I haven't seen the clip, but how do they know they specifically targeted otaku for this stunt? Did they only do it around guys who had bags from anime stores or stuff? And how did they stop other heroes from coming to the Damsel in Distress's rescue?

Either way, the results would have been more relevant before all this became a TV show, movie, half a dozen comics, an internet phenomenon, and so on. As >>76 double-posts, we don't know how many otaku have been shucked into thinking this could actually happen to them by it all.
