What's even worse, as I remember from Charlie's video on it, he never recovered from this. His mental state was so horrible that he wasn't able to talk to people without being nervous anymore, he couldn't become a comedian because of how nervous he was, and he couldn't wear clothes normally because they felt itchy on him after all that time without clothing. Edit: Why are you guys so adamant on calling me a liar? Is what I remember a lie or is it just what I remember?

THANK YOU! I was really upset that this channel just ended the video without telling us how he's doing now. He just told us what happened on the game show and then that's it roll credits. When I really wanted to know how he's doing now, if he has lasting health effects, if he did end up becoming a famous actor and used to this as a springboard for his career, how he ended up reintegrating into society, how being on the show affected him socially!

Instead, he became a local talent in his native Fukushima, as well as a dramatic stage actor, founding the stage troupe Eggplant Way, performing across Japan. He has appeared in Densha Otoko, Trick and Atashinchi no Danshi, and portrayed the character Watcherman in Kamen Rider W. He also appeared in the game 428: Shibuya Scramble. In 2016, Hamatsu successfully scaled Mount Everest after two aborted attempts in 2014 and 2015.”

Nasubi has also been actively volunteering in his hometown Fukushima after the 2011 earthquake, and he has challenged Everest four times, succeeding in reaching the summit in 2016. Even about the harsh TV show he had to endure, he later commented, 'Through the Life of Prizes, I was mentally trained and became stronger.' He is a kind-hearted person with mental and physical strength. I sincerely wish for his happiness.

[@e-zombie]

Very easy you make the show stay in a limbo between grotesque and curious also the narrator with his funny remarks and nasubi's progressively declining mental health that made him a very distant and random figure if you comparevit to your average japanese employee contributed to the de-humanization of nasubi in the eyes of the viewers making it a pretty funny stereotype of a crazy eremite

[@BaobhanloreArt]

To be honest, I struggle to see the choice to participate in the Korea challenge as true consent because he was clearly not mentally well enough to give it. He probably was so stuck in the loops that he hadn't completely gotten out of that way of living. I feel so bad for the poor guy. I hope he got the help and compensation he deserved.

You can't say that, he still consented, he's no child, and he could've quit anytime, but for whatever reason he kept going. Perhaps because he's no quitter or believes he can do it no matter the challenge.

[@swagtastical]

@@xlrbossshorts you can definitely say it was barely consensual, he was mentally fucked up and clearly isnt able to make a decision like that after a single day of outside exposure

[@distrust_us]

​@@xlrbossshorts just as a mentally unfit person would not be able to stand trial, a mentally unfit person would not be able to consent. as someone who is consistently isolated, it takes a while to step back and process that my way of living would easily make someone else feel pathetic within hours. you cannot immediately be adjusted in just a day to come to the decision they gave him. he did not see how isolation was changing him as an outsider's perspective can. that's pretty obvious

[@sugarparfait]

@@xlrbossshorts i understand your point and where you're coming from, so i absolutely don't mean this negatively towards you (nor do i want to sound 'condescending'), just simply making discussion :) but you really do have to take into account the effects it had on his mental health / mentality that influenced his decision though. say for example a child is groomed by their parent consistently and then eventually grow to want to continue that relationship and consent to advances made by their parent, does that make it an okay or fully conscious decision? not at all. yes, it's dubious consent, the child said yes, but they never would have were it not for the circumstances and suffering they had to face which affected their mentality. a similar situation happens here in which he has been living under these conditions for a long time where we can visibly see the mental deterioration, and when given the choice to opt out for the 'second round', he says yes. because his mind was already so broken from the prior torture, the consent he gives here is also pretty dubious... yes, he's an adult who is capable of making good decisions, but after being trapped in a room for ages living primarily off of plain rice with no real social interaction, that adult gets worn down and ruined. the fact that they upped the stakes to prolong his torture without even informing him or asking if he wanted to go higher proves they couldn't really give two shits about real consent. (and really, who's to say they wouldn't try to convince him to stay regardless? i'm sure there'd be some attempt to manipulate or bribe him back into the show so they can milk him even more..) all in all, it was definitely not REAL consent, but it also wasn't entirely non consensual, hence why i believe it was dubious consent ^^ (i hope this made sense..)

[@Evanz111]

Dude I remember first learning about this and being shocked that more people weren’t aware of it. People watch shows like Black Mirror and see it as a bleak example of how our future may look, not realising some of those concepts are a reality in other countries.

[@GoldenPandoria]

the moment the room's walls fell down my jaw flew to the floor and it hit me all at the same time just how fucking despicable this whole show was. He didn't consent to the extra time in Korea. He didn't consent to being shown naked to hundreds of people live. He was fucking broken and they kept trying to milk him more and more. Jesus christ. And I thought we were ENTERING the cyberpunk dystopic future- we were knees deep in for more than 20 years already. Great video, Brandon- kept me hooked the entire time. Well, all of your videos do- but yeah. Great stuff.

[@WhitneyDahlin]

I disagree. Brandon never told us what happened! The video just ended! He didn't tell us how his life is going now or what he's doing now or if he had lasting mental or physical health problems from the show. It was never explained if he ended up becoming famous and used to this experience as a springboard for his career or what!! He just told us what happened on the show then rolled credits. I feel like he ended the story halfway through. So I don't agree that this was a great video. It feels unfinished.

the editing is wonderful. it even included things i hadnt seen, despite being fancy, and it didnt need an extensive amount of Showing/Proving it was different clips. it spoke for itself. gonna peek at more stuff here with ya

[@Emel_unlegit]

I like this style of vids honestly. You make documentary level videos since the days of VRC (which were amazing btw) and so is this vid. Just amazing dude and you deserve every bit of rapid growth you get

[@main2333]

People are so cruel to give him dog food. I’m starting to think no one got to send him anything. The people who ran the show did for views! I’m sure of it. Cause if I saw this show. I would of sent him food, clothes a rice cooker and blanket/ pillow. So when the walls fell down. Where is all of his stuff he won. The room looks smaller. Did they move him again?

Dude said, "Hold up. I still got some questions". They said, " yeah naw yeah naw yeah naw yeah naw, good luck".

Ive gladly been a part of your community since the first video and i love seeing the new ones every time this one came out really quickly after the last one so im super pumped thank you for making a amazing video just like every other time

Absolutely buzzing every time this channel drops new content

Every culture has it's own dark corners and ive been in some of them but there's something about the dark corners in Japan that frighten my cold heart

[@redacted2275]

Do you even know the "dark corners" of the culture of any country? It is well known that Japanese reality and game shows are masochists and Japanese TV is asinine, do you prefer to be exposed to dark sides of cultures with sugar, spice and everything nice covering them? This show is not nearly as vile as HoIIywood's inside businesses to this day, plus this happened in 1998, the show was taken off the air in 2002 because of Japanese laws created because of it. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

I also loved his ambition to keep fighting and pushing forward he never gave up and fought hard even though he knew those were inhumane conditions. He kept his focus on the big prize

Always a good day when Brandon uploads.

[@sebzeyt2327]

I love the style of your video production. even though its on a very gruelsome topic your quality of making content is great!

[@mf_swagger]

The dark and disturbing truths of reality. They are nothing but facts that need not be praised. I respect this man for covering such a, well, disturbing subject. Someone needed to.

[@CeruleanScribbles]

Seeing a new upload is like getting a puppy (that you wanted) for Christmas. I LOVE this channel

[@wabsibabsi]

This is so disgusting.. Nasubi said yes to those challenges but it’s just sick what they did to a human.

[@Ethan-uq2ew]

"Why are they laughing?" Jesus fucking christ I got chills.

[@Ilovemaltipoos]

It was sickening.

[@Noah60]

Its so infuriating how cruel they were to him...

[@yoda-memes]

New Brandon upload!!! I remember this man. He is still dealing with the psychological damage from what I remember.

[@jazn7030]

The video production and editing is insanely good. this video is one of the best videos i’ve ever seen produced on youtube.

[@justheretocomment4810]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the quality and editing of this video? You deserve way more than 150k subs

[@plebula_9894]

Dude your graphics and transitions and editing is fucking amazing great work

[@Sphynx-bi7eg]

This is so sad, and like how is it not illegal to change the amount he has to win, like was there no contract or something?

[@emawazowski7416]

Hi Brandon!! Thank you for making this video. I watched this video numerous of times and decided to use your video for my English project!! I got 100% on it! Thank you so much!!!

[@blackmesadog4593]

The "Why are they laughing" hits so hard

[@Numenides]

Makes me sick to my stomach, how this event was even possible. In full light of the public degrading and torturing a human. This couldnt be possible in our culture.

[@sunkenjustin]

[@kky8n]

the editing of this video is phenomenal, the quality is comparable to that of nexpo’s

[@AustinMoore2004]

the way this is the exact same concept as the black mirror episode “white bear” is fucking disturbing like black mirror has always been a crazy absurd show, but to see one of its episodes mimic a REALITY show? it goes to show how far this reality show went i just feel so physically disgusted seeing his face when the walls drop

[@MarkQub]

i feel so bad for him, putting myself in his shoes, man i hope hes doing well now.

[@qwebi1969]

DUDEEE sick video i loved every bit of it, excellent story telling!!!!!!!
