The story
Hezuma Ryu posted on his own X account, “It’s my own fault, but it still stings. I’ve been banned again.”
On 5ch, reaction was split: many pointed to his arrest record with comments like “Arrested six times and he calls it ‘once’?”, while others came to his defense.

What people said
Well, even if it's fake charity, doing something beats doing nothing, right?
Some party member out there was apparently way worse.
That's just a drop in the bucket, and nuisance-streamer fanboys always trot out that same brain-dead defense.
No wonder they keep falling for it and tuning into his streams.
Maybe that's because your whole lives have been spent desperately trying never to mess up.
A "mistake" implies negligence.
What this guy does is intentional, so it's not the same thing.
It's not a mistake, it's deliberate harassment.
He even calls himself a "nuisance streamer" himself, so he's clearly aware of it.
Can you really not tell the difference?
Don't lump a criminal with no financial or family hardship in with someone who just made a "mistake."
Can't be helped.
He should just go wherever will still have him.
Getting banned every few months is honestly impressive — that's how hated he is by society.
Lol, dodging the question.
That's what happens when you wave around a completely off-base argument.
Has everyone just gotten sick of him?
Right back at you.
Motive isn't the whole story, though.
Not if he's genuinely out there doing volunteer work and the like.
Wouldn't happen overseas.
It's not a single mistake in this guy's case.
He caused trouble over and over — to the point where the police couldn't just look the other way anymore.
Arrested six times and he calls it "once"?
Background and Key Points
Store manager: “You’re Hezuma Ryu, aren’t you? Please refrain from using this store.” Hezuma: “It stings. But I won’t lose.”
Hezuma Ryu (real name Ryusei Kondo) is a Japanese “nuisance streamer” (迷惑系ユーチューバー/迷惑系配信者) — a genre of creator who films confrontational stunts, unauthorized store visits, and disruptions purely to generate viral clips and ad revenue. He has been arrested multiple times over the past several years, including for offenses like trespassing, obstruction of business, and theft-adjacent stunts, and has become a recurring tabloid fixture as a symbol of the genre. Being informally “banned” from a specific store or chain (店舗出禁) is a common Japanese business response to repeat troublemakers — it’s not a legal penalty but a private refusal-of-service notice, often the only practical tool a shop has short of police involvement, since Japanese retailers are generally reluctant to escalate confrontations publicly.
The thread doesn’t split over whether he did something wrong — almost no one defends the underlying conduct. It splits over how to read his tweet itself: is “it’s my own fault, but it still stings” a rare flash of genuine self-awareness, or just more of the same persona, an attempt to reframe punishment as a poignant personal moment for content? Posters citing his arrest count (commenters land on six, not the “once” his phrasing implies) are pushing back specifically against the tweet’s framing, not debating the facts of the ban.
What outside readers may miss: this isn’t a formal legal ban (出入り禁止 in the criminal sense) but an individual store’s discretionary refusal, and “nuisance streamer” is a semi-official, media-recognized category in Japan with its own enforcement debates — it’s not slang for an ordinary troll.
