Lyric excerpt (machine-translated) from this month's featured song, Nijuuisseiki no Fu-chi-ku (二十一世紀の瘋痴狂; The 21st Century Hoochie Koo)

(via DeepL.com translation)

We ride by the fields in the moonlit night Ask the horse where we're going Into the shadow of a windmill Wielding a noble spear
From the land of dreams I came to spread my dream
The insane man of the 21st century Insane man of the 21st century The insane man of the 21st century Take the world in your stride, insanity

 

Excerpt from a review: Encyclopaedia Metallum/The Metal Archives: More Pleasant Than Any Dove's Coo. - 80%

 

The title track "Nijuuichi Seiki No Hoochie Koo" definitely sets you up for what you're going to experience for most of this album. The entire song has a swinging groove to it, which Shinji Wajima's vocal rhythms help pump into a cool rhythm. The track, like much of this album, has some REALLY spectacular harmonies and backing vocals to help enhance the overall feeling and mood of it. Even though Wajima has lead vocals on the song, it's really Kenichi Suzuki and Nobu Nakajima that harmonize to make the chorus so catchy. The song also ends with a really old school sounding solo from Wajima that hearkens to a style long gone.

Last Thursday I made a post where I showed the unlabeled timelines of each Documental season, and wrote that I planning to release all my data showing the entire breakdown of every card given in the first 10 seasons (and the shelved S8).
That time has come.
Reddit posts are limited to 40k characters, so I can't fit all the seasons in one post. However, I was planning to cap off the data post with a post reviewing every season, where I'd divide Documental into three eras (1-4, 5-7, shelved 8 - 10) and try to rank them. Instead, I'll combine the timeline, data, and review into three posts, one for each era. The reviews will go in a comment to save space.
Welcome to the Classic Era (alternatively, the Cookie-Fujimoto Era) of Documental. Introduction and methodology in the comments to save space.
ドキュメンタル。。。スタート！

5:20:25	Yellow	(self), Jimmy		Thwaps Jimmy with a rubber band in his bald spot. Twists the rubber band around his mouth immediately after, he claims he was "trying to make a funny face" but Matsumoto says he was using it to hold back a laugh and "that's wrong".	Boke, Self-Destruct
3:31:49	Orange	kukky		kukky comes out with the Tenga Egg on his head that he inflates.	Immediate, Absurd
2:59:31	Red	kukky, Fujimoto	(self)	["Double elimination"]: Fujimoto initiates cleaning Daisuke's ass of the toilet paper, the killing blow comes when kukky comes and sprays something (perfume)? Both Daisuke and Saito get reds.	Coup de grace, Absurd, Lost Endurance

​

5:47:52	Yellow	Jimmy		"Yoshimoto's Al Capone": Ohchi is laughing pretty much throughout the group's conversation about Hachimitsu's shirt (and Fujimoto's "giant wife", per Kubota) but Jimmy coming out with his "mother and child" lamb gets him to laugh, chided for hiding behind cigarette.	Boke, Absurd, Passive, Warning
5:26:26	Safe!	Anthony		Examined during the Saito orange, Ohchi accused of laughing but holding it in during Anthony's "move" which consists of him squeezing his head through the opponent's arm and saying Hello.	Absurd
4:28:33	Red	kukky		Laughs at kukky's joke about his jacket hood being full of tofu, specifically just the joke and the word "tofu", as he even reinacts it "It's soaked in sweat." "Yeah, it's wet."

​

Kubota Kazunobu (久保田和靖)	"Torosa-mon" [sic.] (とろサーモン)	サイコパス的な。。。(Psychopathic...)	N/A	Survived*** (would have placed 2nd on points)

​

1:06:33	Yellow	Anthony		Loses the rock-paper-scissors against Fujimon and has to look at the photo of Anthony's dad (same photo where he blends into background that Kawahara laughs at) first. His voice trembles with a laugh.	Traditional, Strict

​

5:33:48	Yellow	Jimmy, Daisuke		["They calm me"]: Jimmy and Daisuke line up to play rock-paper-scissors, Daisuke tells Jimmy to put the sheep away and he says they calm them, then Jimmy bursts into laughter.

2:14:53	Orange	Anthony		A talk starting from Fujimon not needing 10M, name a comedian still popular in their 50s, Ishizuka... Anthony mentions "But I heard that when he does those gourmet reports, he leaves a lot of food." and Fujimoto goes "Hmph!".	Strict, Personal
18:50	Red	Kawahara, (self)		Kawahara goes out with his boxing glove punch strainer dip routine. Fujimoto joins in taking the strainer, and Kawahara hits him in the face with the boxing glove at the end. Fujimoto laughs. "When you get punched that much, you can't help but laugh. I thought, 'What the hell am I doing?'".	Rolling, Absurd, Coup de grace

​

4:34:08	Yellow	Hachimitsu		Laughs at Hachimitsu's black-and-yellow lucha libre mask. Contemporary with Ohchi's orange for laughing throughout. No time given, so I'm going off of the 4:33:18 seen when Ohchi's laughs minus 50 seconds of broadcast time to the start.	Traditional
4:07:16	Orange	Daisuke		["Analympics"]: Daisuke demonstrates the game he used to play in dressing rooms: Analympics, strips underwear and shows anus very fast. Kukky laughs because he had toilet paper crumbs left ("looked like termites"), Hachimitsu and Saito also examined, Saito marked safe but other two get orange.	Vulgar, Immediate, Unexpected
2:19:00	Red	Kubota		Kubota performs an unfunny version of Pikotaro. "B... oo... boobs!" It's not even remotely funny, so kukky laughs. Time not shown so going off starting time.	Unfunny

The group insists Jimmy was laughing and hiding his face in the sink but Matsumoto doesn't check up on it. Ohchi also examined and not carded. Since Saito was attacking he gets an orange, which is explained as the last step before red.	Boke
4:07:16	Safe!	Daisuke		["Analympics"]	Vulgar, Immediate

​

Kawahara Katsumi (川原克己	"Tenjikunezumi" (天竺鼠)	板尾創路の系譜 (The "Itsuji Itao Type")	N/A	Survived*** (would have placed 3rd on points)

​

2:09:52	Yellow	(self)		"That's quite manly of you...": Nobody's ever seen Kawahara laugh, so he decides to show them. He hides his face and uncovers it to indeed reveal him laughing. "I thought he wouldn't make a face at all. But he gave us a full on laugh. It was so unlike him.". His goal was that everybody would laugh in response. Fujimoto does laugh, but after the siren.	!!!
1:12:11	Orange	Anthony		Laughs at Anthony's second photo of his American dad Viktor (a night photo where his dad is barely visible due to his dark skin color).	Traditional

5:00:25	Yellow	Jimmy		Jimmy eats the bun with the wasabi clearly on it, there's still one more, Hachimitsu laughs as he says "It should be okay...".	Lost Concentration
4:07:16	Orange	Daisuke		["Analympics"]	Vulgar, Immediate
2:50:51	Red	Fujimon	(self)	Earlier on, as Hachimitsu shows off the lucha libre masks, he stands on a chair and breaks it, and Ohchi swings a broken part of the chair around like a tonfa. Later, Kawahara is doing a running joke where he takes credit for other things, and replicated Ohchi's joke. Hachimitsu remarks that he made that and Fujimon says "You didn't make it". They repeat this exchange and Hachimitsu smiles. Fujimoto is stunned as Hachimitsu smiled at the simplest possible tsukkomi response: "What else should I say? You didn't make it." In the interview after, Hachimitsu talks about how he lost his focus, and couldn't understand why Fujimoto was so persistent about something so trivial, as "When you think about it, I made that prop".	Tsukkomi, Lost Concentration

​

Anthony (アントニー	"Matenrou" (マテンロウ)	毛色が違う (A Horse of a Different Color)	N/A	Survived*** (would have placed 1st on points)

5:26:26	Safe!	(self)		["First orange"]	Boke
4:56:08	Red	Fujimon	(self)	Hachimitsu says Fujimon is close to laughing and Fujimon complains about Jimmy: "But he keeps drinking!" (after they agreed using bottles to hide a laugh is a foul). Jimmy laughs and gets mad at Fujimon, saying he was only drinking because the wasabi was still hot and he kept tricking Jimmy into laughing.	???

FINAL WORDS:

Anthony: You act like you're the best, but you're hopeless. ([小僧?]一番出来る感じ出して、なんてないっす。）
Kubota: Hm?
(silence)

Himura starts to tsukkomi Jimmy saying that's not right, he should say "Itai!" (It hurts!) instead. Miyagawa all along is holding it in, eventually hissing out a laugh (Matsumoto-san!

4:17:38	Red	Jimmy, (self)		Jimmy washes his head and is soaking wet, Daisuke offers Jimmy a towel, Jimmy says No thanks, Daisuke chuckles as he responds "Why? It's just..." (... a towel.).

1:27:56	Red	Kotouge		Kotouge does Akira 100% while getting his balls slurped by the vaccuum. On the suggestion that he do it standing on the tray, he slips and impales himself on the trunk behind him. Himura laughs when he sees the bruise that Kotouge has from it.	Physical, Passive

Matsumoto checks to see whether to give an orange (warning) or another yellow (which would mean a red), but gives him orange because he was attacking.	Physical, Rolling
3:46:45	Red	Fujimon, Kotouge	Saito	"An incredible stutter": Saito attempts a titty gag but nobody laughs and the group around the porthole point out that's all he's been trying.

Jimmy answers Strawberry candy (earlier, during Fujimon's "Cat's Eye, Dog Nose... add one more" associated word exchange with Kotouge, Jimmy answered with the complete non-sequitur Strawberry Candy). The group thought Jimmy laughed but Saito is called out for suspiciously eating bread right after that statement.	Absurd, Boke

Decided to do another one for fun, and again come up with any roasts and insults for Mr. Yoshi. :)
​
MY ROASTS:

1. Bro looks like a soulless evil clone of James Hetfield
2. That's not James Hetfield, that's Lames Sweatpeeled!
3. Bro so emotionless that even people could take Shinji Ikari sitting on a chair absolutely seriously
4. EPISODE 12 SPOILER: Bro took the title "Master of Puppets" literally and tried to conspire for Chisato to kill
5. EPISODE 13 SPOILER: When Mr. Yoshi died, the IUCN Red List mistook the Yoshi species as endangered because of that
6. EPISODE 13 SPOILER: Mr. Yoshi just got Mario-dropped by Mika
7. EPISODE 13 SPOILER: It's a good thing that Mika never got Mr. Yoshi's artificial brain

Alright this mystery has already been all but solved but let's go over the evidence.
From chapter 79 we know that the Boss was someone that Yuuichi had attempted to murder, is wearing a skirt and sitting on, what looks to be a wheelchair and holding a photo of Yuka and Yuuichi, reminiscing about how long it had been since they had seen him. The skirt likely indicates that the boss is female. The boss is also someone who was ingrained in Yuuichi's past and was the reason why his teamw as experiencing their "Karma" in the island arc.
We also know Yuka had a photo of, what looks to be the main casts' parents (i.e. Shiho's dad, Tenji's dad, Shibe's dad and Kokorogi's mom) and was friends with Shibe's dad. Of course, Tenji's dad and Sawaragi's dad were also very close to each other, so we already know that the families of the main cast have some connection to each other.
So why is this info important? Well, from chapter 110 we know that Kokorogi's mother had incurred a large amount of debt "one way or the other". So how did she accumulate such a large debt? Well..
Now, flashback to chapter 100. We find that Yuuichi (child of the century btw) had been going around trying to test the comparative importance of money and friendship. We know that Yuuichi had sent Taizen to manipulate Yuka's friends into playing this game by having him pay one million yen a month. We are also aware that Masakazu Shibe had tried to reach out to Yuuichi to stop the game but this is what Yuuichi says:"Others were in way worse situations than you but they painstakingly prepared every yen."
So of our theory about the main cast's parents being close to each other is true, then that's how Kokorogi's mother had accumulated such a large amount of debt: She was participating in the Tomodachi Game that Yuuichi had created, valued her friend over money and suffered for it.
We also have additional evidence about, Yuka's connections to Kokorogi:From chapter 63, it is said by the Admin that: "The mother who adopted Katagiri Yuuichi was... sold for money and was treated horribly" and we see her, holding money and being sexually abused.
Now, we also know from Game 2 that Kokorogi went for compensated dates due to her bullying problem. From chapter 110, Shinji says the person he was meeting was a poor, bullied manga obsessed middle school girl. hence, we know that Kokorogi was bullied and went on compensated dates for money even before she met Shinji or was involved in the Tomodachi Game.
So why does all this about their pasts matter?
From the same chapter, Shinji go t involved in thsi whole mess in the first place because the "Boss" had met a "friend" (i.e. Yutori) implying that they might have been snooping around somewhere in that "occupation".
Alright, so who's the boss? Well we know two things about the boss, the first is that Yuuichi thought that he killed the boss and thought they were dead, the boss had to have been one of the 3 people Yuuichi had killed. We know the boss couldn't have been a "4th person" that Yuuichi attempted to murder because, when Manabu announced that Yuuichi had killed 3 people back in game 2, Yuuichi wasn't even the least bit shocked or surprised, but if he really had tried to kill a 4th person and thought he did, he should've been shocked or surprised that the fourth person was alive, implying that he really did attempt to kill only 3 people. However, a counterargument to this might be that Yuuichi intentionally let the boss live after attempting to murder them but the Boss thought Yuuichi did try to kill them without knowing he let them live, hence why Yuuichi may not have been shocked at the revelation.
Anyway, the second thing we know is that they were snooping around in the prostitution related jobs. The third is that they seem to have been greatly damaged and are walking on a wheel chair. From chapter 112 (chinese raws and here's a shitty translation done by my chinese online friend), the fourth thing we got to know is that they are someone Tenji is very "familiar with" (again, it's not implying that Tenji really knows the boss, he's only familiar with such a character and aware of their existence but not necessarily their identity). And finally, the boss has some connection to Yuka seeing that they are holding a photo of Yuka and Yuuichi.
Now that you think about it, the other people who were close to Yuuichi that we've seen uptil now are the main casts' family, the Shiba family (Taizen/Shinji) and those working under Tomodachi Game (who are obviously not the boss). Hence, the latter two groups are our main suspects in this investigation although I won't write off the possibility of the boss having some connection to the reason as to why Juzo's family was suddenly going into debt, just my intuition though,
So let's start with their identity shall we?
>The boss was one of Yuuichi's targets or at least, Yuuichi thinks the boss is dead.
>The boss is also implied to be female and suffering from some kind of health issue (wears a skirt, sits on a wheel chair of sorts).
>The boss has some connection to the prostitution occupation and Kokorogi and Yuka.
Who it might be:

• Yuka Katagiri: Out of everything we know about the boss seems to fit Yuka to a T. She is a female who has been suffering through some health issues, was sold for money as a prostitute and is implied to have been friend's with Yutori's mother. She also would have a solid motive for manipulating Yutori into bringing her friends into the Tomodachi Game: Getting revenge on her son, Yuuichi, who ruined not only her life but those of her friends' and their children (hence this might tie into the concept of Karma that Tsukino talked about earlier in chapter 79), hence why she wanted to get involved in this game. Tenji might know her as well, since we know that his dad and Sawaragi's used to hang out regularly it wouldn't surprise if Yuka and Tenji (provided the parents' friendship theory is true) had a similar kind of relationship as platonic friends or that he went to visit her multiple times or maybe he thought Tenji something about friends and money too, idk.
• Shibe's father can be a candidate too. Credits to u/emitsal for this idea. The boss, is also shown to have light colored and short hair, most of what we saw with Yuka, other than having an attempted murder by Yuuichi and wearing a skirt, fit here a well. Everything about the Yuka: From the light hair of the boss, to the shared history with Yuuichi, to being involved in the prostitution occupation can be applied to Shibe's father as well, he has light colored hair, knows about Yuuichi's background and sexually harassed his secretary. He was a womanizer too so it wouldn't be surprising if he tried to get in touch with Yutori's mom and hence found Yutori. We also know that Tenji's father was a prosecutor and likely part of the friendship group of the main casts' parents, so most likely: Either Shibe and Tenji's father were close to each other like good friends or Tenji's father was investigating him for his various crimes and the "scandal" that he was covering up. But we also know from Game 2 that pretty much everyone in the game is familiar with Shibe's father thanks to Manabu's revelation. hence implying that Tenji should be too. The body was never shown as well, so it's not out of the option that he faked his death. We also know that he was somehow aware that his son was participating in Tomodachi Game and he was seen holding a tablet of all the information Shiho Sawaragi that looks suspiciously similar to the one that the Tomodachi Games Admins were carrying. Let's be honest, would this much public information be available about a high school girl? I don't think so, hence, that might be one of the TG Admins' personal investigation reports. We also know that the Tomodachi Game had been created for the enjoyment of the rich and wealthy people, Shibe's father was also definitely a rich guy and if he faked his death, he could've also passed on all his debt on Makoto. Plus, we can never say for sure that Yuuichi thinking he died implied that he tried to murder him, he probably just think Shibe's dad is dead from the news and he still lived. Maybe the scar he received might've been mental as well.

Who it can't be:

• Tenji's father: He's also dead.
• Shiho's father: Shinji held his daughter hostage in order to prevent him from investigating Tomodachi Game and Shinji has interacted with the boss before, hence it's obviously not him.
• Shibe's mother: The boss was mentioned to have a "scar" that was given by Yuuichi's attempted murder of them and from the flashback's we've seen of Shibe's mom, she has no scar on her face and doesn't suffer from any health issues as such. Thus we can safely cross her off the list of suspects.
• Yutori's father: Dead.
• Yutori's mother: We see her getting badly abused by her daughter with a taser and Shinji does absolutely nothing about it + come on, it's kinda obvious from the get go.
• Taizen: Confirmed to be dead by both Yuuichi and Shinji.

Unknown:

• Tenji's mother: We know from Manabu's statement in chapter 49 that Tenji has no parents and we kow from episode 5 that Tenji's father raised him on his own, so that implies she's probably dead or went missing. The boss is someone who is familiar with him so I can't rule it out just yet.

Anyway, these are just my thoughts. Let me know what you guys think.

At all times, it will be Starlight. If you have played this game recently in the past 1 or 2 years, it will be ~Shy~fox~, Shinji, ^Ottoman Empire^, and mikeal (maybe also eviiox).
Players description:
Starlight will be known since she has made a lot of servers, such as Starlight Skys 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, and Sapphire Skys 2. Now she's just been active in recent months, but she's gone yet again. Her pfp is an anime girl.
~Shy~fox~ was known since she's attractive, she'd like to stay with Shinji, and her pfp is being put in random servers. Her pfp is an anime girl fox. She's active in Anime Fox. (That server was doomed by credit already) Her hobby is roleplaying with Shinji. She's gone now. Her pfp in the last time that she was active was the anime girl fox in winter.
Shinji was known since he often joined servers to spam and bypass bans. He likes to roleplay with ~Shy~fox~, but since she's gone. Therefore, he seldom joins servers to do the act I mentioned before, and now he's also gone. His most well-known pfp is a cat wearing glasses.
^Ottoman Empire^ was known since they were a storyteller. They used to talk about Russia, such as Chechnya and etc. They've being active for a long time and are still active. Their pfp is the green map.
mikeal and eviiox were known since they are all hackers. They sometimes join servers and hack. mikeal likes furry, and he has used a furry image as a pfp before. I don't remember his pfp, but he's still active. eviiox will look more mature, and his pfp is his selfie, (probably) but he used a phone to block his looking. He's not been active in recent months, so I think he may have quit already.

What I am basically looking for is the classic "Shinji in a Chair" pose, but instead of Shinji it is an American Soldier. Wearing ACUs, and right arm limp at side holding a M9 Beretta (pistol) pointed straight at the ground, finger off the trigger.
(Shinji's pose tends to be mirrored to both sides on image searches, so right arm with gun would be the one displayed toward the observer.)
This would be aiming for roughly 6 x 6 inch area aiming for side rib placement.
I am not necessarily looking for "anime" style, but if one was to stick with that because of the pose, I prefer the art style of characters like Yoji Itami from the Gate series more than the older styles of Evangelion. Thought I don't have any hard style in mind.
Budget I'm shooting for between $125 - $250.
I read the rules like 3 times hopefully I didn't mess this up :) e: well my title is stupid so I guess I got that going for me.

~Army of Spies

As the chronological second Meta Monday, a ton of shit happened so let's recap on some of the top moments of that day.

• The first ever Meta Monday Alarm has sounded.
• u/normallygone tries to get females and fails miserably. Better luck next time bruh.
• Then a mfer had to defamate his ass. Few days before u/normallygone got in a physical altercation with a squirrel at the park.
• Just wanted to note u/jeremilo2468 almost burned his house down. Just wanted to note since I feel like we brushed this off.
• The hate u/popmusiccritic is getting is off the chain. Post one, two, and this one that sounds like something they'd write. We both cool though. 🤝
• Pete "Skete" Davidson got in some shit recently. Today it was reported on, were first we are shown a incident of Skete pushing a fan after a Knicks game, and then another were he CRASHED A CAR INTO A HOUSE WHAT THE FUCK!!!
• Off topic but do ya'll think? 🧐
• u/GoodAssBoy playfully jokes about lactose intolerant people. Dw, we aren't lactoseintolerphobic, we support those lactose intolerant. 🫡
• u/jeremilo2468 made an interesting post that never got any attention.
• 3 sides you DON'T want to see of u/P0PE_F0X.
• u/SantsCountry called out another WorstSubEver L.
• Studies show that most GAS Goons don't fw Nicotine. Neither do I.
• Woah. 😳
• 3 infamous figures in the media sit together for lunch.
• Famous GAS Goons ranked on looks. Twice.
• u/jeremilo2468 finds a Good Ass Kitten.
• Sick ass art made by u/SLIKHADESREVENGE.
• Another podcast added to this Good Ass Sub playlist.
• Desiigner's recent controversy. He's currently checking into a mental health facility.
• A bad idea.
• Pic of Ye and Bianca that goes hard.
• Patrick Mahomes comparison to Ye.
• Looking back at a Carpool Karaoke with Ye and Corden. Potential Late Late Show host u/Hu3yKnewTHen???
• People ponder u/Ye_Yong.
• u/akatsukiblitzkampf once again harassed.
• Jimmy Butler W.
• That's just fucked up.

And the most talked about thing today, u/Hu3yKnewTHen and u/Bean1onAudius are at war. Hu3y says Sean Leon isn't Ye's grandfather and that nobody fucks with Sean Leon THAT hard (and he's right imo) and that pissed Bean1off so now their fighting each other. There are too many posts about the subject to share so I present to you the next GAS Movie trailer. Wave 2 is about to begin.
And finally as many of you may have heard, I had a bad night and I need to explain myself. 5:00 A.M. that same day, I drank 1/5 of my vodka bottle when my GAS Colleague u/BelongToTheWorId dared me to drive for "the vine" or whatever they were waffling about. I drank like a fish so I step in my Good Ass Donda Accord and i'm driving pretty decently for like 30 seconds doing donuts around the parking lot until about 5:30 A.M. I wake up from being unconscious and the police cuff me saying I smashed head first into the Good Ass Food establishment. Turns out I smashed mcchicken's ass ton of tables and chairs, they're line fences, about 2/5ths of they're interior design, all that was of they're shop's entrance, they're rib cage and my own rib cage. Let's just say I went viral and not in a Good Ass way. Anyways I was on the phone with Saul and it's not looking pretty for me, my rib cage, and my wallet so pray for a mfer this DRYSZN is gonna be the death of me. 😭

~Army of Spies

Taizen Shiba could have been taught or raised by ninjas. I'm not talking about super magical ninjas, i'm talking about actual ninjas that pretended to be normal people and would gather information and all that stuff.
Shinji knows enough martial arts and has the physique to beat the former minister of defense in a fight and is a professional killer, how could Shinji obtain this knowledge? He was most likely taught by Taizen Shiba since he notices that Shinji's mindset is perfect for a killer and trains him to be a hitman and then possibly abandoned after he taught him everything.
Looking at Yuuichi, he shown some skill in sabotage and other stuff that ninjas would ideally would want to known: - Took down the cruise ship's power (the blackout) - Secretly poured gasoline to set the house on fire (you can see the fire trail that the gasoline trail ended where he was standing) (this happened when that masked dude took that little girl hostage) - Shot at non-vital points at the masked dude to keep him alive and to make the masked dude look like he got killed to the other players - Extreme pain tolerance (his hand wound was terrible, average person would pass out,) (He most likely let himself faint too when his goal of getting his friend out of trial was achieved)
Taizen Shiba's last words of asking Yuuichi to forget Yuka could mean that Yuka somehow did something to Yuuichi, possibly manipulating him in a way or doing something terrible to him that made Yuuichi feel frustration and sadness. Taizen Shiba asking Yuuichi to forgive her could mean that he wants Yuuichi to not kill Yuka because she might be related to him in a way, maybe apart of the ninja clan???????????? 😱😱😱😱
I think Yuuichi straight up kills Yuka. I could be wrong but the boss in the rocking chair had bigger breasts compared to Yuka and I have a feeling that they added quotation marks around "scar" because it might not literally be a scar, but the scar of having Yuka murdered which could be their daugther since the boss smashed the glass that covered the photo of Yuka and Yuucihi together with their thumb. The Boss does say that Yuuichi thought that she is dead but it might not be yuka since I think Yuuichi would have actually made sure and would definitely know if they were dead if he is gonna kill someone, so it could mean that the boss could of been ill or something happening to them that made it so Yuuichi thought that they would be dead or something.
Also, Tomodachi game is weirdly able to slip under law enforcement and has immense funding since they own a cruise ship, a whole island, and a bunch of other shit. They could have a comically corrupt person backing them to make it so they slip under law enforcement for the time they've been in operation for and them being a ninja clan would have immense money and connections to have the comically corrupt person back them.

Mayuriswife and I had the most mystical day ever!!!🕊️ We went out to the mall and we had so much fun. It was not too busy luckily so we could make our rounds without issue! Shinji and I got matching bracelets. I also may have splurged and got him a Rolex.😉 Mayuri got Mayuriswife a concussion (hit by a comically large chair.) She is alright though she is not bound by human limitations.👍 She says he just "gets silly like that" on occasion! I do not know what that means! Me and Shinji shared a wonderful amount of time with eachother and our pals. I took my dear wherever he wished and let his desires run wild in whichever stores he fancied. The moments we shared were irreplaceable. I am so happy to have a wonderful man like him in my life. His personality brings a brightness to my day that no other ever has. I hope to share many more of these adventures with my sunshine.🌅
