    Loved it! I like how the date and time turned to 4 as that’s unlucky and sounds like the word for death in Japanese.
    Remember when Logan Paul went and completely disrespected the country and got banned?
    This should’ve happened to him.

    I think this was the best of the bunch, and it honestly should have won.
