This intriguing episode (aired January 29, 2025) dives into a mix of mysteries, history, and survival stories. The investigation begins with a mysterious "human profile" spotted on satellite images of a deserted island in the Seto Inland Sea-is it natural or manmade? Next, students from Tokyo University and Kyoto University challenge experts on puzzling topics, such as why Kyoto addresses are unusually long, whether Ieyasu's comeback at the Battle of Sekigahara is a myth, and why blood type distributions vary by region.
The episode also revisits the incredible survival story of Taro and Jiro, the sled dogs left behind in Antarctica 68 years ago. Through interviews with a former Antarctic research team member and a journalist, the show uncovers the secret behind their survival, including the role of "a certain dog" in their miraculous tale.
