The story
The Monster Hunter series has a long history of picking up insulting nicknames on 5ch’s gaming board for its various ports and spin-offs — “Busuzawa” (a jab at a past Vita port), “Buhicchi” (mocking the Switch port), and “Half-Rise” (implying Rise is a stripped-down cash-grab). This thread set out to debate whether anything could ever top those, but partway through someone brought up the new game’s actual, official product name: “Monster Hunter Wilds Premium Deluxe Edition.” Despite not being a made-up insult at all, its sheer length and pomposity had everyone laughing that it beat every nickname fans had ever invented. The thread also veered into predictions for Switch 2 sales and how Rise’s popularity stacks up against Wilds’.
What people said
Lmao it's not even a made-up insult, it's an actual official product
Nothing's ever topping this
"Half-Rise" looks like child's play next to it
Lol
A rare case where the official name itself deals damage to the fanboys ("障" is forum slang mocking rabid fans as basically disabled)
Did you install the DLC? Did you install the DLC? Did you install the DLC?
Did you install the DLC? Did you install the DLC? Did you install the DLC?

Such a shame it shut down for some reason…🤔
As long as it gives them a quick dopamine hit, that's all that matters
A game that changed the meaning of its own name
That's not even in the same league as a mere insult
It's less an insult and more just a brutally strong negative word at this point
Honestly people don't even recognize the name — whether something like a G-Rank version even sells is doubtful to begin with
Capcom's counting on the Switch 2 version selling, how could you say that😠
Can't help it, Capcom brought this on themselves
Yep, heads up ("ヒボチュー" — obscure forum slang, meaning unclear)
Brace yourselves
That's just a Nintendo hater — they only want to bash Nintendo, they don't even like other platforms
Premium Deluxe Edition
I was about to type this as a joke and then realized it already exists, lol
The Switch 2 version of Wilds is just downgraded leftovers.
Yeah, and even the non-downgraded original version vanished from the conversation in no time lol
There's stuff you just shouldn't say
Calling Wilds "leftovers" is an insult to leftovers
If it sold like crazy at launch, that just means there are that many more victims, so I'm predicting the Ascendance expansion numbers are going to be pretty rough
A dirty rag stings more when it's put on display than when it's stomped on and scorned, huh
Including Buhicchi, I wonder why nicknames that tack on "障" never really catch on — maybe it's because the naming sense is so Showa-era (old-fashioned) that hardly anyone can get on board with it
They try so hard to be clever that it just turns into a mess and doesn't land
They should take a lesson from how "障壁" does it in just two characters
It IS Showa-era sensibility, but the problem is it's got even worse taste than an actual Showa-era old man
Nobody could've predicted they'd ship it without even a Gathering Hall (the series' classic multiplayer hub)
Background and Key Points of This Topic
The Monster Hunter series has been ported and re-released across handheld and home consoles many times over, and each time 5ch’s gaming board has coined a new insulting nickname — “Busuzawa” (the Vita port), “Buhicchi” (the Switch port), “Half-Rise” (a dismissive term treating Rise as a stripped-down version). The focus of this thread isn’t really those organically-coined insults, though — it’s the ironic twist that the manufacturer’s own official product name turns out to be funnier than any of them, which is exactly the kind of in-joke this “hardware/industry” (geha) board thrives on. That said, claims about which sells better, Rise or Wilds, or whether the Switch 2 version will take off, aren’t established facts — they’re just speculation and impressions from an anonymous message board, so take them with a grain of salt. Some posts in the original thread also contained remarks disparaging specific nationalities or individuals; those have been excluded from this article.
