VIVANT producer Kazutaka Iida said the interrogation scene between F and Ali in episode 12 was shot with more material than made the broadcast. Yamanaka, who plays Ali, kept acting past the line that aired, and Iida hinted the extra footage might appear somewhere.
Iida also described Yamanaka's approach to the role, saying the actor seemed to absorb the other performer's breathing before delivering his own lines. He recalled that the season one shoot ran over by hours because of the intensity of the exchanges.
