The Apothecary Diaries season 3 drew 3.6%. Debut episodes of The Vermilion Mask and Dragon Ball Super: Beerus scored 3.1% and 2.8%. Doraemon took 2.6%, a Demon Slayer rebroadcast 2.5%, Crayon Shin-chan 2.3%, Bluey 1.9% and Animated O-saru no George 1.8%.","whyItMatters":"Both debut episodes, The Vermilion Mask at 3.1% and Dragon Ball Super: Beerus at 2.8%, entered below the 3.6% that The Apothecary Diaries season 3 drew in its Friday 23:00 slot, so the week's new titles sit under an established series rather than near the weekend evening leaders.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe ranking covers households in Japan\u0026#39;s Kanto region and comes from Video Research survey data.
