Episode 237
He steps off the train in Hiroshima with a folder of shipyard plans under his arm, thinking only of getting home. It’s the summer of 1945, and Tsutomu Yamaguchi is just an ordinary engineer — a quiet man who sketches oil tankers and counts down the days until his child is born. He has no idea that, within hours, the world around him will twist into something unrecognisable.
And he certainly can’t imagine that he will face the same nightmare again.
Yamaguchi isn’t a soldier, a leader, or a symbol. He’s simply a man caught in the epicentre of history twice — surviving what no human should see once, let alone two times. His story isn’t loud. It’s not heroic in the traditional sense. But it’s proof of something deeper: the will to stand, the will to live, and the quiet strength of someone who refuses to disappear.
This is the path of Tsutomu Yamaguchi — the man who walked out of two atomic blasts and kept going.
