The anime “Nohara Hiroshi’s Lunch Style” is currently airing and receiving rave reviews. This is an official spin-off of “Crayon Shin-chan” (originally written by Yoshito Usui), depicting Hiroshi as somewhat unreliable as a father, teased for his smelly feet, and on a low salary.
However, in ” Crayon Shin-chan the Movie: Storm Called: The Adult Empire Strikes Back,” he reminisces about his life and strives for his family, and the final scene in “Crayon Shin-chan: Serious Battle! Robot Dad Strikes Back” was so cool it brought tears to the eyes of many fans.
However, Hiroshi’s charm isn’t limited to the theatrical releases. In past TV anime series, he has shown his wonderful side as a father, sure to move you. Here, we will look back at some of the cool, manly episodes Hiroshi has shown for his wife and children. *This article includes content from each series.
The magnanimity of “It’s payday.”
First, let me introduce “It’s Payday,” an episode famous among fans for highlighting Hiroshi’s coolness. One day, Hiroshi’s wife, Misae, withdraws a month’s salary from an ATM but accidentally drops the envelope containing the money. Despite a long search, she is unable to find it.
Feeling hopeless, with a month’s worth of living expenses gone, Misae prepares herself for Hiroshi’s scolding and waits for him to come home, trembling with fear. However, upon learning the situation, Hiroshi neither gets angry nor blames her. He gently places his hand on Misae’s shoulder and says, “Oh, so that’s what happened,” encouraging her by saying, “I’ll work hard and earn money again,” and, “As long as Misae and Shinnosuke are safe, I don’t care about anything else.”
In a situation where it would have been natural for him to get angry, he prioritizes his wife’s mental health and dares to tell her that she can cover the lost money with his own earnings. Shinnosuke, who was watching this exchange, praised him, saying, “Dad, you’re so cool,” and this episode is undoubtedly a perfect example of Hiroshi’s generosity.
