The teen, Yoshioka, has a bike that wouldn&#8217;t be able to withstand making it up the mountain, so they catch the ropeway together. In traditional <i>Rescue Wings<\/I> style, the ropeway car has a fault and stops 100 metres past the gate. Then the winds pick up. For Uchida, it&#8217;s going to be one of those days again.<\/p>\n<p>The episode doesn&#8217;t give a good sense of Yoshioka&#8217;s character simply because  he doesn&#8217;t say much of anything: he&#8217;s an observer of the people around him at the ropeway station. As is further tradition in such a disaster situation, you get several disparate types on the ropeway car, including the old married couple, the newly formed step-family, and the middle-aged punk with girlfriend. Their broad strokes seem to represent something to Yoshioka, who appears to come from a family paralysed by the loss of its mother\/wife.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no point complaining about contrivance in this series because if you had a show about military rescue in which no actual military rescues were carried out, you wouldn&#8217;t have a military rescue show at all. This episode is the preparation for the second half, which is mercifully enough already out. I&#8217;ll be right on it, with almost as much proactivity as Uchida in a crisis situation!<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/rw08-02.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"170\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/rw08-03.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"170\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/rw08-04.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"170\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/rw08-05.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"170\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/rw08-06.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"170\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/rw08-07.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"170\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/rw08-08.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"170\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/batrock.net\/animeimages\/rw08-09.JPG\" alt width=\"300\" height=\"170\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" border=\"1\"><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Journey of a Young Boy (part one)&#8221; What&#8217;s three months between episodes between friends?
