I can actually understand why akira just nodded his head and listened to gordon's scolding without saying anything back. In most asian households we're taught to nod, accept and agree with them since childhood, the silence is to show respect to the elders, talking back or even giving opinions is often seen as rude.

As an asian, I can fully understand why Akira just nodded and kept quiet when Gordon was scolding him, it was a way to show respect. In most asian countries, nodding back when being scolded, especially if the one scolding you is an elderly, is a sign of respect. He kept his composure, he looked like he had a lot to say but he didn't.

Sorry but I think anxiety is the main reason. I feel Akira because I struggle with that too. When you meet someone with a completely different wavelength, you struggle to keep up and your mind goes completely blank. On top of that, he is in a difficult spot. And his wife? Instead of showing support, his wife interrupts him and put him down furtherf. No way he wouldn't shut down completely.

[@imlordderp]

The biggest problem is his wife. Not that she doesn't support him, she destroyed him mentally. See how Akira has changed back to his old self, he got his passion back, energized, motivated, corrected his little mistake, he smiled and happy but then Lisa just sitting there, waited her chance for him to make a mistake and blame him. See how she said she think he doesn't work hard enough and "worried" about he is not gonna ever be the chef that he should be? that is a legit toxic and strong negative thought which can cause him to demotivated and feel bad. Akira didn't blame her anything or angry at her at all as he truly loved his family. A true gentleman he is. Lastly, his children's are beautiful and kind hearted.

[@counterguardian6145]

I am baffled why they married, he is clearly a traditional Japanese man which neither Gordon or his wife understand. He cannot believe she would shame him like that in front of Gordon and the TV, while Gordon doesn't understand you cannot talk so bluntly to Japanese people. His wife sucked the life out of him, man of such culture doesn't know how to react to a bitchy wife when such expressions are frowned upon and never discussed in private let alone public. Not a healthy culture IMO but it is what it is and you gotta respect it.

I totally agree and that’s why most people prefer to get married with those who share the same culture or were raised in the same environment so those type of things won’t happen and won’t affect the kids. Ignorance has no place in a long-term relationship or it will mostly end up toxic.

@@Freaky_Lemonade No. He's saying that Akira's behaviour i.e being non-confrontational when being scolded is typical of ppl who are born and raised in Japan. Conventionally, it's not a good thing to have an "in-your-face" attitude in Japan so Akira probably did not say anything when he was scolded by Gordon about his work, particularly since there was merit in the criticism. Also, in Japanese work culture, when you are criticised that much for your work (particularly in the service industry where Japan prides itself in having great customer service) it can be seen as shameful so I can understand why he is very quiet and a little flustered when Gordon is screaming at him.

I lost composure when Akira broke down when he realized just how much pain his family was in. He's a good man. I've read that the bar shut down soon after. It sucks but I hope he & his children ended up in a happier place in life regardless.

[@indrajeetmitra9077]

So any way to know what are they doing right now?

[@tanyuyang805]

@@indrajeetmitra9077 What is Akira from Sushi Ko doing now? After closing Sushi Ko, it seems that Akira is no longer in the restaurant business. According to his work history, he's now working as a Purchaser/Exporter at M & D Co, LTD. Still, having a 25+ year history as a successful restaurant owner ain't bad! Looks like he's doing well :) copy paste btw

[@margarethmichelina5146]

Their huge mistake was they were trying to go big to move to Thousand Oaks from Bel-Air. They should've just stayed in Bel-Air forever. The restaurant in Thousand Oaks is killing them not only financially but also their marriage and their family relationship. Akira must be felt guilty to move to another place but he didn't want his family know how he felt. He felt he dishonored himself for being the patriach of the family and even worse, he might want to commit suicide at some point because suicide rate is so high in Japan. I'm glad Chef Ramsay noticed that after he realized Akira has no response of his criticism and he decided to help his family to encourage him to be better.

Its funny how his wife was by his side during his good times and as soon as he started having hard times she left wow!!! Yelling at him saying he doesn't move his skinny ass...??? Thankfully Gordon shut her down she needed that.... its better to be single than to have partner like her who is demotivating...😖😐

[@dearthofdoohickeys4703]

That’s what makes relationships so scary to me. Your partner can be your greatest ally, or your greatest enemy 😬.

[@samuelwong1596]

Come one.. when situations like this happens, it happens. No one is that strong mentally and emptionally. When did the wife leave? The wife stayed trough with him even thiugh he is crumbling. Mainly for the business and children even when he is depressed and running away. The family already couldn't function sanely due to mental, emotional and financial stress. The wife was just annoyed, frustated, disappointed, scared.

[@user-eu2mg8lw2t]

@@samuelwong1596 Yes but at the night where he started to shine again where the talk of his family pushed him back to his old self she didn't support him to keep that momentum going she was like a break trying to stop it actually

@@dearthofdoohickeys4703 "Your partner can be your greatest ally, or your greatest enemy " you roll the dice and take your chances. such is life. some are good at recovery after being knocked down, others need help getting back up. I have discovered that you best chance of success is to look REALLY hard for a large community (friends, neighbors) where each has the others backs when things get tough. isolating yourself is the absolute surest way to dig yourself into a hole you can't get out of.

[@xhappybunnyx]

The emotional storylines are by far the most fascinating part of KN and this one's up there

[@EggyboyYT]

I feel Akira. Not because I'm Asian or some other stupid reason but because when I'm getting scolded I become speachless. I think speaking might make things worse. I have anxiety of when I'm being asked to talk I don't know what to answer because it might be wrong and make me look even dumber than I already am. He's on the verge of shattering. When you're being scold and you feel really guilty about it, when you try to talk you just start crying. Same with laughing, if someone tickles you and you talk you suddenly burst into laughter.

[@stephaniecourteoreille5972]

I can relate to you then- if i'm being scolded then I almost burst into crying. I mean, I taught myself how to make myself stop crying or ignore people and go into oblivion because of a toxic relationship a adult man. (i'm a minor) because of that horrible man, I had to cry in my room and have my siblings comfort me. we had to comfort each other, and for some personal reason's i'm not gonna say more.

As an Asian myself.. I can rlly relate to Akira keeping quiet and feeling distanced from everyone else when he was overwhelmed, pretty inspiring episode imo

A kind of introvert personality i guess.

Ig most asians have pretty reclusive/introverted personalities? Pretty sad:/

[@emmahayward9977]

ApocalypseNO4 With respect, it can happen to anyone male or femal of any origin. Sadly, unless someone can identify the problem and work with the party(ies) concerend it can very easily turn into something far more tragic. It was, as you say, a very inspiring episode and I hope that all of that family have been able to continue in an upward direction. From your own point of view, based on your comment, I hope that you are seeking help if oyu are feeling excldued and/or marginalised and that you have plenty of support. You will always encounter the clever buggers who have no experience of such feelings but are able to tell you to "pull yourself together" !!

I’m not Asian so sorry if I sound offensive or like I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I don’t think it’s because of your race, your probably introverted OR you just prefer to avoid the angry.
