Hello everyone.

Awesome work by J-lan and Nemesismode!

Sorry for the slight delay, there was a lot of things needed to be done on this video and I’ll explain what in the end of this text.

What the episode is about:

Because of the large amount of footage recorded for the detective batsu it’s difficult to find air time for all the unseen footage. This episode is one such example!

Endo “supposedly” recorded a live discussion/panel show special for “nico nico douga” a famous video sharing platform in Japan. The discussion was about the “Future of Japan”. 6 participants and a host were invited to talk about current events in japan. Endo has recently participated in a lot of news talk shows on TV so him being on this special “stream” wasn’t strange. But why is he invited to these intellectual debates when he’s not known to be the sharpest knife in the box?? This “Verification” video is to test endo’s skills in debate and judging by the title, Endo was the subject of a big prank!



It was all presented to him very casually, some of the guests have been on TV before and have either high formal education or great knowledge about current japanese politics etc. But some on the other hand appear to have less knowledge. One of them being an idol girl, the second, a former hostess and finally what seems to be a “regular athlete”. Endo is then asked before hand to on air try to strengthen their confidence and help them if needed.

There’s one huge catch though. The guests on the show are not inexperienced at all, but rather the opposite, one of many people who are outspoken about subjects such as social studies and current events in japan. Basically people with a strong academic background.

Slowly, as the episode and fake show goes on, Endo starts to realise he’s the odd one out by far and is beginning to suspect something. As the guests start to discuss the “future of japan” very intellectually Endo has little to bring to the table and much like the “Hamada’s trip to Enoshima”, Endo has some good and funny quotes on display.

Enjoy this hilarious episode! What will Endo do when he is outnumbered by smarter people?

Typesetters note:

So, the reason for the delay of this episode is because of the effects I had to deal with in this episode. in TPF we really want to bring you good subs so we ask ourselves how far do you really have to go? How much effects will make the screen cluttered? etc. We gotta keep it simple to make subs easy to follow and read but at the same time we want to imitate the japanese text and effects as much as possible to keep a standard. Well, I wasn’t very satisfied with the design and layout of the subs on this one and I had to compromise a lot, removing and adding some things. In the end, it left me with some scenes being a little too cluttered. So have that in mind when watching the video. Focus on the dialogue and laugh as much as you can anyway! The episode is hilarious, I guess this is one of those things you have to learn from and get support from your fellow typesetters to know what standard we want on subs. Ok, that’s it for me.

Take care!
