Episode 10 of Hundred Scenes of Awajima continues the series' meditation on legacy, this time through the eyes of children who grew up with Awajima alumni parents. The episode opens with scriptwriter Shinji Hasegawa giving an interview about his childhood with his famous mother, actress Utako. Shinji describes learning to editorialize his home life for others and acknowledges the distance between them, even as an adult living with her again. The review notes that the series uses interviews frequently as a narrative device, which can feel clunky but also fits the show's interest in celebrity and self-presentation. A second story about another child of an Awajima graduate echoes similar themes. The episode closes by revisiting Ibuki's relationship with her grandmother, adding new context to a familiar dynamic.
