The series, produced by Gebhardt Productions, has established itself as a strong performer in international markets. Action Channel attributes the show’s growing success in Japan particularly to its focus on teamwork and the collaborative dynamics at the heart of the storytelling.
Kenji Yamazaki, who oversees Programming and Production at Action Channel, emphasizes: “We believe the primary reason for the show’s immense popularity among Japanese viewers lies in its classic narrative structure of ‘overcoming challenges through teamwork’. This theme of ‘uniting to face a common goal’ is a guaranteed hit across Japanese manga, anime, and TV dramas, and it reflects a national aesthetic similar to the collective passion seen in sports. In the series, each character utilizes their unique expertise to conduct investigations. The way this ‘total team effort’ is portrayed captures the hearts of the audience.”
