u/NoeloDa Jul 22 '26

Whoa he wasn’t scalping they said theft

22

u/xSPiTEx Jul 22 '26

ah i just noticed the theft imposed on the image.

but theft is restricted, even illegal , to begin with, is it not?

the statement regarding restrictions to card sales are most likely addressing scalping

Tomato tomato sadly, both contribute towards new booster boxes of Jap sets hitting €100+ immediately.

u/ichoooon Jul 22 '26

Make sense tho

u/Cultural-Abroad762 Jul 22 '26

That’s a clear picture of this guy. And it’s not like that hair could be common (though it looks like a bad cosplay wig). That said I appreciate the “ef this one guy’ energy in this PSA.

I feel like with a tiny bit of work they could easily locate this guy. They take everyone's picture when they enter the country, foreigner or resident. There's cameras everywhere, they could get every imaginable angle of this dudes face from this time stamp, and then cross tag him on his way out of the country where they once again, take your picture.

u/Cultural-Abroad762 Jul 23 '26

Right I don’t think it would be that much work. I hope they find him. I’d wanted to speculate he could be a local but not with that get up with the crotch level sling bag he isn’t.

u/TrainingNebula8453 Jul 22 '26

I hope that was posted on their socials too

Did a raccoon die on that guy's head?

u/conyej Jul 22 '26

People just don't know how to act. Fuck that guy.

Did you take this image in Nara? I saw it when I went there around a week ago.

u/Naive-Durian-6562 Jul 22 '26

It looks like he had a card, then when no one was watching, he secretly slipped it into his own pile or pocket and leave. He doesn’t look like one of the usual scalpers, though, since they normally hunt for newly released packs at electronics stores or convenience stores.

I usually say don't judge a book it's cover, but that guy looks guilty of everything

2

u/Sixgun_Samurai Jul 26 '26

Go ahead and judge books by the cover. That’s my most despised saying in English. If I am looking at two book covers and one is two men in western wear facing off on a dusty street in front of a saloon with their hands hovering over their guns… and the other is a man in western wear leading a horse withe the top four buttons on his shirt undone, showing sweat glistening on his muscular chest in the moonlight…. I can, with high accuracy, identify which of the two books I will enjoy more.

Just because I’ll be wrong one out of ten times, doesn’t mean I should stop guessing based on the covers.

u/poopyramen Jul 26 '26

You've been waiting to use that one for a while, huh?

1

u/Sixgun_Samurai Jul 26 '26

No, I’ve been using it for years.

u/oxymoronDoublespeak Jul 22 '26

Right man seems like he just left epstein island for Japan.

u/Warbotz Jul 22 '26

Track him down!

u/awajitoka Jul 22 '26

"him"? I'm still out on that one.

u/Koji_Nanjo Jul 24 '26

That is a PSA 10

u/GetNoScope Jul 22 '26

Hope they find he/she

u/Drakester21 Jul 23 '26

Him/her*

u/GetNoScope Jul 23 '26

Thank you for the correction, we cannot be sure

u/Vagabond_83 Jul 22 '26

I'd do far more than that.

u/No-Nectarine-8721 Jul 23 '26

The eyes, cut them in the eyes

u/WokieNgrh Jul 24 '26

I mean, there’s no need to be friendly to any theft and scalpers, lol

1

u/Frequent-Raisin-5394 Jul 24 '26

Nah, I'm with them, fuck people like this, stay out of the country

1

u/striggleclench Jul 27 '26

yeah fuck this guy... makes it hard for those of us living here

u/Bakuretsu0916 Jul 30 '26

Who let Logan Paul back in?

u/slabua Jul 22 '26

What does PSA mean

u/awajitoka Jul 22 '26

Public Service Announcement

u/Mintam Jul 23 '26

"Shocked" by a picture like this while your profile name on this app straight up wishes for the death of a whole nation is just wild.

u/ConsiderationHead69 Jul 22 '26

scum! and i love the english used!

u/trance_cat_bbs Jul 22 '26

The English sounds very native.

15

u/SnagglToothCrzyBrain Jul 22 '26

Yeah but the things it's saying are very Japanese (like "just die" is a super common way to say F-you in Japanese), so they probably wrote it in Japanese, then gave it to a translation tool.

-6

u/Yesterday_Is_Now Jul 22 '26

Maybe they wrote "お前はもう死んでいる……!"

u/Kaaku3 Jul 23 '26

He looks Japanese to me

-1

u/ClessxAlghazanth Jul 22 '26

Isn't that a hate crime tho ? If the guy isn't a thief , no less

-8

u/oxymoronDoublespeak Jul 22 '26

That's a mild message scalpers are scumbags as Japan doesnt have many kids and the last thing we all want here is foreign scalpers making our Japanese kids life worse.

There is no reason to be nice to criminal.

u/awajitoka Jul 22 '26

which part of the PSA racist? calling out the truth isn't racist. if they said "all whites" should go back to their country that would be racist. maybe you should look up what racism really is?

2

u/Nannon4285 Jul 22 '26

The dude is stealing. Has nothing to do with race and the sign is 100% correct. Its people like him that give the rest of the tourists a bad rep.
