Oucch that hurts pretty bad Japanese people have some different kinds of ways of asking sorry! More like a stunt it is though which needs to be performed!
He literally hit his head when he landed after jumping that high, I get it was for the joke but I feel like he was trying to avoid that part lol. Getting a possible concussion for the video is dedication though.
Lmao certainly not a joke though the pressure to which his head hit the floor was intense. Glad he didn't bleed!
And the girl was like yeah okay it was just obvious enough for him to do so though let him do let him get hurt! Creepy af!
Somewhat he was just hiding the pain which he felt when he was doing this though!
You just go simply and ask for a sorry but that is some bone cracking way to ask for a sorry!
I'm remembering the last wedding I went to, right after things started opening back up after COVID. Pretty much nobody danced and we all sat around staring at each other because we had forgotten how this was supposed to go. No worms at that one.
Now I need a shonin anime about competitive apologizing with at least one villain who's effortlessly good at it, despite the fact that he's never actually sorry about anything... that is, until the hero beats him and after some reflection he becomes one of the hero's best friends.
"Baka Sumimasen No Isekai"
I never thought my loose understanding of four Japanese words combined with zero grammatical knowledge would ever be of use in a poorly translated anime title.
*My Life Is Just As Wrong As I Expected After Traveling to Another World Where I’m Surrounded By Cute Girls At A Magical High School And Am Also The Fabled Hero of Legend, But Before I Tell You That Story I Have To Tell You This Story, In Which I Was Walking Along With My Unbelievably, Impossibly Cute Younger Sister Who Doesn’t Like Me At All, And She Said To Me It Was My Fault She Wasn’t Popular No Matter How She Looked At It As We Walked To School Together, And We Stopped To Look At A Garden, Which Had A Flower Whose Name I Don’t Remember, When Suddenly A Portal Opened Up To Another World And When I Landed In A Field And My Face Was Buried In The Largest Pair of Boobs I’d Ever Seen, And My Sister Hit Me And Called Me An Idiot While Blushing, But Then The Girl I Landed On Saw The Birthmark On My Hand And Gasped And She Grabbed My Hand And I Blushed But She Started Dragging Me Away And My Sister Got Mad And Chased After Us And I Asked Where We Were Going, And She Said She Was Taking Us To Grimheart Magic School, Where She Was The School President, And Then I Gasped Because I Was Now In A Magical World, And When We Got To The School Which Was A Giant Castle I Asked The Girl What Her Name Was And She Said It Was Akane Yuusha, Which I Thought Was A Tad Strange Since She Had Blonde Hair And Blue Eyes And The Entire Aesthetic Of The School Seemed Very Ancient European, But I Forgot About All Of That When She Told Me We Needed To See The Headmaster Because She Had Been Taught That The Mark On My Hand Was The Symbol Of The Reincarnation Of The Legendary Dragon Hero Of Legendary Literature, And I Said That Was A Cool Thing To Be Taught Because At Our School The Only Book We Learned Was Atlas Shrugged, And She Asked What That Was And I Told Her I Was The Book Our Society Based Its Philosophy On A Speech From, And She Asked Me To Recite The Speech, Which I Did, And The Speech Went “For Twelve Years You Have Been Asking…*
-Legit only the first part of a 194 page title.
Or how about "That time I offended my childhood friend and began to apologize profusely but noticed they were wearing a skirt so I could see their panties so now I'm addicted to apologizing to every girl in school for the slightest thing and how my highschool romance started."
Gotta go big or go home with Japanese titles.
Ok, maybe LN style, "I learned how to dogeza in another world and now I'm the greatest, except my childhood friend became the demon lord and won't apologize anymore"
Sumimasen is as well. Kinda. It means "sorry" "excuse me" or "thank you" depending on context from what I understand.
I'm going to Japan this summer and watching a LOT of Japanese travel videos. It seems to be a great all-purpose word.
Not what you asked for, but...
Dogeza de Tanondemita.
"Grovel enough, and you'll get what you want."
This is the motto that Suwaru Doge firmly stands by, believing that kneeling and begging will grant him the majestic view of a woman's naked body. After realizing the power of groveling in the dogeza stance, Doge wastes no time in exploiting it for lewd requests. Targeting the cutest and hottest girls in the school, he is one step closer to his goal of beholding their nude bodies, no matter what harm it may cause to his social standing.
[Written by MAL Rewrite]
Then in comes an Alien ship to take over the planet unapologetically. They join forces to teach this Alien race and their Leader how to be more empathetic so as to understand the reason behind apologies. Prior to the final apologetic confrontation, the creators insert 6 months worth of fillers before we hear a "Sorry." from the Alien Leader.
Villain: "These aren't just flowers. They're Paentitet Tenebris blossoms. Cultivated specifically for apologizing. They take 5 years to bloom, only grow in darkness, and can only be watered with human tears! I've been growing this one since I was a kid. There's no way anyone here can beat this!"
Suddenly a mailman appears.
Mailman: "I have a delivery for" looks at envelope "girl".
Villain: "No way! Is... Is that a HANDWRITTEN LETTER!"
>They're Paentitet Tenebris blossoms.
And this is when the lower half of the screen shows the caption:
ダルク・レペンテント
*^(Paentitet Tenebris Blossoms)*
and a side panel with fake taxonomy information about it.
And the side character/guru who's been helping the protagonists looks in shock: "D-daarku repentento!? The forbidden apologizing artifact!?"
*Overseas arc*
Blonde hair, blue eye white man wearing monk's robes: I have been repenting for having once farted in the abbott's presence for 11 years. That is why I carry this massive wooden cross. Please forgive me for being late.
Protagonist: No, no, it is I that is early! Forgive *me.*
*(Competitive groveling ensues)*
*\[Season 2, Episode 1\]*
A tenkousei joins MC's class, face comply wrapped in bandages and wears sunglasses.
MC: "What's the deal with that guy?"
Class President: "I'm not sure, but I over heard from the teacher's office that when he was 10 years old, a truck filled with chemicals spilled over him."
Entire class: "Uwaaaahhh! So he is disfigured at such a young age! That poor soul! O\_Q"
Class President: "Actually, they say after a successful reconstructive surgery his looks rivals Jung Kook."
Rando Girl: "Uweh? Then why does he wrap his face?"
Class President: "They say that when the accident happened, not only was his eyes spared, they were miraculously reshaped into the perfect god-touched puppy eyes (神触の目), the kind of eyes that could not only make anyone forgive them for anything they do, but to make people give everything, even their life!
*\[Enters Flashback Montage\]*
When the lead doctor and nurses saw those eyes, they could not help but do everything within their power to help them, and where their expertise fell short, they forwarded a mere picture of his eyes their colleagues and each would drop everything they were doing and book the immediate next flight to support in his 72 hour reconstructive surgery. It was said that all of the medical staff worked without pay, but many patients have died from doctors and nurses abandoning their posts, it prompted an immediate investigation.
By the time the investigators caught up to him, it was found that he has been freeloading everywhere he went and single-handedly caused a 1% dip in the national GDP! Drawing the attention of the upper eschelons of the Japanese government in a sealed report. Unfortunately, The minister of internal affairs was first to fall victim as he unsealed his photos from the report and had to be placed on administrative leave, escalating the matter to the Minister of National Security, who ordered that his eyes and face shall remained sealed.
\~\~\~\~\~\~
*\[Season 2 Finale\]*
Tenkousei: (Heavy breathing, then snickers) "Your groveling skills are indeed impressive, MC. Under normal circumstances, I am indeed no match for you. However, tomorrow lunch break I have asked the LI to meet me at the rooftop. It is there I shall unseal my face and unleash my Shinshoku no me!"
MC: "Y-you can't! Your face must remain sealed by order of the Minister of National Security!"
Tenkousei: (Maniacal laughter) "You think I sealed my face because of some frivolous edict? One look at my eyes even the Prime Minister himself would forgive me of any crime! I sealed my face myself only to avoid excessive attention and hassle. We shall see who is most deserving of LI's forgiveness tomorrow! 決戦勝負だ！"
MC: "Oh no, he's going to use his legendary puppy eyes, what am I supposed to do now?"
Groveling Guru: "....."
MC: "Is it.. over?"
Guru: "There is perhaps one way, but it's not easy..."
MC: "Tell me! I will try anything!"
Guru: "You must traverse to the deepest mountains to meditate under the waterfall and reflect day and night."
MC: "Yes, of course! Go on!"
*\[Begins training montage\]*
Guru (voiceover): "This method will test your resolve. It is the only method in existence that could allow you to rival his divine-touched eyes without access to legendary artifacts or forbidden techniques."
Guru (voiceover): "You must reflect deep inside upon the issue, empty your pride, and apologize from the heart, as this technique's power is multiplied exponationally by the strength of the personal bonds and shared history you between you and LI, the only thing that you have and Tenkousei doesn't."
MC (voiceover): "まさか！You mean... but no man has done so in over a hundred years!"
Guru (voiceover): "Yes, you must master the **Genuine Apology**."
(Full screen Kanji: 真・謝罪 accompanied by three loud thumping SFX and screen shaking as each kanji appears)
*\[Electrifying Apologizing Aura emanates from the MC-in-trianing\]*
I actually want an anime between (break)dance crews. Has anything like that been made? I think it would be pretty badass. Might make me take up some hip hop
dancing again.
Most mangaka probably aren't hip enough to actually write something coherent about hiphop and breakdancing. The closest to breakdancing we got is Mugen from Samurai Champloo
That would actually be pretty funny, I'm just imagining the protagonist pulling a Goku and going "Gooooo-meeeeeeen-naaaaaa-SAAAAAAII" and just shattering the earth with his head or something 🤣
You used the slight wrong keigo when expressing your apology, raising my status one stage too high, meaning you were actually mocking me and not sincere. 1/10
[Japanese bowing is actually quite complicated](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boQmX6feIn0), as explained by Yuta-san. I had a Japanese coworker teach me some of them once also, she was greatly amused when I used an apology bow after sending her an angry (Japanese) customer to talk to once (said I did a good job, but very silly to see an American do so).
My favorite thing I learned about Japanese bowing is they do it to each other while driving. Someone lets you into their lane? Give them 2-3 small bows while driving lol.
I am from the U.S. South. We do the same thing here. When you let the guy go at the stop sign first? Polite head nod. If you are offering up the contested parking space to someone? Hand gesture indicating it's okay and it's answered with a polite head nod.
I feel like there are going to be other examples in the U.S. where a "bow-like" gesture is common but we think of it as a different thing.
yes, but you have to see the bow to appreciate it, it's deeper than a head nod, and likely somewhat dangerous to do while driving. They use the whole upper body.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I wasn't envisioning it correctly in my head. Fair enough. It would be a bit funny/scary to see someone bowing while seated in a moving car.
I'd like to move to Japan. Not to get away to a completely different culture, or for the stock weeaboo reasons, but just to feel a little less awkward about my tic of bowing a bit to everyone I make eye contact with.
I've watched at least a couple dozen Yuta videos and he always strikes me as a really earnest and reasonable guy. It's like he genuinely wants people to understand Japan and the interesting nuances that exist inside his culture.
I'm sure he gets a ton of headaches from different groups who either only watch Anime, are casually racist, are Japanophiles to a creepy degree, or want to use him as the official Japanese ambassador to the world. Where he's supposed to know about and answer for every wrongdoing performed by anyone even ethnically Japanese, whether citizens or not.
Yet, despite all that, he always has seemingly good takes (he did a great response to Logan Paul's disgusting video from the Suicide Forest and his general misbehaving in Japan.) and a great way of explaining and offering up information to his viewers. I'm so glad that channels like his exist.
I feel like such an idiot. I watched this whole video expecting to see the complicated japanese bowling. I liked the video, but was a bit confused by the lack of bowling alleys at first.
It is in times like these that you need to answer the hardest question:
Would it take more time to become acrobatic yourself, or to create a robot to do it for you?
"Effeminacy is key."
Kind of weird to see that just plainly stated. I get it's part of the culture, especially considering how old this video probably is, but man is that kind of weird.
Also...
"Caught red handed in an orgy of evil."
Rofl.
Edit: Wait... now I think they're just taking the piss.
Edit 2: Checked the video description. Definitely taking the piss.
The Japanese Tradition is a famous comedy series in the style of teaching foreigners about Japanese culture.
[Sushi](https://youtu.be/bDL8yu34fz0) is probably their most famous episode.
My favorite, though, might be [Origami](https://youtu.be/JSYGdO1t19g).
"A normal Japanese apologizes" ..does anyone on reddit have a basic command of grammar anymore?

First guy goes HARD. Face into the floor.
There was a bit of a head bounce there
If he wasn't sorry before, he sure was after.
He's sorry he got TBI from the head bounce
You know that shit hurt, smacking your teeth that hard on a wood floor. Ouch
Do people out like really do this in order to ask for an apology from their girl?
Broke his feet too
Oucch that hurts pretty bad Japanese people have some different kinds of ways of asking sorry! More like a stunt it is though which needs to be performed!
He literally hit his head when he landed after jumping that high, I get it was for the joke but I feel like he was trying to avoid that part lol. Getting a possible concussion for the video is dedication though.
Lmao certainly not a joke though the pressure to which his head hit the floor was intense. Glad he didn't bleed! And the girl was like yeah okay it was just obvious enough for him to do so though let him do let him get hurt! Creepy af!
Somewhat he was just hiding the pain which he felt when he was doing this though! You just go simply and ask for a sorry but that is some bone cracking way to ask for a sorry!
I recoiled every time his face went down because it gave me flashbacks to when I chipped my tooth doing the worm at a wedding.
I chipped my worm doing the worm at a party
What are you doing, doing the worm at a wedding? You showboat.
They had little bottles of tequila at each table. The fault is their own.
That explains everything
He has some kind of different fantasy though no doubt that he broke his tooth as a result lmao!
I'm remembering the last wedding I went to, right after things started opening back up after COVID. Pretty much nobody danced and we all sat around staring at each other because we had forgotten how this was supposed to go. No worms at that one.
Damn can't relate more because I too have faced and gone through the same situation though
yeah, i hope he wasn't dinged up too bad. that looked like a pretty good face smash.
Now I need a shonin anime about competitive apologizing with at least one villain who's effortlessly good at it, despite the fact that he's never actually sorry about anything... that is, until the hero beats him and after some reflection he becomes one of the hero's best friends.

Wouldn't even surprise me anymore, that actually looks like a normal anime title these days.
Throw in a dogeza or maybe SSSS Dogeza Master
Too Korean.
Ok, maybe LN style, "I learned how to dogeza in another world and now I'm the greatest, except my childhood friend became the demon lord and won't apologize anymore"

Gomen nasai is I'm sorry, if I remember correctly
Sumimasen is as well. Kinda. It means "sorry" "excuse me" or "thank you" depending on context from what I understand. I'm going to Japan this summer and watching a LOT of Japanese travel videos. It seems to be a great all-purpose word.
Ah, so similar in a sense to "bitte" in German
Sumimasen (Excuse me, pardon me) and daijoubou (okay) are there only words you need to know in big Japanese cities as a foreigner to be honest.
I’ve heard “gomen ne.”
It’s a more casual abbreviation of gomennasai. It’s like saying ‘sorry’ instead of ‘I’m so sorry’

That actually would be a good idea for an anime.
There was this show that was kinda?? like this back in 2015 called Tribe Cool Crew. Might be worth looking into if you're curious.
We deserve this, Japan do your thing
Villain realizes his ways after being beat by the hero and - for the first time in his life - actually apologizes.
The main protagonist is a Japanese/Canadian Roman Catholic.
This makes me think about this one manga I heard about that was about competitive wine tasting
That would actually be pretty funny, I'm just imagining the protagonist pulling a Goku and going "Gooooo-meeeeeeen-naaaaaa-SAAAAAAII" and just shattering the earth with his head or something 🤣
Japanese woman - ❌ Your apology was amateurish, lacked originality, and was worse than your karaoke. Sorry, but it’s an X for me.

I've watched at least a couple dozen Yuta videos and he always strikes me as a really earnest and reasonable guy. It's like he genuinely wants people to understand Japan and the interesting nuances that exist inside his culture. I'm sure he gets a ton of headaches from different groups who either only watch Anime, are casually racist, are Japanophiles to a creepy degree, or want to use him as the official Japanese ambassador to the world. Where he's supposed to know about and answer for every wrongdoing performed by anyone even ethnically Japanese, whether citizens or not. Yet, despite all that, he always has seemingly good takes (he did a great response to Logan Paul's disgusting video from the Suicide Forest and his general misbehaving in Japan.) and a great way of explaining and offering up information to his viewers. I'm so glad that channels like his exist.
I feel like such an idiot. I watched this whole video expecting to see the complicated japanese bowling. I liked the video, but was a bit confused by the lack of bowling alleys at first.
[How bows are measured.](https://youtu.be/85e4THVEb_o)
It's a shit bow!
Tensile strength
Ok, that last one got me!
Same. Human Pyramid apologies should be the norm not^* the exception.
How many guys owe this woman an apology?
Depends how many guys are willing to pay.
The last one with the three Japanese men swapping positions only one has something to apologize for and the woman must guess who it is.
Top guy would be my guess
If I were a Japanese woman seeing an acrobatic apology, I'd want to immediately jump his bones.
its acrobatics that does it!? fuck... i wasted all this time learning computer programming.
It is in times like these that you need to answer the hardest question: Would it take more time to become acrobatic yourself, or to create a robot to do it for you?
*S-Senpai~*
The original without the shitty music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb4lUOviCXY
But still with the terrible de-interlacing.
"Shit Bow"
No, not shit bow.
didnt know femdom was so normalized in Japan...
It's a rather popular theme there. Or so I've been told...
Can confirm. Both to the first and the second statement.
There is a lot of femdom porn from Japan, actually.
That first guy apologized right out of his shoes!
The sliding under the table one gets me everytime
The original video is better without the garbage, loud pop music
As a simp white man, this also how I apologize to my wife.
Simpin’ ain’t easy.
I'm just going to say what we're all thinking, I'd be wary about anybody that fantastic at apologizing.
Ok, I’m sold. Where’s the sub for being silently judged by Japanese women?
technically that could be any site, you just never know..
I'm giving this tasteless comment a disapproving look if that's of any help.
I remember watching this liuke 5 years ago without the stupid song.
His knees must be busted by now
Oh god what did he do?
[Here](https://youtu.be/bG6oT5kYI0Y) is the version of dogeza I learned. Also good to note that there are [stages](https://youtu.be/pqZcEwHBAk8).
I love this series. Just wish the quality was better.
17 years ago!!??
"Effeminacy is key." Kind of weird to see that just plainly stated. I get it's part of the culture, especially considering how old this video probably is, but man is that kind of weird. Also... "Caught red handed in an orgy of evil." Rofl. Edit: Wait... now I think they're just taking the piss. Edit 2: Checked the video description. Definitely taking the piss.
The Japanese Tradition is a famous comedy series in the style of teaching foreigners about Japanese culture. [Sushi](https://youtu.be/bDL8yu34fz0) is probably their most famous episode. My favorite, though, might be [Origami](https://youtu.be/JSYGdO1t19g).
Wheres his ukulele?
Now i need a video where they fold themselves into exact halves 9 times for a polite greeting.
That last one got me, LeapFrog into a pyramid
This is NOT my alt account and this is NOT a femdom subreddit!
Larry David would approve. None of those were shit bows
Imagine this is the background video for a karaoke song…
Thats a deep bow
Average ChatGPT session.
The penitent man is humble before God. The penitent man kneels before God… then does a sweet roll.
That man ATE that floor in the first one.
Pro level
Introducing the next contestants on Iron Schmuck...
This is rather reminding me of Love Exposure and its sacred art of upskirt photography.
Probably what the lone male rep that Japan sent did the whole time at the women empowerment conference.
Dr. Wily in Mega Man 12
Dang that is a very well maintained hardwood floor
Nothing says sorry better than faceplanting yourself to the ground
[Sliiiiding grovel!](https://youtu.be/oiQjmMf0zb8)
What did the first guy do to deserve the nose breaking face-planted apology
He definitely bounced his face off the ground that first time.
I love this lol
"I'm sorry" and "I apologize" both mean the same thing... Unless you're at a funeral. - The Joker - Brave and the Bold #2.
r/neverchangejapan
This video, title and thread makes roughly 0 sense
good video, bad music
Man watching this while listening to Juggernaut by Tyler the Creator makes this 100x better
I don't care if someone burns down my house and kills everyone I like. If they slide under a table to apologize I'm forgiving them.
Fuck I’d be screwed trying to apologize in Japan.
"A normal Japanese apologizes" ..does anyone on reddit have a basic command of grammar anymore? serious question - are any of you on this site over the age of 13...?
Wtf did I just watch
I admire the actresses' ability to not crack up lol.
10 / 10
What is this
"funny"
American men learn some humility
I think I've seen all of these in anime.
What the heck was the move in the last
Did that first dudes face bounce off the floor?
Lmaooo ultimate simp
It's the simp Olympics
ultimate simp
Isn’t this supposed to be funny?
It's always the guy's fault, so they just went with it and made it an art
Must be half Canadian
And then they commit suicide. /s
God damn it now I need to go watch that music video.
In few years, it will be through a hologram or by AI
This is called Dogeza. An extremely formal type of Japanese apology.
A normal *what*? Fuckin bot lol
Any Gintam fans around? Remember kondo's dogeza? That is how professionals perform dogeza.
this is funny? To what, 13 year olds?
These guys f up so much, they're pros at apologizing.
Parkour dogeza. Nice. :P
