(upbeat music)

There is a cop that is
four million yen in debt

from buying luxury
items and entertainment.

And that tells me that this is a cop living
beyond his means outside his lifestyle.

He therefore is a cop that can be bought.

That was actually my first thought
when I was initially reading this story,

is that this is a cop you
could bribe and get away with it.

He wanted to resign.

So he wanted to stop
being a police officer,

which actually in this
case seems like a good idea.

If you have a cop who has large
debts who can’t get out of those debts,

you don’t working his job, you
don’t want that guy to be a cop.

The other police officers
were like, “Uh, you should stay.

” You should keep working as a police
officer or pay off your debt before you quit.

You should stay.

His solution on the other hand
was to just stop showing up to work

and then to go to
Disneyland with his girlfriend.

So he wanted to quit and
the other guys in the office

were like, “Don’t
quit, keep being a cop.

” And he’s like, “Uh, how do I convince
them “that I don’t want to be a cop?

” That they should stop letting me be a
cop that I should not be a cop anymore.

He wanted to uncop himself.

He’s like, “Well, if I
just stop showing up,”

I mean, honestly, as far as
planning goes, this is a solid plan.

On the engineers, Japan, we
make fun of bad plans all the time.

This is a good plan.

If you want to get fired,
just stop showing up.

They’re gonna fire you eventually.

The problem came on October 1st when
his father filed a missing persons report

and the cops, therefore,
his colleagues, his

co-workers were out
looking for him specifically.

So you missed a couple days of work,
you don’t show up anymore to work.

Eh, let me just forget
that guy, not a big deal.

Someone filed a missing persons report

and you’re a cop, then the
cops have to go look for you.

So he’s kind of like stuck himself
but we’re not telling his dad,

“Dad, I’m going to Disneyland or Dad,
“I’m doing something with my girlfriend.

” He just disappeared.

So his father, I don’t know if
you’d behave like this in the past,

but his father rightfully said, “My
son is missing, I don’t know where he is,

“I will call his co-workers
the other police

“and they will look for him and they
have to look for him “at that point.

“

Even if they’re like, “Yeah, at
this point we’re glad he’s gone.

” He was found leaving a hotel on October
2nd with his girlfriend or his partner.

I don’t know if he gets arrested for this.

He has to get stopped.

When this is an interesting thing, when
someone files a missing persons report

and you’re not actually missing and
the cops find you, what do they do?

They just like tag,
you’re it, we found you.

You have to find me now.

You have to find the next guy.

Because you haven’t committed
a crime, like going to Disneyland

with your girlfriend without
telling anybody isn’t a crime.

Of course, it does leave
your family back home who

think you’ve disappeared
forever in a weird situation.

I have something I want to look
into, but how do you find out like,

I can’t go to the police
and ask these questions.

This is something I
realized a long time ago.

I have lots of questions I
would like to ask the police

and I can’t just like go show up
at the local police station and say,

hey, if this situation
hypothetically happens,

what would be the result or the
punishment or like is it a crime?

That makes draws suspicion onto you.

So I realize I can’t do that.

I need a cop friend or a lawyer
who can explain stuff to me.

That might be the next
step for an introduced pen.

I’m being the next
evolution as to find a cop

or lawyer that I can
regularly ask questions to.

So as I hit these questions,
I can write them down.

Might actually start looking into that.

I want to do more quizzes.

It’s organizing time.

Organizing times very
hard for me because I work.

This isn’t my job.

I do this because I love you.

On October 31st, at the
end of the same month,

he’s issued a reprimand and that
reprimand is, hey, you’re a bad cop.

You can’t just not show up
to work for a bunch of days.

And then he immediately quit afterwards.

So again, if we’re going for his initial
plan and success, he has achieved his goal.

He didn’t want to be a cop anymore.

He wanted to quit.

It’s not like he wouldn’t let him
quit, but they convinced him to stay.

Maybe they were given him
a hard time about quitting.

He’s like, I formulated a plan.

I’ll stop showing up to work.

I’ll stop showing up to work long enough.

They will reprimand me.

He probably thought they
would just like cut him loose.

But in, I guess, police, it
has to be a little more formal.

They reprimand him and then he quit.

I guess, and this is
going to ensure he can’t

be a cop again, which
is not a bad idea.

I mean, this is the kind of guy
that should not be a cop again.

He did say after he was reprimanded
and quit being a police officer.

I didn’t like having my personal life intruded
on and being given advice about money.

I thought if I stopped showing up
to work, I would be allowed to resign.

And again, he was correct.

So a man was arrested and
he was arrested for riding.

And it looked like an electric bike.

They said, a moped with pedals.

So I’m assuming moped with
pedals means kind of gas powered.

So you pedal it and
then the engine kicks in.

And it’s got like a little
essentially lawn mower engine

and that, that keeps you going, it
looked like an electric bike to me,

but the electric bike will give you a
better image of what the bike looks like.

It looked like a modified bicycle
with an engine on it, that whatever.

That’s a moped.

I guess they were right.

Who am I arguing with right now?

He’s been arrested for
riding past people and

snatching glasses off the
face as a glasses wearer.

I understand the immediately difficulty

and frustration is
what put you in because

I am functionally blind
without my glasses.

And I see the world, but
it’s like the world underwater.

I know what Atlantis
looks like because that’s

what I would see whenever
I take my glasses off.

I couldn’t really drive a car or
anything if I didn’t have my glasses on.

So with glasses, I see adequately.

I wouldn’t say well, if I was walking
somewhere and you took my glasses,

I could still find my
way to the train station.

I still do stuff.

I would not be a functional
human being to the same capacity.

Be here feeling like a buffoon.

I, Jay, I feel the exact same way.

I would not be because
I would lose so much

capability because I
couldn’t read things.

I’d have to like walk up
really closely to read them.

I’d have to maybe ask
people for directions and stuff.

So it would just, it would
make my day so much harder.

And let’s say you were
going on your way to work.

If I was coming home, I probably have a
pair of old glasses, which aren’t as strong.

Maybe that I could still get by with
to get to like a new pair of glasses.

If I was on my way to work, I would,
there’s no way I’d be able to do a

day’s work without
my glasses on because I

couldn’t read the computer
in front of me probably.

I’d have to get my face really closely.

It would be very
entertaining for my coworkers.

They would all have a good time.

I know I would realistically
just take that day off and go

get another pair of glasses,
but they’re not ready that day.

I’d still have to wait a couple days or
a week, so I’d have to take a day off,

go home, get an old pair of
glasses, go get a new pair of glasses.

Nightmare.

When he was arrested, they found
50 pairs of glasses in his home.

50 pairs of glasses.

This eye is just getting
worse and worse and worse.

At this point, it’s essentially just a
non-functional foreface in my head.

It’s not the best way to put it.

A non-functional orifice.

When they went to his place,
they discovered 50 pairs of glasses.

He had stolen off people’s faces.

Now, I thought I’d read
this far in the article and

I went, okay, this is a
kid and he’s found a prank.

He can grab glasses off people’s faces.

They can’t really chase
them down very well.

He’s on a like a moped
and electric scooter.

So, he’d be able to jet off pretty quick.

It’s a prank.

This guy’s 49 years old.

And I don’t know why.

Like a lot of these, it’s old
dudes and I’m like, of course,

because old dudes just
go insane in their old age.

Or it’s young people doing stupid stuff.

He’s still young enough.

He’s under that sort of mental barrier
for me where you should be like no better.

What had actually happened, so I
thought initially he was riding up,

grabbing the glasses off
someone’s face and riding away.

I actually saw something like that.

I saw a purse snatching
happen that way once.

Like live in a person and the woman
realized at the same amount of time I did,

they were gone by the time we both
realized what had actually happened.

So, there was nothing I
could actually do to help.

What he actually did is
he would stop and say,

can you give me
directions, let’s say to the

station and then grab
their glasses and ride away.

So, the shock is there, but
he has that moment where

everyone’s calm and peaceful
and I’m helping you out.

And this is another
thing, the kindness of

strangers, praying upon
that to steal glasses.

You’ve just gone down the wrong path.

When the cops do an
arrest and they love to do

a little lay-out of
everything they’ve taken.

So, the one, again,
this is audio podcast,

you’re not going to be
able to see the picture.

The picture is really funny to me.

Someone’s printed out a banner.

I love that for every crime someone’s
taking the time to print out a banner.

They’ve hung a single t-shirt on the wall
under the banner that says jump man flight.

Jump man, I believe, is a anime
character or a manga character.

I’m not sure.

They have the moped bicycle
thing, which actually looks very cool.

I kind of want one of those.

They also have a pair
of boots or like high-top

shoes he has that are
so the shirt and the boots

are the bits that I’m
confused about because

they’re completely
unrelated to the crime.

You have the layout of the
glasses, all 50 pairs of glasses.

I guess you could
reclaim your glasses, but

I think they’re just trying to
show like the hall they took.

The guy who lays things out for this
did not do as much of a job as I’m usually.

I have higher expectations.

I’ve done a lot of
these stories where they

lay out like all the stuff
they’ve taken from the arrest.

And I’m not as satisfied with this.

He doesn’t seem to
have any structure or plan.

I have sort of a flow
because I’ve actually,

the ones where they
have like the underwear or

something and it’s
like they’ll actually do it

from different kinds
of underwear and it’ll go

like down by color and
they’ve had like someone

who stole and shoes
and it’ll do it by size

or something like
there’s usually a theme.

This seems like the guy
maybe didn’t have a lot of

time or this might be his
first time laying stuff out.

He’s got a bunch of glasses and the glasses
don’t seem to be any particular order.

74 year old city hall member in suit.

They were talking,
because it’s the two mayoral,

prefectural government
was sitting around.

I’m sure that’s not what it’s called.

They’re having a meeting.

They’re just sitting around.

I have a meeting and
they’re talking about, you

know, human rights and they have
like a charter for rights for children.

So they start having a conversation of
what they should and should not include.

I’m sure it’s based
off some national thing.

But they have to have
some definitions like what are

the rights, the inherent
rights of children in Japan?

A 74 year old and as
soon as I said that, I’m like

74 year old Japanese politician is
saying some off the cuff, unhinged stuff.

I knew, I knew the way this story
was going before I even got into it.

They were drawing up policies in
regards to children and someone said,

respecting the personality,
individuality, and the rights of children.

It seems pretty fair like
kids are their own people.

They have their own
personalities, their individuals.

They should be treated like individuals and
they have inherent rights just being born

in a sort of a country with
that respects basic human rights.

He responded, do
children have personalities?

But they have better ones than you.

I like it just like all this
stuff that goes on my head.

Then he said, what rights to children have?

Which shows where this
74 year old man’s head is at.

If he thinks it like, because you
exist doesn’t mean you have rights.

Because you are born doesn’t
mean you have rights in Japan.

Because you’re a Japanese citizen and
young, you do not necessarily have rights.

Someone tried to argue, people
are born with human rights.

Pretty fair argument if you ask me.

He argues back, kids have
neither rights nor obligations.

So you expect the general pattern
of this is unhinged statement,

outcry, and the next day
they do public press apology.

This guy is one of my favorite
ones because he doubles down.

He’s absolutely not backing down for this.

He thinks kids do not
deserve or have rights.

So the next day during some
press when people are like,

dude, do you really think kids
don’t have like human rights?

He says, I don’t think anything of it.

Rights and personality
both need to be developed.

You could say personality
does develop over time.

I think I’m a very different person from
when I was 10 years ago, 20 years ago.

Like every decade,
you could say I’m a fairly

different person from
the decade previous.

I think that’s fair.

Personality’s changed.

But I had a personality
when I was like 10 years old.

I had a personality
when I was five year old.

You actually say the changes
might actually even happen.

The inherent person that
I am is in there right away.

Human rights on the other
hand are inherent from birth.

This is how you treat
people who exist, which

is where I actually
found this is the guy.

Maybe went too far.

I would be okay if you said like, oh,
you know, kids have a mutable personality,

personality is developed,
all that kind of stuff.

I’d be like, I disagree
with it, but I see your point.

Like people change and kids change a lot.

So maybe they don’t
have like a set personality.

It’s harder to call them out on that.

When talking about human rights,
there is no start point other than

human exists, therefore they get human
rights, the fundamental basic human rights.

So this to me shows
again, what I’ve said

is the problem with
74 year old politicians.

I tend to talk about
Japanese politicians,

but I think we’re seeing
in other countries,

perhaps the 80 year olds, there’s no way
these guys should be in charge anymore.

Like these 60, 70, 80
year old men should not

be in politics, they
should not be in charge.

I don’t understand what
is going on with them at all.

Why is this still okay?

Politicians essentially
set the retirement age.

If they said it at 60,
65 or 70, they should

be retired from
public life at that time.

You should not be allowed to become prime
minister of Japan, president of America,

or any of these other positions, if
you are above the retirement age.

That is my stance and
therefore an engineer’s

Japan’s firm stance that since government,
policies decide the retirement age, they

should respect the
retirement age themselves.

So every one of these politicians
in Japan, who’s over 65 years old,

should be forced to retire, they can
go do some other stuff, ignorant stuff.

I think our guy on our next story is about
to prove how they could spend their time.

If 58 year old men,
so we had a trend, it

was like a six month trend where every story
that began with a plus 50 year old men.

It was always in the 50 to 60
zone. It was always 54, 55, 56.

And I was like, this is my zone.

I’m a little concerned that I might,
you know, lose my mind one day.

And it was always
really weird sex stuff.

Like it was always the
weirdest sex dudes in their 50s.

They’re just like, at this point is like,
you know what, this is the only chance.

I’m still sort of physically
capable, but I’m at

that point in my life
where I don’t care anymore.

And that sort of like
convergence, whoa, that

converges those two
things. That sets old men off.

And so I’m actually
like partially worried

that my brain’s just
going to click one day.

I’m just going to do some really
weird stuff. And then I won’t be doing

into New Japan. Someone in the news will
be doing a story about me, the irony there.

This isn’t a sex thing.
I hope. But a 50 year

old man, he’s probably got,
you know, a lot of free time.

Maybe he doesn’t work
as much as he used to.

I think in 58, you should still probably
be working, but he’s got some free time.

See, does what any man
in their 50s just wants to do,

he gets up on his roof.
And again, that’s already

showing like he’s a
low. He’s on his roof.

It’s already a little weird
to hang out on your roof.

Roofs are really cool
places to hang out.

I’ll be honest. So
I have a house.

I haven’t quite painted off.
We’re getting, I can see the,

the, the faint glow at the end
of the tunnel of my mortgage.

Watch the foreigner upload more

and more disturbing content
before he finally snapped.

That would be great.
If you could watch my

decline and then
pinpoint the day the switch

flipped, like he was
okay up until this episode.

And after that, the way
he started talking and

the stuff he started
talking about got way off.

Of course, talking about
roofs. This is middle

age man stuff, old man
stuff. The point where you

aged out at the human
rights. That’s pretty good.

I mean, you guys should be
in the podcast at this point.

You guys, you don’t know this.

Jade, I think just watches
on Twitch, which was cool.

When I do the YouTube
video or the audio version,

a lot of these
conversations actually stay in,

what I do is I get nay,
I voice, I type in what

you say and I put it in
so you can actually get

the conversation. Just so
you know, you’re actually

in the podcast when
you’re making comments,

we have these talks. It’s
not the whole thing because

I do stuff like this where I
get off topic and it’s no point.

But I even choose
different voices for

different commenters. I
got about six voices I can

choose from because
often these side discussions

to me are the more
entertaining bits because

they’re natural and
I think that’s nice.

We’re talking like old man
stuff, which is my zone.

Narruse, roofs are a
great place to hang out.

No, I have a house. Again,
I was saying that we’re

seeing the the the end
of the mortgage is in view.

It’s going to be hopefully I
don’t die before we pay it off.

I would like to actually own the

house before I die. That’s
really one of those goals.

But it’s pre 60. So
hopefully that’ll get done.

The house next door. So we bought our house
and then they built the house next door.

I’m not jealous, but I was
like, oh, the house next

door has got a flat
roof with a small wall

and he has a garden
up there. And I was like,

aww, we could have
had a flat roof where I

could have put like a second
sort of like sun shade on it.

And I could be sitting up there.

I could be podcasting
outside on my roof right now,

which I think would be awesome
or playing video game and stuff.

I could make a space up on the roof
if I had a flat roof. So should I ever get

dumb people money, like
a huge amount of money,

I probably would rebuild
a house with a flat roof

that I can sit outside on.
Which would be pretty awesome.

Anyways, this guy, I’m assuming his is
not too angled that he isn’t sliding off,

but he’s spending time on his roof. So
what do you think he’s doing on his roof?

If I had time to set
up the quiz this week, I

would have set this
would have been the quiz.

What do you think he’s doing on his roof?
430 p.m. as a kid coming home from school.

And he stops at a red light
because he’s on his bicycle.

He stops at a red
light because he’s a

good Japanese kid and
he’s following the rules.

And then suddenly he gets
dung in the side of the head.

He gets pinged and he
looks up and he sees a

man, this has got to
be a terrifying thing for a

little kid to see. He sees a
man on the roof with a rifle.

And so what this
dude is doing is he goes

up on his roof and he’s
got an air gun and he like

a BB gun pelican kind
of thing. They actually,

they said air gun, which I don’t know
the difference between the different guns.

I actually think air gun is
more dangerous. I’m not sure.

I actually saw some
internet conversation about it,

but I’d have to
actually go looking up.

But it wasn’t. So kids, when
they go to elementary school,

they’re given generally
yellow helmets that they’re

wear, they’re on their
bicycle. So it’s very,

it’s to help, you know,
make them visible.

So the fact that he hit
the helmet, I think this is,

he was going for a
headshot, actually made the

headshot and hit
the kid in the helmet.

Very lucky, because I think
sometimes their ears are exposed,

their faces exposed
and that kind of stuff.

So this guy is spending his time
sitting on his roof, standing on his roof,

when kids go by, he’s
taking shots at them with his

BB gun, his air gun. The
problem is, he hit one.

So the kid goes home.
What does he do?

He tells his parents, hey,
I was riding by this house,

I stopped by this house
because there was a red

light because I’m a good kid
and I’m not breaking the rules.

And this guy shot
me. So they called

the police, the police
show up at this guy’s house,

like, hey, were you shooting kids?
He was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I would never do such a thing.

I was on my roof shooting birds.
I’m pretty sure that’s also illegal.

I don’t think getting
up on your roof and just

shooting birds randomly
is actually okay in Japan.

I’m pretty sure there’s
rules about that as well.

Yes, Ricky, it is wild.
It’s wild because why

is this how you choose
to spend your time?

Like I spend my free time doing this.
I thought the grade schooler was a bird.

Yes, I thought the grade
schooler was a bird does

seem like the right
excuse, but it still falls into

the category if is
shooting birds, okay, which I

don’t think it is. I think you’re
in the same sort of problem.

Shooting birds is not okay, just like
shooting little kids is not okay, just like

shooting anyone’s not
okay. So they took away two

air guns from his house
and then one of the cops

whose lip works in that
area was like, we’ve actually

found like a mass of BBs
pellets around the road.

We think this might be related,
so we’re going to be looking into it.

And so I don’t know what to say,
man. It’s just insane. Don’t shoot kids.

But the disregard
for the kid’s safety

specifically is a straight
to jail thing for me.

Oh, yeah. No, okay. So if we’re going to
get into that, that’s a whole other deal.

I would, yeah, I would
throw the book at him

because I’m assuming
if he’s on his roof and he

hits the kid who’s across the road, that’s
quite a distance. That’s a pretty powerful

air gun he’s using.
Like he’s hitting the kid.

It didn’t break the helmet
or go through the helmet.

But if he wasn’t
wearing a helmet, I’m

assuming it would have
like gone through the skin,

at least maybe even like cracked his skull.
Like that is just not okay stuff.

Yeah, yeah, play video
games. This is like people

complain about video
games. The alternative

just play video games.
Chunk McBeaf chest podcaster

because it’s not socially
acceptable to shoot kids.

You’ve actually found me out.

Okay, this last story, I’ve
kind of made like a little shift

in Ninja News, Japan. I was
trying to do all light news.

So I wasn’t doing any death.

Now I’m doing actual death.
So I got to come up with

warnings beforehand. This
is a story about a murder.

So there will be fewer
jokes and more facts,

but it is sort of a true
crime thing, which is

what a lot of people
are into. So last year,

there was a suspected
suicide and because a man

walked in front of a
train, which is a very

normal way in Japan
that people commit suicide.

And there’s sort of a
little ceremony that goes

with it, which is a little
weird and creepy to

people who don’t know
about it. You take off your

shoes and you line up your
shoes like when you come

into a house in Japan,
you take off your shoes

and you’re supposed to,
you know, neatly put them

next to each other. You’ll
see it in anime and stuff.

It’s sort of a ritual of
how you return home.

When people commit suicide,
they often do the same thing.

They take off their
shoes and that is

actually a way of saying to the
world that this was intentional.

And for suicides in front of trains, they
often put a note in there. Now, the police

were a little like suspect
of this case because

the man had walked
in front of the train.

He did not leave a note. He
did not do any of the things

that Japanese
people traditionally do.

So they’re like, this is now
suspect. It’s now suspicious.

They’re also on video
camera caught a car driving

away when most people,
if they had been around

this kind of thing or
seen this kind of thing,

they would have at
least called the police.

So someone leaving this scene
made it also these two points.

It didn’t follow sort
of the regular way.

I really don’t understand
the train suicide.

You grew up trying not
to inconvenience others

and then you inconvenience
them by messing with the train.

I don’t know. I could get into some some
suppositions there. It’s all psychology.

I think they commit suicide
because it’s now been

popularized in media. And
so now they think that’s

how you commit suicide.
I actually think media

is not responsible, but
they’ve people have done this.

We put it in the
stories. Now people have

read the stories and then
they up and up and up.

And so it just becomes
the way it’s done.

So because of the lack of
the Japanese style and the car

leaving the scene, the
police were like, we’re not

going to actually
like stop investigating.

We think this might be a
murder, even though the man

walked into in front of
the train on his own volition.

So that’s actually
the sticking point at

the end of the point at the
end of the story when we

get to the case. A year
later, so this is this year

to actually last week
for a rest of been made.

And these were all
the victims co-workers.

And the police say he
was coerced into crossing

the railway where he
was then hit and killed.

So what happened? You
go back, you hear, you go

back, you have to go
back a couple of years.

He’s working at a
construction company.

They seem to do a lot of
painting and stuff like that.

And it seems like workplace
bullying was constant.

But when they say workplace bullying, I
think they’re getting any new word because

workplace bullying is not
strong enough for the stuff

they were talking about
doing. They found videos

on the perpetrators form.
So four people were arrested.

They found videos on their
phones of them performing physical

abuse. So they would take
him and do wrestling moves.

But like he was all it wasn’t
like playing back and forth.

Let’s do some
fake pro wrestling.

They were like grabbing him
and do a suplex onto concrete.

They were throwing him around. They
were pushing him over that kind of stuff.

They threw hot water
on him. So they would boil

water, probably for tea.
And then they would take

some take a cup of it
and they would throw it on

him, burning him, scalding
him with the hot water.

They would tie him up,
tie his legs, tie his hands.

And they would hit him in
the lower body with hammers.

So this was, again,
when they say bullying,

I actually think bullying is too soft
a word for what’s actually going on.

Bullying in Japan is now
taken on this all-encompassing,

every kind of like physical
violence kind of stuff.

It is insane. This has
gone on for a year or two.

And it sometimes they would
deny him salary and only feed him.

So that was how
they kept him coming

back to the work site. So
because the only way he

could get food because he
had no money was to come

back to work, he would come
back to work, get more food.

But then they would abuse
him while he was at work.

So they got to a point where they’re
like, I don’t know what’s going on.

This is now we get a very,
very sort of supposition stuff.

Like what’s going
on in their heads,

because they decide they
want him to die or they

want to kill him for some
reason. Like torturing him

just isn’t enough anymore.
They want to kill him.

They go to his house at
two o’clock in the morning and

they get him now. This
is kidnapping because he

did not want to go with
him. But we’re the same

thing with that this
psychological state of the

victim in this case is he’s
not fighting them anymore

because it’s four of them
and they’ve abused him

so much that he doesn’t
feel like he can’t fight.

That’s actually one of
the weirdest parts of this.

At no point does he actually
fight back against these guys.

They take him to
a bridge and they

try to tell him to jump
off the bridge and he says

he doesn’t want to
jump off the bridge.

They get a text message from
one guy to another guy that says

he says he doesn’t want
to jump off the bridge.

He wants to walk
in front of the train.

So it’s almost like
they’re like, we want you

to jump off this
bridge and he’s like, no,

I don’t want to do it
this way. And they’re like,

well, you can jump
in front of a train.

He’s like, yeah,
let’s do that instead.

Maybe he was sort of delaying
for time. Maybe he was like,

if I’m going to die, this
is the better way to do it.

We don’t know what was
going on in the victim’s head.

All we know is that he was in his mental
state where he did not feel like he could

resist in any way
against these other guys.

They take him to the train
crossing and they get him out

and they tell him to just
go walk across the train.

He actually does what they
say and he gets hit by the train.

Here’s where the prosecutors are in an
interesting position because they’ve now

arrested these four people.
They have the evidence.

They have the phones.
They have all the physical

evidence of abuse. They
have all the things that have

happened in the past. They
have the CCTV footage.

So they know all these men were involved
in this man killing himself. Is it murder?

And if it is murder, what kind
of degrees I actually think is

pretty clear this is a
form of murder, but they’ve

put him in this
psychological state where he’ll

do what they say. So
them telling him to do it,

I think makes them
responsible for the murder

that has occurred. But
very technically, again,

this is where the law
works that you have to

get technical on it. If
they didn’t actually do

anything to him and he
walked in front of a train,

is that still murder? Or
is it coercion to suicide

and what kind of crime is
that? The current defense

of all of three of the
four perpetrators is we

didn’t do anything to him.
Therefore, we did not commit murder.

So they’re not saying
they didn’t bully him.

They’re not saying they didn’t
commit all this psychological torture.

But they are saying we didn’t
actually push him in front of a train.

We didn’t actually do anything.

His death is his responsibility.
We should not be held

responsible for that.
I will follow this case.

It’s going to take probably
months and months and

months before it’s concluded.
So probably next year

sometime, I will come up
with the actual sentencing

of these four people
and we’ll revisit it then.

I’d say it’s some level
of manslaughter at least.

I think it’s got to be
worse than manslaughter.

I actually wouldn’t be
surprised if they came up

with something else, like
murder related for sure,

but a higher level than
that because this is planned.

So if you think about the degree, Japanese
legal system, American legal system are

not exactly the same.
But I think everyone has

some exposures to the
American legal system.

So we have a better
understanding of it, like first

second and third degree
murder. So first degree

murder is just like
an active passion.

Second degree murder has
intent and third degree murder is

like with planning. So
that’s it. So it’s intent.

So because they
intended for him to die, I

think that puts you
into third degree murder.

So the fact that I
did it or not become

secondary, it was the
planning and the intent,

these guys woke up.
They kidnapped the guy.

They brought him to this
place. He decided they

didn’t want to do it that way.
They brought him to another place.

That to me is all
the planning that

led to the death of the person, that
to me makes a third degree murder.

So I’m grown a big beard.
This is an audio format primarily.

So I’ve grown a
big beard and I look,

but I recorded on Twitch
and I posted on YouTube

and I’m looking at myself and I’m looking
a lot like a trucker. The beard and the

baseball hat making me
look like like a trucker.

Do I know if that’s a look I should
lean into or try to like more more refined?

I have been trying to
think, what should I do?

What should I do with the beard?

I’m thinking length. This is
not going to go in the podcast.

Now that now that balloon cats jumped
in, I got someone to maybe chat with.

I’m thinking length down, keep it
fairly tight here. This is the part.

So I’ve realized naturally, I’m
clearly a bad guy, like genetically,

not maybe my personality
or morality, but genetically

because my mustache
twirls like up like this,

naturally, like I don’t
even have to like I

just did that now
and it’ll stay like that.

So I actually, when I get
up in the morning, I call

it down to reduce the mustache
twirling aspects I have in my genetics.
