On the night of the 25th, King Kong’s Ryohei Nishino posted a lengthy statement on his X account saying he was preparing a “notice of intent to sue” against Impulse’s Atsushi Tsutsumishita. On the thread, reactions focused less on whether the claims were true and more on “we can’t tell if this is a bit or if he’s serious,” sparking a mixed debate over Nishino’s comedic style and his recent popularity.

Ryohei Nishino Announces “Notice of Intent to Sue” Against Senior Comedian, Weighs Legal Action: “He Committed Violent Acts Against Me”
Ryohei Nishino (46), of the comedy duo King Kong, updated his X account on the night of the 25th, writing at length that he is considering “legal action” against Atsushi Tsutsumishita (48) of Impulse.
Watching the Discovery Channel is more fun than watching Omiya Park's mascot Peace-kun on YouTube anyway.

It's not comedy until somebody actually gets killed.
Comedians have no common sense to begin with.
7Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 18:30:22.05ID:mrA/roIA0
What is this?
Is this even supposed to be comedy?
9Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 18:30:44.85ID:jo96kugn0
So the senior comedian that Panther's Ogata was hinting he hated in that exposé really was Tsutsumishita after all.

Has Nishino gotten to the point where the only way he can make the general public laugh is by teaming up with Hitori Gekidan?
12Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 18:31:40.17ID:vhAibAkA0
Isn't this actually about Hitori Gekidan, not Tsutsumishita?
17Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 18:37:03.99ID:cOOKho320
Does anyone actually find this funny?
18Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 18:37:10.62ID:pqv/j8Uq0
Is this for real?
Or is it another one of his usual smug, backhanded-politeness bits?

Can't you tell just from reading it?
It's obviously a bit and nothing else.
22Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 18:39:12.79ID:w7tT7DUY0
This long-winded-post routine always bombs, so he really should stop — just some advice from an amateur.

Oh, can the amateur please pipe down?

The article itself was so boring that this is the funniest thing in this whole thread, lol
28Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 18:48:26.80ID:xh+5BS120
If you actually read it properly instead of just reacting on reflex, it's funny.
Being able to dish it out AND take it — leave it to Nishino to be the only one who can pull that off.
Comedy where nobody actually gets hurt.

Who'd have guessed Nishino would become yesterday's news before Nakata did.
33Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 18:50:22.61ID:3MJ6RbNL0
Haven't read it, but isn't this the same kind of bit he does with Kajiwara and others too?
I mean, he's been showing up as a pair on Tsutsumishita's completely unpopular YouTube channel a lot lately.
36Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 18:52:04.09ID:NPFApvTB0
Guys who'd vanish the second the controversy dries up have to keep manufacturing buzz nonstop — rough life.
37Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 18:52:11.28ID:egdbHbHi0
"Get ready!! Higashino!!" (riffing on the famous shouted catchphrase originally aimed at comedian Kotaro Higashino)
Wait, it's Tsutsumishita?
38Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 18:53:23.82ID:qDaoB6Yl0
Reminds me of how badly he used to bomb back in his Haneru no Tobira days.
39Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 18:53:33.98ID:9S11mKg70
Doing stuff like this is exactly why he never becomes truly hated.
Nishino's the one who's still got both feet planted firmly in the comedian world.
48Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 19:04:12.95ID:0X+rOrAb0
I already read it for you.
It's boring and way too long to be worth your time, so don't bother.
51Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 19:05:17.45ID:1UXoyiCK0
Too long.
He's supposed to be smart — summarize it in fewer words.

A watered-down Reiwa-era version of Dacho Club's "I'll sue you!" bit (a famous catchphrase from the comedy trio Dacho Club).
52Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 19:08:46.10ID:yLU48//O0
That "guy from in front of Nishi Elementary School's north gate" is hilarious as always.
54Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 19:09:32.98ID:gswQnh8i0
Comedians are all like this lately, lol
Stop using X to air your personal complaints and gripes, lol
Sort it out directly with the person involved.
59Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 19:14:17.21ID:Wlrl9oK70
I think he should just zip his lips.
61Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 19:15:27.98ID:+lJHsLAd0
For this kind of bit, nothing beats the classic "A letter from ○○'s mom's lawyer" format — nobody else comes close.
63Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 19:17:41.45ID:KcPwTuX20
I get it, this ends with Hitori Gekidan ripping Nishino's clothes to shreds and everything gets wrapped up nicely, right?
Fine, just go with that then — tear Nishino to pieces already.
76Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 19:29:54.24ID:qbHnoM9+0
Somebody should tell him this bombed.
He'll just assume it's haters talking, so ideally one of his own fans should break it to him quietly.
89Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 19:37:57.82ID:fIUrE/XP0

That fan would just get dogpiled and lynched by the rest of the fanbase.
Best policy: don't look, don't touch, don't bring it up.
