Sho Hasumi Responds to Hikaru Ijuin’s Brutal Crayon Shin-chan Review: “I Should’ve Just Mooned Them”

The story

Sho Hasumi of the comedy trio Dau 90000 wrote a script for the anime Crayon Shin-chan that radio host Hikaru Ijuin blasted as “boring enough to make your legs give out.” Hasumi responded on another show with a self-deprecating “I should’ve just mooned them” — a line originally coined by Nobuyuki Hanawa of the comedy duo Knights, which Hasumi was merely echoing. On 5ch, though, that nuance got lost, and some took it as plain defiance rather than self-deprecating humor, splitting opinion. Plenty of posters who actually watched the episode on TVer agreed with Ijuin that “it really wasn’t funny,” and the thread argued over whether to blame the script itself or the way Ijuin delivered his takedown.

Sep. 24 (Thu), 3:20 PM

Sho Hasumi (29) of Dau 90000 appeared as a guest on Nippon Broadcasting’s “Knights the Radio Show” (weekdays 1 PM) on the 24th. He responded to comments from Hikaru Ijuin (58), who had called the Crayon Shin-chan script Hasumi wrote “boring enough to make your legs give out.”

During the late-night broadcast on the 21st of TBS Radio’s “Monday JUNK: Hikaru Ijuin’s Late-Night Baka Chikara,” Ijuin had ripped into the Crayon Shin-chan script Hasumi wrote, calling it “boring enough to make your legs give out.”

He just wanted to look like he had good taste, right?
4AnonymousSep 24, 2026 15:42
They offered the gig to Hasumi, so it's fine if he does it his way and it flops. It's the same as when Egashira got asked to "do it seriously" and just went wild, saying "but I'm the one they offered it to."

Re: #4
Agreed. He did something very "Hasumi," so this is fine.
7AnonymousSep 24, 2026 15:44
Who even is Hasumi? Some YouTuber?

Re: #7
He leads a group of guys doing comedy-as-a-hobby with a college-kid vibe.
9AnonymousSep 24, 2026 15:45
It's a jab at guys like Ijuin — like saying "flash your butt and they'll laugh, won't they?"
10AnonymousSep 24, 2026 15:46
Koki Mitani got chewed out for writing a script where Tara-chan turned into a muscle-bound hulk, so does Hasumi only have yes-men around him?
11AnonymousSep 24, 2026 15:46
He's no peak-era Hitoshi Matsumoto — it shouldn't take courage to criticize the guy.
14AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:03
Re: #11
If he didn't say it that way, it'd just come off as harassment. It's the classic boss-scared-of-the-new-generation setup.

Same old vibe as "it's uncool to call out Fuwa-chan, you should just accept her style of comedy."
13AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:02
Ugh, that was a total throw-in-the-towel comment. He dragged down both Crayon Shin-chan and Ijuin with it.
18AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:07
Re: #13
Hanawa said "should've mooned them" and Hasumi just parroted it back — that's not really a desperate comment.
16AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:05
Well, I had expectations and it really was boring — makes you appreciate how good the usual scriptwriters are.
20AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:09
Nice bit of pro-wrestling-style theater. Though Ijuin picking on someone weaker is pretty lame too.
23AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:10
The original creator's dead, so he can do whatever he wants with it.
25AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:11
The fact that that script got greenlit clearly shows nobody can say no to Hasumi.
26AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:11
Ijuin's excuses drag on forever and aren't even funny — then at the end he tells some lame, crude story and goes "let's just call it all a joke, okay?" to milk some sycophantic laughs from the staff.
27AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:11
Haven't seen it, but I bet it really was boring.
28AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:12
These days you get dragged just for saying something negative.
29AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:12
Figured he was exaggerating, so I watched it on TVer — it really was shockingly not funny.
32AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:12
Looking at this, it seems like Hasumi's the only one who thinks it's funny lol. He genuinely doesn't seem to think about who's actually watching.
33AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:12
Re: #1
Hasumi's comeback wasn't even funny. Also, does he even watch recent Crayon Shin-chan?
34AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:13
Crayon Shin-chan just isn't made to be funny to a 58-year-old guy.
40AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:15
Re: #15
Sure, go ahead and slap the "comedy world has-been" label on him — but the guy doing the labeling isn't funny at all, so the label has zero credibility. It's just an off-target dig.
43AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:18
Re: #40
Nah, nobody's actually labeling him lol. Like he said himself, it's pure delusion — nobody was even talking about Ijuin. He's convinced himself he's being called a has-been and is taking it out on Hasumi, and now he's pulling exactly that kind of has-been move lol.
52AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:21
The kindness of comedians never firing back at Hasumi's go-to bit "nobody cares about comedy anyway" with "nobody cares about theater either unless it's a major company." Outside Yoshimoto, Shochiku, Takarazuka Revue, and Shiki, pretty much the only one with a loyal fanbase is "Shinkansen" (likely a pun on the indie theater troupe Gekidan☆Shinkansen, whose name sounds like "bullet train").
66AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:36
Re: #52
"Theater's even less popular than that" is also one of Hasumi's go-to bits anyway.
68AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:38
If it's really that boring, now I kind of want to see it.
75AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:42
Re: #68
You can watch it on TVer.
70AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:38
But it's rare these days to see this big a gap between how the industry rates a guy and how we do. His predecessor Fuwa-chan ended up the way she did, so this guy will probably vanish just as fast the moment something goes wrong.
94AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:56
Re: #70
"Predecessor Fuwa-chan" lol lol. Bro, you've got a way with words lol lol.
71AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:38
If this were Ota instead, he probably would've steered it somewhere funnier, but Ijuin got way too worked up over it.
74AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:41
Re: #71
Ota, for his part, tries too hard not to get hated by his juniors, I think (though I like the guy).
88AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:51
It's probably the same kind of sketch comedy as Zero-San — the type that gets praised by people going "heh, I get it, I'm in on the joke." They should have Hasumi write a script for Yoshimoto instead — curious how he'd handle that old-school, no-frills style of comedy.
90AnonymousSep 24, 2026 16:54
Re: #88
Shinkigeki performers read the room and improvise on the fly with stock lines like "whatcha gonna do" — that might be tough for him to write for.

Background and Key Points of This Discussion

The episode Hasumi wrote fell into a slot with more creative latitude than usual, partly because original creator Yoshito Usui has passed away. The “I should’ve just mooned them” line that came up on air was, as commenter #18 points out, simply Hasumi echoing back a remark first made by Knights’ Hanawa — not something Hasumi came up with himself. Miss that detail, and the impression of “a defiant Hasumi” takes on a life of its own. The thread split over whether to read Ijuin’s harsh review as “picking on someone weaker” or as “an honest opinion,” with several posters who actually watched it on TVer siding with Ijuin. Some also pointed to a gap between how Hasumi is viewed within the comedy industry versus by general viewers, a point several tied back to how his predecessor, Fuwa-chan, was eventually dropped.
