Actors are playing the roles here — so are there even any actual victims?
Money down the drain, seriously.
Public servants really are a bunch of clueless morons.

Mission accomplished — they got to funnel public money to their buddies, that was the whole point.

They didn't even need a tie-up — prisons are already packed with criminals.
Should've just used death row inmates. Those guys definitely aren't reoffending, right?

Not to channel Ryo-san from 'Kochikame,' but this is the whole issue — why do people who did bad things and then "rehabilitated" get put on a pedestal over people who just lived honestly the whole time?
No matter how much you rehabilitate, the people you once hurt never actually forgive you.

Hard to argue with that. Classic Ryo-san.

Then go ahead and protect the human rights of people who never even got prosecuted too, huh?
So this is MEGUMI's pet project — you know, the one who sat down for a chat with the Prime Minister—

Wow, what a convenient little connection.

Honestly I think it's a cool, well-made poster.

What's "Rehabilitation, Bring It On" even supposed to mean lol.
Is the finale gonna have them slick their hair into a side part, put on black-rimmed glasses and a suit, and do a full dogeza apology to their victims?

That camera angle is gross too — like we're crawling on the ground looking up at them from their feet.
That's literally a dogeza (groveling-apology) point of view.

Can't believe this tie-up campaign actually got approved inside a government ministry.

If it's gonna be a reality show, I'd rather watch past bullying victims get revenge on the bullies who are living it up now.
Watch them lose their jobs, their status, get their engagements called off — basically watch their lives fall apart, right there in everyone's living room.
It'd double as moral education for kids today too.

That wouldn't be realistic at all, and it wouldn't be exciting either.
If you're gonna do it, it'd be way more realistic — and more entertaining — to watch a cocky former bullying victim get beaten right back down.

The Justice Ministry… must be full of sheltered rich-kid types who have no clue about the real world.

Probably never experienced a shred of violence in their lives either.

And of course, zero accountability for flushing a huge pile of tax money down the drain!

The Justice Ministry stepping right on a landmine it could clearly see.
It was a landmine, so of course it went off.
Why'd you step on it in the first place?

Probably because they think it's the weak one's own fault for being weak.

Turns out some shady types were feasting on tax money — busted.
Seriously, who in the government came up with this plan lol

Well done, Justice Ministry.
It's rare for a rigid government agency to actually reverse a decision — that's a nice upside of this SNS-driven democratization.
That said, whoever at the Ministry first greenlit the collab with 'Ravu Jōtō' bears heavy responsibility.
Discipline that staffer properly and make sure it hits their performance review hard.
Don't you dare spend tax money cozying up to criminals, whoever planned this!

I want whoever at the Justice Ministry spearheaded this collab to show their face and explain themselves.
A troublemaker does one good deed on a whim → "See, deep down So-and-so's actually a good person."
A normally serious person happens to forget an event and skips it → "See, deep down So-and-so's actually got a dark side."
It's just not fair, honestly.

Even Pol Pot was apparently kind to his own family.
Humans are social animals, so being nice to the people close to you is just baseline stuff — practically on the level of eating and sleeping.
