Ep. 17: Mutta suspects Naoto and Yasushi of sabotage due to green card orders
Aired on July 22, 2012
While Team A investigates a mysterious alarm, Mutta observes Yasushi acting strangely. Recalling Naoto’s comments about surveillance, Mutta suspects JAXA is responsible. He remembers training in Houston where astronauts received green cards instructing them to create problems. Based on this, Mutta deduces that both Naoto and Yasushi were ordered to break the clock and trigger the alarm. Later, Serika admits to a food shortage. Mutta incorrectly interprets this confession as another green card directive. The episode focuses on Mutta’s logical connections between the incidents and his training background, leading to his specific accusations against his teammates regarding the sabotage.
