After discovering that his Nezuko waifu was disposed of by a waste management company, the young man decides to end his relationship, accompanied by a legal letter seeking reimbursement.
For hardcore anime manga enthusiasts, memorabilia or figurines of their favorite characters hold immense value. However, not everyone comprehends the current and spiritual significance of these items for individuals like the young man in the following case.
Nezuko Kamado is the leading female character in the globally sensational manga and anime Kimetsu no Yaiba - Demon Slayer. Simultaneously, she is the national waifu for KnY fans. Being consistently among the most adored characters in the manga and anime, numerous Nezuko figure models flood the market, serving as coveted collectibles for many enthusiasts. Authentic figure prices typically range from a few hundred thousand to VIP Pro models priced in the tens of millions.
A die-hard Nezuko fanboy since 2020 spared no expense, acquiring a series of authentic figures to support his favorite anime and waifu, amassing a collection valued at around 75 million VND. Similar to other manga and anime fans, he is extremely devoted, cherishing his million-dollar collection.
During a visit to his hometown, the girlfriend stays behind to look after the apartment. While tidying up, she mistakenly places the entire Nezuko figure collection of her boyfriend into the trash. Upon his return, the young man is shocked not to find any trace of his beloved waifu. Panicking, he questions his girlfriend about the whereabouts of the Nezuko figure collection, only to receive the devastating answer that his entire waifu has become 'trash.' With no time to spare, he attempts to rescue his waifu by calling the waste disposal facility, but only gets the response that the trash has already been processed.
After the incident, the young man promptly decides to break up with his girlfriend, not forgetting to threaten legal action to seek compensation. He shares the vehement reaction not only because of the loss of Nezuko figures but also due to profound disappointment, feeling his girlfriend lacked respect for him.
“I don't care about her watching Korean dramas and obsessing over oppa. So why can't she respect my personal interests? I thought if I didn't bring up my hobbies, she would understand, but I was too naive,” the young man explains with frustration.
Netizens overwhelmingly support the young man's approach, emphasizing that waifu figures are not just decorative items but also hold emotional value for fans. Interfering with someone's belongings and cleaning up without the owner's consent is an unacceptable action.
