Alright, let’s bet 20,000 yen! Oh, I agree! Stop it, you guys! Ah, hey! Ahhhh!! Those guys have started fighting! Huh!? It’s Tobita! Yabunaka and the others are being idiots and acting tough. These fools are reversing the situation with the Kiyama faction B. What? The failure of the detention is equivalent to a punishment. In the first place, being in Japan is a mistake. Isn’t it frustrating to keep losing to those guys? That’s right, that’s right! Why did this idiot bring me here?
I like it when there are clear expressions of thought regarding politics like this every now and then.
>>2It’s been a while since I saw a fool who only picks out a part of the work to talk about the author’s thoughts.
It’s irresistible for those who love satire… I feel the same way.
I prefer future predictions over satire.
I like that the police station’s window is broken in a loud voice.
In the old Kochikame, the emergence of 〇〇 was predicted! It’s amazing foresight! But…
Honestly, I think if there are 200 volumes’ worth of stories, something that fits will come up.
It’s something similar to Nostradamus’ great predictions.
>>6Well, that’s true, but the thread’s image is based on actual events, right?
>>10Well, yeah.
This is a response to that…
>>11I thought there were some people who mistakenly believed that the rice shortage of the 90s foresaw the recent spike in rice prices.
I’m sorry.
Funny Poison Uncle
It is not satire.
I often get unreasonably scolded as a representative just because I’m a public servant.
Then just say that, it’s so troublesome.
I have quite a few thoughts regarding the rice riot of the Heisei era.
You’ve made a few stories about it, haven’t you, Akimoto-sensei?
>>13I like that it doesn’t just end with blaming the government and the bad companies.
Even if I say it, demand is decreasing, so we can’t just keep oversupplying without reducing supply.
If you just read it normally, you would understand that the image in the thread is based on the circumstances of the time rather than a prophecy.
If you went out of your way to reply yourself, there’s no such thing as trouble or anything.
Damn it.
It’s not satire; it’s a direct criticism.
>>17If it’s being sent out as Akimoto Osamu, that’s one thing, but if the character is being used, isn’t it leaning towards satire?
Well, either way is fine…
Despite being lacking in words, you have more complaints than others.
The thread image is good because it’s satire or a current events topic.
I think it’s not good to cut out the part of the joke that establishes itself as a gag by being pointed out by Ryo-san or Nakagawa and label it as a valid argument!
You should read Kochikame properly.
>>19Otaku tend to take the random fallacies that Ryotsu spouts out of annoyance and elevate them as if they were logical arguments.
>>25The part about Masashi in volume 42 is still often referenced.
Both Ryotsu and the manager are clearly conveying their desire to push troublesome matters onto someone else.
In other words, is it identity theft… Which is more troublesome?
The country is at fault for the thread unnecessarily getting out of hand!
In the early days, there were strong anti-smoking sentiments and a deep dislike for Kabukicho.
Isn’t it ironic that the ones who say things like this get angry at those who have nothing to do with it?
For now, I think I’ll delete it.
>>27Which one?
The episode about how hot and crazy Tokyo was in the early 2000s.
It’s drawn as a gag based on the heat island phenomenon that was a hot topic at the time.
It feels like it’s no longer a joke.
Ignoring the fact that demand is decreasing in the first place.
Consumers are fickle; they only target things when there’s a commotion.
>>30I really think that’s true.
There were a lot of people saying things like “I’m gaining weight, I don’t need rice.”
You realize its importance only after humans are gone.
“Go hit your head on the concrete and die.”
The issue this time is that there is enough supply to meet the demand, but for some reason, it is not being distributed.
Reduction in rice production has nothing to do with it, really…
>>32It is in circulation.
It’s sold at any supermarket.
At twice the price of last year.
>>32It’s just that various places, including individuals, are securing a bit more inventory than usual, which is why it’s running short.
Back then, during the rice shortage, Ryotsu brought rice because he thought the elderly were in trouble.
It’s a situation where I get a response like, “I don’t eat that much, and it’s not like I’m in trouble without rice.”
>>34Unlike during the war, it feels like there are other things to eat now.
>>36Japan is becoming poorer now, so it’s tough because we can’t just eat something else…
The issue of rice has been discussed continuously in post-war Japan, so there’s no point in making predictions.
Until a little while ago, it was treated as the root of obesity and diabetes.
It’s selfish.
After this, the department head will say something like “the blended rice is a bit…” which will also cause the stock to drop.
>>38The leftover blended rice eventually leads to moonshine, making it a backstory to the episode where beer is poured on the ground.
The public opinion was like this during the rice shortage 30 years ago, and it was also mocked in comics.
Even in the Reiwa era, we are facing a rice shortage and I am reminded that nothing changes across the ages.
The episode where it is revealed that the department head, who complained about wanting to eat Japanese food during a trip to Europe several volumes ago, ended up eating Australian rice at a Japanese restaurant.
Rather than satire, it was just that the issues surrounding the rice acreage reduction policy were a hot topic in this era, so I made it a subject.
It’s a difficult situation because, while actual demand continues to decline, it is also a waste to maintain production levels, and the necessity to reduce cultivated land cannot be avoided.
