Tokyo: My obsession with China led me to become the king of Japanese entertainment.

This is Zihao, an ordinary Chinese tokusatsu enthusiast.

He recently started following a very talented tokusatsu (special effects) streamer.

To be precise, the other party's core field is not tokusatsu. He was originally a well-known indie game producer in the gaming sector. Later, he signed with a Japanese agency and transformed into an idol trainee. He should have had nothing to do with the tokusatsu sector.

Unfortunately, the other party had too powerful a background.

Zihao still remembers the shock he felt about a week ago when he saw Takeru Satoh greet the audience in somewhat broken but sincere Chinese and earnestly answer their questions in Jun Sakurada's live stream.

For the first time, he felt no jealousy whatsoever towards a streamer whose livestream was overflowing with gifts; he simply felt that the streamer deserved the attention.

Jun Sakurada's live streams don't have many fancy elements; they focus on sincerity and solid content.

But these two points alone are enough to overwhelm the vast majority of live streamers in the tokusatsu (special effects) category.

After that, watching Jun Sakurada's live streams in his spare time became a habit for Zihao.

Although most of Jun Sakurada's live streams consist of gameplay and production of his own games, his casual remarks while working on serious matters often contain some rather sensational gossip.

In addition, the game stream called "Monster Survivor" was indeed quite fun, so many viewers stuck with it.

Tonight, Zihao opened Sakurada Jun's live stream as usual, planning to listen to the stream while doing his own work.

But this time, before he could even turn off the screen, he immediately realized something was wrong.

Run-ge... what's wrong with you today?

Her delicate face was now horribly pale, her eyes were slightly red, and the evasiveness and haggardness in her gaze were clearly visible.

She bit her lower lip slightly, as if she was suppressing some emotion, but it also seemed like she was about to burst out.

A look of haggardness, sadness, and a hint of anger that he had been trying to hide appeared on Jun Sakurada's face for the first time today.

On ordinary days, Jun Sakurada often pretends to be serious, spouting witty remarks and using all sorts of Chinese internet slang without batting an eye. Moreover, he is never pretentious or fussy, and communicating with him is like talking to a good brother in real life.

This linguistic sociability and approachability makes the audience subconsciously overlook his other characteristics.

But now, when he breaks down, when he no longer maintains that strong and mature persona...

It was only later that everyone realized how incredibly impactful this excessively handsome young man was when he displayed a sense of fragility and helplessness.

This caused viewers in the live stream to spam question marks, while also inexplicably having a premonition that something terrible was about to happen.

"What's wrong with Run-ge?" Zihao tentatively sent a comment.

"...Good evening everyone, I'm fine." Jun Sakurada managed a weak smile, but it was a far cry from his usual casual demeanor, and his voice even carried a hint of a sob.

"I just... ran into a little trouble, and I feel really sorry for everyone, that I've let everyone down."

It seemed that Zihao's comment had triggered his outpouring of words, or perhaps his defenses had reached their limit; at this moment, Sakurada Jun slightly loosened his tongue:

"At first, I thought it was a win-win situation, and everyone would benefit if it was made possible. I never thought that anyone would stop it."

"But now I realize that I was too naive in some of my ideas and failed to see what was hidden beneath the surface."

"I'm really, really sorry everyone. I received so much expectation from you all..."

As he spoke, he suddenly bowed deeply, his forehead hitting the keyboard with a crisp sound. When he raised his head, a red mark had appeared on his fair forehead.

This statement instantly stunned all the viewers in the live stream.

What happened? Why did they apologize? Why did it fail?

But Jun Sakurada seemed unwilling to say any more.

The live stream began in this extremely oppressive atmosphere. Sakurada Jun was still receiving feedback from players while studying the code and practicing the game, but he was no longer as talkative as usual.

If any viewers ask what happened to him, he doesn't answer; he just apologizes repeatedly, saying sorry over and over again.

Because of his emotional state, the viewers in the live stream didn't dare to say much.

But outside the live stream, in areas such as Baidu Tieba, things had already exploded.

"What's wrong with Runzi? Why did he suddenly break down like that?"

"They said something very important had suddenly come up and they couldn't proceed, and they even apologized to us... Could it be related to Daigo?"

"Could it be that Nagano Hiroshi's return and appearance on the live stream have been hindered? But didn't he say last time that their president, Takizawa, was actively pushing for it?"

The discussion gradually turned into panic. Although Jun Sakurada didn't say anything, his vulnerable attitude and constant apologies allowed astute viewers to vaguely perceive the hidden truth:

Nagano Hiroshi's return seems to have encountered some problems.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for countless eagerly awaiting viewers and fans.

Some people wanted to question Jun Sakurada, but Jun himself refused to speak, and his distressed and broken appearance made it hard to blame the boy who had been so actively pushing this matter. So others could only guess.

Who did it? What was their reason? How were they able to do it? Is there any way to back down?

When Chinese netizens get impatient and turn into detectives, many things can no longer be easily covered up.

The first issue to be uncovered was the factional problem within Johnny & Associates.

Unlike Kitagawa's own scandals, which could be covered up, factionalism has always been an open issue, with numerous summary videos and articles online, making it easy to find out with a little research.

When netizens saw that within Johnny's Entertainment, both "Vice President Takizawa" mentioned by Jun Sakurada and V6, to which Hiroshi Nagano belonged, were neutral and being suppressed by Fujishima's Empress faction, they seemed to have found some answers.

Panic and confusion began to evolve into anger.

As one of them, Zihao actively participated in these discussions while collecting relevant information from various channels, trying to find more of the truth.

At the same time, he also retained a sliver of wishful thinking:

What if it has nothing to do with Ultraman Tiga and is just Jun Sakurada's personal matter?

However, this stroke of luck instantly turned into boundless rage the moment another piece of news broke.

"Something terrible has happened! Tiga! Tiga's resources have suddenly disappeared!"

"And it's not just one platform, it's all the platforms—suddenly, we can't watch the Ultraman Tiga movies anymore!"

As if struck by lightning, Zihao almost trembled as he searched for the full episodes of Ultraman Tiga on various video websites, and sure enough...

Either it disappears completely, or the displayed content is under adjustment and optimization.

The reason is currently unknown.

That's great, no need to go through any more certifications.

They've come to bully our local area.
