dude, imagine being kenji iwamura, building an SOS sign as a last hope, eventually passing away, and five years later your last hope saves 2 hikers

And here i am watching 3 hour long horror stories compilation with all sorts of outwardly chants 😨

[@blackmailz]

My theory 1. Iwamura wasn't seriously injured, he was simply stranded in the area. The place he was stranded in was incredibly difficult to escape from. He can't backtrack or find his way out. In fact, a crewmate from the news team visited the area and couldn't escape. They had to be rescued from there to escape. It was even mentioned in the tape recording that Iwamura couldn't escape because of the bamboo shrub being in his way and that he was stuck in that place. It's very possible that he recorded it as he was losing his voice so he could use the recording as substitute to gain attention from rescue member. This along with the poor mic quality could also serve as a reason as to why his family member couldn't recognize his voice. 2. As mentioned before, if Iwamura wasn't injured, he could've just as well spent his time there making an SOS sign. In the tape, he mentioned helicopter. It's possible that he noticed the helicopter the first time around and decided to build the SOS sign so he can get it's attention later on if the helicopter comes back again. As to what tools he could've used, that is unknown but my theory is that it's lost to nature or discarded after it was broken. 3. Birch wood is incredibly resilient. Under the right condition, it could easily last 5 years, maybe more before it deteriorate beyond recognition. They are some of the toughest and weather resistant wood, which is why it's a popular choice for buildings.

[@xyl1981]

Love ur analysis!!

[@13gan]

I think he doesn't even need tools to create that sign. For one, fallen trees and logs are quite common in forests, usually caused by strong wind/storm and assuming that the clearing he made the sign are near a birch forest, then there would be plenty of fallen trees scattered around for him to drag and assemble. It's possible that he got his injuries after or during the making of the SOS sign which would explain why he can't return to tree where he stashed his belongings (most likely also his temporary shelter). If he was injured before (for example in the bamboo thickets and clift that was mentioned in the video), then the sheer exhaustion from making the sign and lack of food/water might cause him to choose staying near the sign in case a helicopter spotted him. We don't exactly know the extend of his injuries so just the fact he have broken bones doesn't mean that he's unable to move or even bleeding.

[@Bepanthen3HTeamOffi]

Your theory sounds plausible indeed. And I like to think that Mr Iwamura has gained some good karma from his effort that lead to saving 2 live, plus now he can properly get a burial, instead of remains stranded in the mountain. So all in all, a good-ish ending.

[@CLLim-pn3hx]

Hey, Sushii, speaking of Japan, there was also an incident in Japan where a man was stuck *inside, in-between the pipes* of an old squatting toilet. He died inside the female toilets, and his death was a mystery if you connect timelines. I don't know all the details but really, I just would love to see you go through this case. Japan's toilet case. People say he crawled in there to be a pervert, others said he was put in the pipes to die, making it a murder case, but who knows? Would love to see your thoughts on this one, really.

[@cornershe]

i love how sushii went from "woah this dude has balls of steel" to "woah i have balls of steel for covering these topics"

[@astrqls_6344]

how can u be a storyteller, comedian, and theory guy at the same time wtf

[@roincec]

My theory: He fell into the hole in the tree, found a Hallucigenia that made him into a Titan. With the strength of the titan he can break the trees with his brute strength and lay them up as SOS signs. As for the reason why he did not try to leave the place as a titan? It's the same reason why he could have placed all these trees instead of using his strength to leave the mountain, he simply do not know where to go and which direction it is towards civilisation.

[@rizkyoctavianto2560]

I wouldve thought there are 2 other theories: 1. The two hikers are the pranksters, they heard about Kenji's dissapearance, found his items and thought it'd be fun to make huge SOS sign, make voice recordings then act like they know nothing 2. Stretchier than the UFOs but Kenji's spirit is taking care of the two hikers

[@blackmailz]

The SOS sign was found on topographic map data at the latest 20th Sept 1987, the two hikers were found in 1989 so it can't be them Also the place where the SOS sign was is VERY difficult to escape from.

[@rizkyoctavianto2560]

@@blackmailz oh mightve missed it, thanks!

[@ouiouimonami8704]

could it just be that he was fine at first, then built the SOS sign, and later on got injured and fractured his whole a*s body

[@GamingPurpose69]

This is exactly what I thought of too. However, I don't think it is possible to create the SOS sign without any tools unless the tool was hidden well and was not found by the search party. The parents not recognizing the voice may be due to poor microphone and playback quality.

[@tonyyao4785]

That’s logical, he might have got on an expedition to get food or water. This would mean leaving the premises and taking the tools used to build the sign as hunting equipment.

[@SometimesRPG13579]

In the end, the S.O.S did help the two hikers in the end. So there's that at least.

[@aqilaiman9739]

Finally a new video. I totally love your content. Which you more often. Anyway, I've heard a lot of mystery stories but this one I never had. Very interesting, and you're so funny it makes the story even better. Greetings from USA.

[@Jinocidal]

This is very interesting. Maybe I missed something but could he have built the sign before getting injured? Even if that is true, no tools were found which was weird… unless they have all fallen by themselves and he carried the fallen logs. Then was left undiscovered so he tried to live in the mountains and eventually got hunted by an animal

[@theBallisticMystic]

Ooh, I like this one. It's very intriguing when you think about the amount of effort it would have taken to make the SOS versus just getting off the mountain. I think someone else made it, someone with the time and energy

[@junkailiew6669]

i cant unhear everytime sushii said "huge SOS sign" as "huge ass OS sign"

[@shuetyeel.6018]

Hi Sushi, will you be interested in doing a video on Karak Highway 🇲🇾

[@Heaventhia]

Speaking of recordings, this reminds me of an paranormal incident 22 years ago involving an plane crashed resulting all 225 deaths. However 6 days after the incident, a guy received a voice message from an unknown person or source, the voice is a male crying with a tragic tone "i do not want to die" with sea waves could be heard. Suspect it could be one of the victims from the air incident.

[@lemon2524]

Nice video

[@timothytan3981]

May be his leg was broken from building the SOS sign due to karma from cutting down the trees. Please do the "The future I saw" manga before next year July.

maybe he was playing minecraft and he shape shifted into steve chopped a few birch trees down, make an axe pickaxe , mined some iron and made a iron axe. Hence he was able to make the sos sign. However he accidentally hit a wolf that bit him and killed him.

He got that Minecraft hands I actually think he cut down those trees with his hands cuz like he went missing for quite some time rite so maybe during that time he made that SOS sign and like idk buried himself alive like Mr beast :/

[@user-kx1wy6pf4v]

Maybe he wasn’t alone, and he built the SOS to save Someone else and died falling down the cliff to get help for whoever was with him

[@si...]

U should do mh370 because there is newly discovered information about it and it might be found soon

[@cloverisfan818]

Why did i watch this at 3am

[@endor8witch]

i think he recorded his tape because he knew he may not have the energy to keep shouting to anyone who may be nearby to help. so he recorded himself shouting to replay many times in hopes someone walking by may hear and help. also i dunno how the bones examination went from woman with blood type o to man with blood type a lol

[@al-fp4qm]

He mightve just pulled a minecraft for the sos signs considering there were no tools

[@DLNOT]

Any chance to make a video on the missing Dutch ladies in Panama jungle?

[@88feji]

ehh ... probably made the SOS before he got injured . I think he was lost after many hours trying to find his way so he created the SOS sign..... but after that he's caught in a dilemma whether to stay near the SOS sign waiting for someone to rescue him or to carry on finding his way out .... in the end he walked some distance and got injured ... Its just sad that even the helicopters surveying the aread did not notice his SOS signs for years even after capturing it in their ariel footages..

[@Jinx_thecat]

"Demons & spirits are like sharks, where there's a wound & they smell blood they will go immediately. They will invite each other & come with everything cos its an opportunity. Demons enter ppl becos of wounds-its the only way that a body can be penetrated is when its opened. When ppl talk about opening doors, its a wound. Generational curse is a wound- its not some door that opens & closes. Nobody wants evil in their lives. Most negative behaviour we have is bcos of a wound."

[@seraphe]

Theory #4 Another group of otaku found the body and made the SOS coz they don't want to report to the authority themselves or be associated with the discovery of the body.
