[Restoration in Progress] The True Identity of “Happy Execution Show”
It’s me. Employee A.
In Europe between the 15th and 17th centuries, many people were executed as examples to others after unjust trials known as “witch trials.”
During the French Revolution, public executions were carried out using the guillotine.
In Rome’s Colosseum, people were made to fight to the death.
There were times overseas when death was presented in various ways—as entertainment or as a spectacle.
It’s not that Japan had no such history, but perhaps the view of life and death here was different from the examples above.
Even in works of entertainment today, such themes exist, and yet shocking footage can spread in an instant.
I can only hope that no one casually posts “images that seem to capture someone’s death.”
There is a reason I began with this preface.
Within this game’s data, there is a straightforward entry titled “Happy Execution Show.”
The accompanying comments are oddly entertainment-like, making it difficult to tell whether this reflects the creator’s view of life and death or simply a form of presentation.
And then there’s the slang phrase, “Tahinasete ageyou.”
I recall it beginning to appear on anonymous message boards in the late 2000s.
What also concerns me is the crocodile-like icon.
I had assumed it depicted the execution of a person, but I will look into what it actually represents.
I will report back once restoration progresses further.
