles to remember the official name for "mealworms," drawing significant attention.

At the beginning of Episode 171, Hachiware hands bait for the fishing hook to Chiikawa, who came along for fishing. Upon receiving it, Chiikawa screams in fear at the bait wriggling "uzo-uzo-uzo." Seeing this, Hachiware nonchalantly asks, "Was it not your thing? Muniyamu."

Far from focusing on the name, in front of Chiikawa who is terrified of the fishing bait, Hachiware tries to recall the official name saying, "Huh... Muni... Mini..." Finally, he arrives at the name "mealworms." Viewers' attention was drawn to Hachiware's unique mispronunciation and his desperate attempt to remember.

Reactions to this scene included comments from viewers like, "Maybe 'Muniyamu' should just be the official name at this point" and "I love Hachiware-chan's mispronunciation series!", as well as impressions like "Frightened Chiikawa-chan is way too cute."
