ABEMA, “The New Future TV,” broadcast episode #360 of its regular program 'Chance no Jikan,' hosted by comedy duo Chidori, for free on the “ABEMA SPECIAL Channel” from 11 PM on Sunday, May 3, 2026.
■ Instructor Daigo of Chidori: “Everyone underestimated Tetsu and Tomo” – “Nande Darou” Inheritance Survival Commences!
Episode #360, broadcast on Sunday, May 3, featured the survival project “Inheritance King of Nande Darou,” aimed at passing on basic comedy elements like “facial expressions” and “mime acts” – which are fundamental to comedy in a modern era that values logical humor in variety shows – by selecting an heir to Tetsu and Tomo’s iconic routine, “Nande Darou.”
Ten aspiring comedians, including Sayaka Ishii, Dennis Ueno Yukio, Nanamagari, and Champions, gathered in a separate room wearing white tracksuits. Instructor Daigo appeared and addressed them, saying, “Everyone underestimated Tetsu and Tomo,” and “After entering the world of entertainment and striving together, you probably came to understand the greatness and difficulty of Tetsu and Tomo.” An unusual tension filled the air. Under the instructor’s strict guidance, basic tests for “movement,” “facial expressions,” and “common anecdotes (Aru Aru)” were conducted one after another, kicking off a grueling survival challenge. Nobu, watching from the studio, burst into continuous laughter at the sight of the aspiring comedians desperately tackling “original Aru Aru” and Daigo’s cold-hearted, unreasonable demands.
■ Unexpected Comedians Unleash Their Facial Expression Talent During Hellish, Unreasonable Demands!? Chidori's Nobu: “Are you guys strong…?”
After the basic tests, the selected members moved to the studio to take on the “practical tests.” In the “facial expression” practical test, where participants showed funny faces to the theme song of 'Shoten,' Sayaka Ishii and Champions’ Nihon-ichi Omoshiroi Osaki were nominated and performed a series of intense funny faces. Nobu was impressed by the unexpectedly superb results, exclaiming, “Amazing…” and “Are you guys strong…?” leading to the unexpected blossoming of hidden talents.
■ Chidori's Nobu: “He’s the leader of a crazy circus troupe!” Studio Shaken by Tetsu and Tomo’s “Madness”!
“My legs froze and I couldn’t move.” What was the outcome of the grueling survival that terrified young comedians?
However, the situation took a drastic turn during the “movement” practical test, where the aspiring comedians had to keep up with Tetsu of Tetsu and Tomo, who was running freely around the studio. Comedians affected by Tetsu’s madness formed a line and circled the studio, or lay on the floor wiggling continuously, creating a strange atmosphere. Amidst this, Tomo of Tetsu and Tomo suddenly declared, “I’d like to try Oizumi Itsuro’s ‘Mago’ (Grandchild),” and further instructed the aspiring comedians to “become parakeets.” As Tomo sang passionately, Nobu was horrified by the bizarre sight of the aspiring comedians mimicking Tetsu’s hopping movements while yelling “Grandpa! Grandma!” and blurted out to Tomo, “You’re a pervert,” and “You’re the leader of a crazy circus troupe.” Faced with Tetsu and Tomo’s madness, Dennis Ueno, who consistently confessed to feeling “anxious,” and Sentinel Tomisat, who said, “My legs froze and I couldn’t move,” spoke of their fear, leaving the young comedians trembling. Who ultimately won this hellish survival and was chosen as the heir to “Nande Darou”?
■ Batteries Ace: Only 50,000 yen left just 4 days after payday!? A serious match for living expenses!
Chidori's Nobu, seeing Ace at the boat race track: “If he hadn’t appeared on M-1, would he have ended up like this…?”
The program also broadcast “Funafessional Boat no Ryuugi,” a segment that closely follows the styles of people who dedicate their lives to boat racing. This time, it focused on Batteries Ace. Ace revealed his unique styles one after another, such as traveling by bicycle to save on transportation costs, throwing a full-power pitch at a baseball field before a race to “bring out a hungry spirit,” and “trusting the color of his own clothes” on that day. Despite it being only four days after payday, he disclosed that he had “only about 50,000 yen left” and embarked on a serious match for this month’s living expenses. However, after losing the first race, he took off his shoes, sniffed them, and explained his mysterious behavior: “I want to remember the feelings of my hometown… it’s a ‘smell’ that brings out a hungry spirit.” Seeing Ace sniffing his shoes with a straight face, Nobu grimaced, imagining the “possible future” where “if he hadn’t appeared on M-1, he might have ended up like this…” There was also a scene where general spectators gathered around Ace, getting excited while watching the race results, to which Nobu retorted, “It’s like One Piece!” What was the outcome of Ace’s unique style of match?
