About this episode
Fundamentally, the Japanese are weary of people who are good talkers, equating this habit and demonstrations of such ability with unprincipled, untrustworthy behaviour.
While we can say there is also a similar attitude towards overly talkative people in the West as well, here in Japan, the negative response to people who talk way to much has a much more deeply rooted culture connotation, and far more important in the overall scheme of things even up until this very day.
