1:20 Lead dev Scary08 is also known as Okuechi
1:48 New sperg: LittleNazrin / Naz, who we know as Nazucos, was also part of Okeuchis inner circle, unknown as to her contribution.
2:27 January 2021 was the beginning of Become Fumo
2:44 Another Discord was made for it, technically unofficial but still used by the devs
3:10 LittleNazrin ran a VRChat group called "Nazrin's Closet" where Okuechi met up with LittleNazrin. They became friendly enough to where Okuechi merged the VRChat group into the Become Fumo Discord, nicknaming it "NazCord".
4:20 LittleNazrin began being a turbo-jannie in the NazCord
4:40 Anx / Lucaace6 was a developer for Become Fumo, and was banned with all his contributions wiped. This was because they were accused of being a groomer/pedo. The "proof" has since been wiped, with the only remnants being these thumbnails:
Anx was visited by police, where no evidence was found, Okuechi being the one who sic'ed the cops on him:
5:12 Okuechi revealed to want to date minors
6:30 Okuechi was always attracted to Nazucos
7:00 Peace in Become Fumo until Jan 2022; a new clique is introduced "Poolside"
7:21 Poolside was a handful of people who met up by a pool in Become Fumo, doing nothing else. /* it is later revealed they had their own Discord server */
7:40 Gimmick accounts solely for Become Fumo existed; this included people LARPing as NPC's, using glitches to fuck with users in Become Fumo
8:20 Drama started when FriedRiceTsubakura, a gimmick account, had an item referencing them added to the game, which our orator claims to be relatively common. Some Poolside users were mad about this. A member from Poolside would then make a gimmick account which used a bot that would teleport random users and ask to give them a flower (NOTE: Unknown as to what the joke was.) Within a few hours, bot, its creator, and other Poolside members would get banned. By the end of it, all poolside members were kicked.
9:19 Okuechi and Nazucos pulled the same act, throwing unsubstantiated allegations of pedophilia and grooming to distract from this
There was also a leaked internal Discord message where its shown their proof is an out of context tweet from a Poolside member
9:42 Okeuchi would joke about his turbo sweeping in the patch notes:
9:50 Nazcord announcement claiming all of Poolside were pedophiles was allegedly made
10:00 Its revealed there were "spies" from Nazcord inside of Poolsides Discord server
10:32 Screencap showing 15 year olds in Nazcord devs inner circle
10:45 March 5th 2022, Nazucos wiped Nazcord without warning
11:53 Nazucos seemed to not want any involvement with Become Fumo.
12:00 April 1st 2022, Okeuchi responds to the drama by posting a video of a Reimu fumo being shot, and adding a "touch grass" feature into the game, went radio silent
13:05 May 10th 2022, confirmed that Become Fumo's development would end.
13:35 Okeuchi would randomly continue development after a handful of devs came back, Poolside members got unbanned
14:10 Twitter abandoned shortly after this.
14:55 2024, a few people from Okeuchi's inner circle began recounting their stories of working with him and Nazucos:
15:16 Carrots - Met Okeuchi from around January 2021. He joined the Discord, Okeuchi was super active early on. March - April 2021 Nazcord merge was seen as weird to the original Become Fumo Discord members. VRChat people were much older than those in Roblox (Who would've known?), seemed weird to Carrots, who was 14 at the time. He came up with the NazCord name; Carrots had fun meeting people.
September - December 2021, things got sour between him and other devs, especially Okuechi and Nazucos. He got closer to Nazucos via "Funky Friday", a rhythm game in Roblox, where he played against her. He won every match, which set off Nazucos, who claimed there's no reason Carrots, a rhythm game player of two weeks should win against her and her 16 years of experience in rhythm games. This spawned a year-long competition between him and Nazucos, which he didn't care for at all. Nazucos anger towards him seeped into Okeuchi, who also began distancing himself from Carrots by refusing to acknowledge him whenever he was present in a voice or text channel. He began not speaking unless called upon to try and keep Okeuchi and Nazucos happy.
Early 2022, He went into a channel where Nazucos was streaming "NotITG" with Okeuchi. He said he found it weird how the ranking system in the game needed only 90% accuracy for an S rank, which pissed off Nazucos to hell and back, to which Carrots tried to pacify her, which worked. Later Okeuchi would later ask Carrots to apologize to Nazucos for this comment, as she felt he was "growing an attitude". Her nonsensical response is shown here:
The discussion between Carrots and Okuechi is also shown:
20:52 Zorro - Zorro was one of the developers involved, who made an announcement on January 14th, 2024 about what happened during the brief period of development after the initial closure. He claims that Nazucos and Okeuchi had a falling out, which killed the game and its server. Okeuchi decided to call different people from his friend group to start working on the game, hence the sudden boost of updates. Okeuchi later would get bogged down with other projects, so it was agreed that whatever the devs made would be released as long as they packaged it together. Okeuchi wouldn't hold up this bargin, and the new devs eventually gave up.
Zorro reveals the devs were never paid for their work, although they weren't promised any payment. The biggest point of contention is that no one was credited for their work. Okeuchi said that, if a new credits list was made, he'll add it in. Zorro made this new list and pinned it to the developer Discord on December 18th, 2022, where its been untouched. More interesting is what a "anonymous whistleblower" says about Okeuchi:
Its claimed that Okeuchi / scary08 / StringCheeseAt3AM / Epi0melette has multiple Roblox accounts to ensure he can't be hounded. Its alleged that the only time the account for Become Fumo is logged into is to get the Robux the game earns. Its said that he doesn't convert this to real money, but instead gives it to random girls he meets at the Roblox Bar "On Tap".
Zorro reveals that Okeuchi, after his falling out with Nazucos, was still fine and kept contacts with his friends. This was until he met two people Zorro refers to as "Psych" and "Bri". The two were a couple who were brought out of nowhere. They "had problems", which culminated in Bri breaking up with Psych and going with Okeuchi, a major point of contention with the friend group. Bri was so annoying to the initial group that they made a separate Discord server without her or Okeuchi. Bri and Okeuchi would break up after two - three months. Okeuchi would later realize nobody liked these events but him, and he smoothed things out between the group. A few months after these events, Okuechi would become more distant, blaming his job. It would later come out thanks to an "anonymous whistleblower" that Okuechi made a new Discord with a sizable amount of the old group being left out. Its revealed Okuechi was insulting Zorro in this new server, although he claims to not care anymore. Its claimed he has yet another Roblox girlfriend who he keeps under wraps.
Zorro than explain how one of the biggest devs, "Kiwi" outright idolized Okuechi. Okeuchi would respond by making sure their voice in all voice chats was at 10% volume. Its revealed the devs would meetup in person, as this is how Zorro learned of this. Okeuchi would reach out to Kiwi post-new Discord for the sole purpose of using their accounts permissions to upload items for his new friend group via the "
Dark Roast Workshop" group. Okeuchi would later pay Kiwi for this, although he never gave the group to Kiwi as promised. Kiwi would private the items as retaliation, to which Okeuchi has yet to respond.
Zorro reveals he's known Okeuchi since before Become Fumo, although they got closer via the game. They met up for the first to during Zorro's 21st birthday, with Nazucos and AriStellari coming along with him, although Zorro views Nazucos as just using the birthday as an excuse to visit Okeuchi; there were many IRL meetups with Nazucos and Okeuchi. Okeuchi would become more distant from February of 2023, with him becoming more estranged over time.
Kiwi (aka KiwiPoku)'s announcement of the items being wiped is shown:
We now get the full story on the Nazucos drama:
Nazucos / LittleNazrin and her girlfriend AriStellari met Okuechi approx. two months after Become Fumo began development; AriStellari and Nazucos were together for around two years at the time. Zorro states Nazucos clinged onto Okuechi, where Okuechi would implement whatever she wanted into the game. This is why Nazucos "Nazrin's Closet" VRChat server merged, much to the dismay of the original Become Fumo fans. Zorro claims Okuechi and Nazucos met up in VRChat nearly every night, with the implication there was e-dating / e-sex (no evidence, mind you.) Okuechi would frequently meet up in Nazucos' apartment, which was his reasoning for being unable to play games with his inner circle. Zorro flew to Okuechi's house for his 21st birthday, with AriStellari and Nazucos joining. Okuechi basically ignored Zorro that day. He would later fly to Nazucos, who's in Colorado, for a new years party, where they made him sleep in a hotel while Okuechi stayed with Nazucos' apartment. It was that day Zorro learned AriStellari would propose to Nazucos.
This hit Okuechi hard, as he was at Nazucos beck and call for that year. The group would go on a trip to a resort and stay at a cabin where AriStellari would propose. Zorros allowed Okeuchi to use his lap as a pillow for emotional support. This trip had 10 people, which meant Okuechi was initially going to sleep on a couch downstairs, where Zorro stayed with Okuechi, Zorro sleeping in a chair. After these events, Okuechi would try to oust Nazucos, which pissed her off. Its claimed that Nazucos "tried every method you could think of to...get him to stay", including saying she'd give him the Nazcord once she cut communications (this was a lie.) Zorro hasn't heard anything about her, although the friend group watch over her and saw she found a new person to simp over her ("notnoe") The deletion of Nazcord is what instigated Okeuchi to make new accounts, thus bringing in the Become Fumo team/friend group, and consequently the game as a whole. We get a few more names from the group/team: "denver, dovi, carrots, mages, kiwi, etc."
