Four Nijisanji Talents Get Everyone Back Alive in Content Warning, Then Buy the Trampoline

NIJISANJI — Shu Yamino, Fuwa Minato, Nanase Suzuna and Pomelo Punch finished a three-and-a-half-hour session of Content Warning on Monday night by getting all four of them back to the surface on the final run, then spending their earnings on the trampoline they had wanted since the opening minutes. The stream was the second get-together, or *nijikai*, for the group they call Sonar Jōtō, held a day after their Splatoon outing. Fuwa said at the close that he had not expected a second round to come together so quickly.

In Content Warning, a crew descends into what the game calls the Old World, films frightening things on a camera and uploads the footage to an in-game video site, where views turn into ad revenue that pays for gear such as flashlights, a boom microphone and a hug that heals teammates. Suzuna and Pomelo were new to the game and joined Shu and Fuwa after a round of introductions. On the first dive a creature attacked the group; Suzuna and Pomelo were lost, and Fuwa told the camera that he would escape alone. The footage still paid out, and the four laughed that the video site played it back at deafening volume.

“Something terrible has happened. Three of my companions have been killed. I want to bring this footage home, even if I am the only one.” — Nanase Suzuna, narrating the ending of the group’s video

Sponsored jobs soon arrived in the game’s mail. The group took a burger advertisement that called for three different monsters in one shot while a burger was held up to the camera, and they filmed it. A strong creature then caught Pomelo on the way back to the exit, and the group lamented that the job was lost, but they returned for the dropped camera and the burger video was eventually uploaded.

Several runs ended just short. At about 1 hour 23 minutes the group missed the escape by seconds, with the button pressed, and had to start again from the beginning. In a later run a revive item set off an explosion that took out the whole team. After a run that ended when the oxygen ran out, the group agreed it could not finish the night on that note and went in for one last try. Suzuna got back to the surface with the footage and recorded the ending narration for the video, and the group went on to clear its quota on the second in-game day.

A video from the middle of the night passed 14,000 views. The third stage was harder: touching a container marked with a warning symbol killed Fuwa at once, and an exploding creature caught the group out in another attempt. On the last dive, though, all four made it back, filmed a closing clip with the front-facing camera, finished the sponsored job and bought the trampoline. They bounced on it until the game’s sleep scene ended the night.

Chat cheered the group on at the escape, writing “Make it! Make it!”, and groaned when it fell short. At the close, Suzuna said Sonar Jōtō was “immortal,” and Shu said the quick turnaround let them play while memories of the Splatoon outing were still fresh. Fuwa said he hoped someone would plan another get-together, Splatoon included. Pomelo said she would be off stream for several days and would return on or after the 16th, and was considering a chat stream to catch up on messages from her birthday and the Splatoon period.
