From Chiben Wakayama’s Championship to Mentaiko: A VIP Chat Thread That Rambled Wherever It Pleased

Written by

On 5channel’s Newsokuvip (VIP) board, a thread started with a report on Chiben Wakayama’s championship win and then wandered—through Demon Slayer, mentaiko (spicy cod roe), cat islands, and the weather—with one VIPPER tirelessly replying to every tangent. The topics never connect, but the sheer rhythm of the back-and-forth, running from morning to evening, is what makes it worth reading.

The official name is written 智辯和歌山 (with the old-style kanji for "ben") —
looks hardcore strong just from that

Looks like it could be a character straight out of Demon Slayer

Hi there (*^^*)
A bug flew in and I couldn't focus on the last batter (T^T)

Now that you mention it, there was a dead fly in my room out of nowhere… never even saw it flying around though…

Hi there, Tamako-chan
Guess the bug wanted to watch Koshien too lol (Koshien = the national high school baseball tournament)

You spoiled it for me, so now I'm gonna wreck you
48Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 12:37:56.921ID:ddWUqgnT0

Bon-chan reads a ton of manga too
51Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 12:40:51.161ID:ddWUqgnT0

I've only read Miiyama
52Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 12:47:19.137ID:ue1+/rSG0
Turned out it wasn't an important spoiler after all
Congrats, Chiben!

Congrats, Uyu

That story's kind of hopeless, isn't it…
55Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 12:50:45.298ID:ddWUqgnT0
>>53
Yeah, because the outcome gets revealed right at the start
58Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 12:53:10.466ID:ue1+/rSG0
Thanks
I'm not a fan of whipped cream, so I'll go with chocolate cake
61Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 12:59:01.799ID:ddWUqgnT0
>>58
Chocolate cake works too!
60Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 12:57:46.505ID:SiqL+xOs0

But I figured the boyfriend-type character was gonna get her, so I was surprised
63Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 12:59:55.617ID:ddWUqgnT0

Haven't gotten to that part yet
68Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 13:54:43.311ID:SiqL+xOs0
Mentaiko is so good… so good…
69Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 14:19:57.776ID:NC0F4Upn0

Perfect side dish for rice

Fish roe can raise your risk of gout, so you can't eat it all the time, but it's incredible once in a while
Just mentaiko, miso soup, and pickles, and somehow I'm completely satisfied
71Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 14:23:04.482ID:NC0F4Upn0

I had eggs sitting in my fridge too
72Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 14:25:50.513ID:ue1+/rSG0
These eggs are 3 days past the best-by date, but they're fine if I cook them through, right?
73Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 14:26:52.272ID:NC0F4Upn0
>>72
More than fine
76Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 14:32:02.236ID:SiqL+xOs0
>>75
I just finished eating and already want more—now I'm thinking of making mentaiko for dinner too…
80Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 14:44:11.717ID:NC0F4Upn0
>>76
The mentaiko boom has arrived
101Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 14:59:18.611ID:SiqL+xOs0
You suddenly said you're coming to my place tomorrow, so I ended up cleaning until this crazy hour—it was actually fun, thinking back on my walk home today
108Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 15:25:34.377ID:NC0F4Upn0
>>101
If it's a cute girl, sure

Kasa no Bon: "Bring it on! I'll be waiting with my fundoshi cinched tight!" (fundoshi = traditional loincloth, often worn for sumo)
110Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 15:25:54.878ID:NC0F4Upn0
>>103
Guess sumo's fine then
105Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 15:10:12.156ID:ue1+/rSG0
Boiled up some Koukun sausages and dumped a ton of ketchup and mustard on them (Koukun = a popular smoked sausage brand)

Straight to the coffin with that diet
114Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 15:27:58.242ID:ue1+/rSG0
I'll leave the coffin decorations to you
Make it cute, okay?
117Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 15:34:00.114ID:NC0F4Upn0
>>114
Got it, I'll put up some Chiikawa stuff
116Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 15:29:48.818ID:SnQfB6TB0
Get a photo of yourself doing a big cheerful "yay!" pose ready for your memorial photo
119Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 15:34:50.988ID:NC0F4Upn0
>>116
I'll get it ready

Apparently if you're coming from Aichi, Sakushima is the closest cat island
142Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 17:02:02.855ID:NC0F4Upn0
>>139
I actually went to the neighboring island recently

Somewhere in the Kinki region just got a normal 15 minutes of rain
147Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 17:46:39.467ID:NC0F4Upn0
>>146
15 minutes of getting soaked ("nureba" usually means a steamy scene, so this is a cheeky double meaning)
