In Episode 4, Uramichi and his colleagues had to shoot a summer special episode on a cold and gloomy winter day. It perfectly showed how we have this amazing ability to keep pretending, even at the most challenging times.
The shoot not only broke them emotionally but also affected their physical condition. Iketeru and Kumatani ended up suffering from fever, and they had to take leave.
Can they make a comeback and compensate for their day offs? We bring you the latest episode update of this anime.
Episode 5 Speculation
Episode 5 is titled “When This Performance is Over.” The title hints that it will revolve around the dull life of Uramichi and his co-worker after the shooting gets over.
Kumatani will resume his work and will try his best to recompense for his sick leave. Meanwhile, his colleagues feel that they are responsible for his sickness, so they will go ‘extra-nice’ on him when he comes back.

Episode 4 Recap
In Episode 4, the production company decides to shoot a summer episode on a cold and gloomy winter day. Despite the freezing temperature, Uramichi and his team have to wear summer clothes and splash water on each other.
Kumatani and Ushara are astonished to see how Uramichi shows absolutely no emotions even when he is asked to do the toughest job. For someone who goes through emotional ups and downs, Uramichi looks surprisingly calm.
The director asks them to play all sorts of summer games, starting from splashing water on each other to smashing watermelon with a baseball bat. Well, they didn’t find a watermelon at this off season, thereby replacing it with a winter gourd.
With each take, the performers get more and more depressed. Acting happy in a chilling winter morning is like a reality on how fake and meaningless their life has become.
The shoot ends with everyone acting to watch a sky full of fireworks, and the director assures that he will add them manually through CG. Realising that the director could have done the entire scene in the set and then alter it through Cg is like salt to injury for the performers.
Iketeru, who is known for his low immunity, goes to bed rest for next few days as he catches cold after that shoot. Thus, the production team comes up a new script that fits Germinator’s absence for the next show.
The idea of Bacterian abandoning the fight due to Germinator’s absence looked super lame, but Uramichi played along anyways. Thankfully, Iketeru is taken well care by his sister, so he recovers pretty fast.
He returns to his work to find out that Kumatani has caught cold this time, and the team has to alter the script to hide his absence. All of them has their own reasons to believe that they are responsible for Kumatani’s sickness.
For example, Utano believes that Kumatani caught a cold because she spilled beer on him. On the other hand, Ushara thinks that it is because of the snowball that he dropped inside Kumatani’s jacket.
Will this cycle of catching cold end any time soon? Is there anyone who will follow Kumatani? We have to wait for the next episode to find that out.
