“I’ve done this many times”
The trigger was a video released on March 8 titled “The price of a Pokemon card on the wall has increased by 2 million yen, and who will take responsibility?” Gadoman-san’s “Pokemon cards” used in the prank video released in June 2019 are soaring in the current second-hand market. The most expensive one is said to cost as much as 62,000 yen.
At the end of the video, Gadoman-san, who was in the living room at home, instructed Yama-chan, who was with him, to bring the “Yu-Gi-Oh card” that was kept in the room on the second floor. Yama-chan says he can’t find the card, but Gadoman-san says that when he moved to his current new home, Yama-chan was the one who sent the package containing the card on his behalf.
Gadoman-san asked, “You sell it,” but Yama-chan insisted, “We don’t.” However, in a video showing the continuation of the exchange released on the 9th, Yama-chan said, “I sold it” after being pressed by Mr. Guardman.
On the same day, a video titled “Yama-chan will be leaving today” was also released. The card was said to have been sold at a card shop in Shinjuku, Tokyo in early February. Guardman-san said, “It’s hard to say in the video, but Yama-chan does this kind of thing many times.” “Yo”, “I thought it wasn’t going to happen this time”, etc. He also puts out a telop, “I’m at the limit of my patience.”
Mr. Gadoman declares, “Yama-chan is fired.” In the future, Yama-chan will not be involved in the channel, but he said, “I will take care of him so that he can live.”
“Tattoo, really carved”
Yama-chan appeared midway through and apologized, saying, “Everyone. Mr. Gadoman said many harsh words, but at the end he said, “Do your best. Change your mind. Don’t fly, next job.”
On the 11th, a video titled “I tried to get a tattoo of a card stolen from a security guard[Dokkiri]” was released. Yama-chan reappeared and started saying things like, “I’ve decided to quit, but what I did in my own way is kind of a slap in the face” and “I want MY-kun to see Gadoman and MY-kun.” I turned up the hem of my hoodie.
The exposed chest was covered with a mosaic, but MY, who turned the camera, commented, “It’s a tattoo, it’s really carved. It’s not a sticker.” The design of the Yu-Gi-Oh card, which was the decisive factor in leaving, is also shown separately. A video of a carver engraving a pattern on Yama-chan’s body was also released with mosaics. Gadoman-san showed a subtle reaction to Yama-chan, who said he had a tattoo, but he also gave words of encouragement.
The viewers who watched the video made comments such as, “It’s really kind of you to save him even though he’s really hopeless”, “I can’t help what I’ve done, but it’s hard not being able to see Yama-chan”. was taken. On the other hand, the members, including Yama-chan, have made comebacks several times after declaring their withdrawal from the group. Please do your best with the three of you!” “There is nothing as light as the words of channel ga-doman’s withdrawal” were also seen.
