In Episode 13, broadcast on August 9, Nogi Yusuke (Masato Sakai) secured custody of former Public Security officer Shinjo (Ryuto Dragon Star), who confessed after torture that he had not sold information on the five Separate Unit members. Producer Iida said the reactions on social media, from friends, and from family were \"truly chaos, unlike anything before,\" and recalled letting out an \"Ehhh!\" when first reading the script. He also praised Ryuto's performance in the torture scene, noting his extraordinary determination on the filming day. Director Katsuo Fukuzawa had said before Season 1 production that Shinjo would be a key figure in the sequel, and Iida offered Ryuto the role. Meanwhile, the post-broadcast radio program \"Villain Meeting Room\" on TBS Radio and YouTube featured actor Takaya Sakata as Yamamoto, mimicking Nogi's scream \"Nozaki-san ga!!\" and being scolded by Wanzu (Yamato Kawachi), which drew laughter from fans.","whyItMatters":"The producer's comments confirm that the traitor reveal was designed to shock even the cast, and the radio segment's popularity shows the villains' limited knowledge is a deliberate comedic counterpoint to the drama's serious plot.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eProducer Iida also said that with Episode 13, \u0026#34;VIVANT\u0026#34; Season 2 began, and that the story up to that point had progressed by unraveling the other side of the Season 1 timeline.
