The second is that “Sazae-san’s family meets a tragic end.” Bonito becomes delinquent, Fune has an affair, Wakame is a prostitute, Namihira dies of a heart attack, Masuo commits suicide, Tara dies in a traffic accident, and Sazae berserk.
The third is that “it was all Sazae-san’s dream.” Sazae, who had become a plant human due to a traffic accident, dreamed of the Sazae family while sleeping. Sazae wakes up in the final episode, but only Namihira and Fune are there. Bonito, wakame seaweed, and cod were Sazae’s dreams. Sazae is sad but falls in love with her doctor, Masuo, and marries.
