So far Adam wore a tampon on his head in public, ordered food then just leaves, and tries to jaywalk in front of cops. He is the definition of a gaijin 😂
-
"Just for fun. Wanna make Scotty walk sideways?" Broke me.
-
Loved how the museum curators unintentionally tried to help Ben and Adam hide from San Also that woman waving at 34:35 is so adorable
-
scotty menacingly approaching by walking sideways at 54:23 made me fall off my bed at 2am
-
-
Adam: *explains a super complicated amazing plan * Ben: Nom *eats microphone *
-
when this is over have a overlay map of all of the paths everyone took through out the series to show how far they traveled
-
this episode had the most INSANE gameplay from ben and adam like holy shit. sam and scotty didn’t even SEE them get on the train because their plan worked so well
-
Adam's more and more urgent sumimasens are involuntarily hilarious.
-
That late train card was incredibly unlucky. Especially after the amazing luck they had with the Jail Tower.
-
Adam and Sam both saying basically the same "it's okay, go the speed you can" to their partners was fantastic and I loved it
-
That museum scene felt like a horror game, that was awesome!
-
When you do this in Germany, you should have a "Catch a train that's on time" card. Edit: Regarding some of the comments on this, I'd like to make clear that in my experience as a regular train commuter in Germany the trains are usually punctual. Germans like to b**ch about the Deutsche Bahn, while majorly not supporting any political action to improve it, and most of its problems are caused by terrible policy. For a microcosm of this, German readers can look up "Alpha E".

It's funny how Adam bought a digital code for an entire Pokémon game just for a challenge
-
26:03 Little fun fact: You can see for a few seconds that the service desk lady has a 🔰 around her neck. That symbol is called Shoshinsha mark (初心者マーク) or Wakaba mark (若葉マーク) and it's placed at the front and the back of a car to signal that the driver has their license for less than a year. But as we see here, it's also used at many other places to signal that somebody is new and doesn't have that much experience yet. So we know that the service desk lady is relatively new at her job. I think I also saw it in some Japanese video games, though I can't remember where exactly... maybe Pokémon? Would make sense with their badges and child trainers..
-
The amount of time spent prepping on game theory is mindboggling. ("To prevent coin shedding before a catch, players...") I'm just stunned by the incredible planning in this game. It's obvious it's a smart game designed and played by very smart people.
-
Fun fact, using the issue of Weekly Shonen Jump at 2:21, we can find out this was filmed about April 17-24, as that issue (20) was released on April 17th
-
SPOILER b/c apparently I have a top comment for the first time ever and I’m not psychic 🙄 Adam not getting to eat that wagyu AND getting tagged is terrible... Sam should have bought him some sympathy beef
-
sam just standing in the doorway was straight out of a horror game. The timing of the lights going dark is insane.
-
ben and adam together just have a certain charm that you dont get anywhere else
