29-year-old burns house down after mom trashes his Gundam collection |
Ó
We know that they went a little Gundam-crazy in Japan last month, but
this is taking crazy to a whole new level. 29-year-old factory worker
Yoshifumi Takabe has been put under arrest for burning his house down,
all because his mom trashed his precious Gundam figure collection.Lots of problems with that one: a) he burned the place he goes home to; b) he still lives with his mom; c) he's gonna share a cell with a dude that'll treat him worse than a Gundam toy.
Okay, so 29-year-olds still living with their mothers are perfectly acceptable in some countries, especially those with family-oriented cultures. But for Takabe's mom, she should've kicked him out when she had the chance. Takabe, as the story went, intended to kill himself after getting into a fight with his mom over his Gundam figure collection. Apparently, mom disposed of her son's precious Gundam collection for reasons unrevealed.
In an attempt to kill himself, Takabe soaked his room up in kerosene, got a lighter, and burned their two-storey 2,700sq. ft. house to the ground. It's worth noting that despite this thing being a suicide attempt, Takabe made it out alive and unscathed. And yes, mom made it alive unscathed too.
When Gundam-crazy is within norms:
- More Gundam and a 14-meter tall Gundam float
- From manly to frilly: Pink Gundam surfaces all flowered and bejeweled

Sucks to be him. Not only do kits cost from $40 all the way up to $300 or more. A straight build can take from 3 hours to 15 hours and that is not including the time you spend painting or detailing them.
Otaku is strong in this one....
hardly gaming related... but anyway. so the guy lives with family... with a 10% unemployment rate i doubt it's that uncommon. mom shouldn't of touched another adult's possessions, son should of realized it wasn't the end of the world... i can see burning down mom's house... eye for an eye and all (yes i'd rather everyone be blind, not just the victims) but killing yourself?
See, this is why anime kids are a bad influence.
Wasn't she aware of how much time one must use to build a single model kit? His entire collection might have taken h8m years to build!! Keroro-gunsou forever!
should have killed the mother..
throwing it out was a stupid thing to do,because it might sell for a lot of money. the way that guy reacted - beyond stupid. if this is what being an otaku can drive you to - i'll pass.
hear hear, yoshi.
This act is so.... Keroro-like... For those whom don't know who Keroro is he's an alien char from a manga in wich he's a gundam maniac ^^
Anime is terrible and even Adult Swim knows it
but it is japan. Maybe stuff like this is normal there.
You never touch a man's Gundam, duh.
your no different from people that claim that video gamers are bad people because some idiot shot a person and because of that every video gamer is consider the same as that idiot. now this guy was obsessed with gumdam that aperently he valued it more than his life itself,nothing good comes out of being obsessed with something.
Viva Le Frog Alien Resistence!
i can tell he has always been single. cause gundam is the most worthless anime that exists to this day
My uncle lived with his mom even he is lawyer because she is a single mom and he actually cook, wash and clean etc for his mom. I think he is a great son. Not like me.. I moved out and I am now full of debt +P
DAMN RIGHT!!
Gundams are bad..Uhmm OK!? Gundams are bad umm OK!? Dont do Gundams cuz they are baaad, uhmmOK!? Mr. Mankey.
you don't trash a collection no matter what is of. she most have not been that respectful towards her son
Get outta here, anime kid. Go defend your kind elsewhere. I'm not saying *all* anime is bad, but 99.9999909% of it is, and the fans are just as bad.
two-"storey" 2,700sq should be two-story.....
Classic British English (original English language - not the one the US cooked up) spells it as "storey".
As far as I know, British English is the English most of the world uses, not American English.
Oh, I never expected to find a comrade here. Is that you, Tamama-kun!?
id be pissed to if something of my collection got trashed but i wouldnt burn down my friken house what an idiot.but cmon how retarted can people be these days.and commiting suicide over a f***en gundam collection?he shouldve died in the fire.hope he gets raped in da butt in jail.
SHOULD've turned her house into a gundam! that ***** will think twice next time!
so he decides to commit suicide by totally torching up his room (and the whole house) and still ends up living....wtf? if he really had the balls, he would of let himself die......COWARD!! but besides that, im pretty impressed to hear that they lived in an actual 2 story house! Arent those just terribly expensive nowadays? shame
I think mmmmkay is what you're looking for m'kay?
who the heck said i even liked anime?
gundam models..lego, enuff said
Well I can actually understand a connection to the gundams even though I've never actually owned any and was never a fan of the hobby collecting, toy painting scene. I have a cousin who was into them and he actually bought them and put them together and painted them and all that and there were gundams that ran hundreds of dollars. The Gundams obviously meant a lot to the guy and they probably were worth thousands and took hundreds of hours. But, I don't care how much you love a hobby, if someone destroyed my life's work I wouldn't try to kill myself (seppuku!!!) This guy is a loser. Not because he lives with his mom (he's got a job and probably could have moved out if he wanted), not because he burned his house down when he lost his Gundams (I'd have gotten revenge too). He's a loser because he tried to kill himself with fire and failed. If his aim was to burn the house I'd tip my hat to him for getting back at a woman who's onviously a b*tch lol.
That's weird he would spell it that way, because he seems to think prison rape is a worldwide issue. FYI it's solely an American thing.
Hi. Both you and the OP made a logically retarded mistake: prison rape is only experienced in America. Also, people that wish rape on others should probably stop breathing.
Instead of loving something dearly, we should hate things we don't understand. It's the white-man's way! Why break tradition?
It's obvious you are with some Japanophile name like "darknaiyo", as stereotypical and unoriginal as it is. And when did I say I hated anime and how did you get the impression I don't understand? It's a well known fact that 99% of anime is garbage since it's the same thing over + over, yet kids like y'all watch Naruto and Bleach and Death Note and think they're mature somehow.
"your no different" should have been written: "you're no different."
he may be a son of a yakuza or somthing like that , but retarded , hope he dznt visit EBAY and search "Gundam collection" after bcz he may burn his face
How many gundams are we talking about? 5...10...OVER 9000!?!?!?!?!
"should have been written:" You should have used an upper-case "S". Your point is?
i dont hate anime or like it, i prefer to read comic, historieta, manhaw, and manga and yeah i like japan,but i also mexico and germany, my username comes from my favorite color(dark/black goes well with all the other colors) and naiyo is from nigel, my point was you calling people "bad influence" because of something they watch. and "99% of anime is garbage" is not a fact and if it is, then is not well known why dont you show me were you got this made up fact from.
Hope they had insurance.
Why do stupid *****s waste their time correcting a grammar error that others make. You know what the person is saying so shut the fck up. *****ing retards live in the stone age or what. This is the age of texting and IMing and so anyone being an annoying ***** about some kind of grammar error needs to get a life. Remember *****s, most people don't care about grammar when texting. BTW I see 100% of the time the *****s who correct others do not capitalize the first word starting their sentence. *****ing retards
bad day?
You should have used an upper-case "S". You should have used an uppercase, "S," with the punctuation inside the quotes. I saw that and just had to say something. Continue the quarreling or beatings shall commence.
@Achooist You should have used "@Matt-N". Also, I shouldn't have used a punctuation inside the quotes. Let's stop this now :oP
I love to watch anime that have great series. If you have an anime addiction, then there is something wrong with you. People with this addiction think anime is like reality. People try to pick up girls with advices that got from an anime.
This is real life, put down your damned phone and learn to have an actual thought provoking discussion
I'd burn down my house and kill myself if my computer disappeared. Its like the most valuable thing in my house anyway...
he called him "Mr. Mankey"...fail
