When it comes to legendary videos, we can’t leave out one where a fan of “To LOVE-Ru” was edited to be included in the scene where Yui Kotegawa hides from the rain on some park rides and runs into Rito Yuuki. There, they both have a pretty nice moment and, in addition to a misunderstanding, it lends itself to developing the relationship between these two.

But forget about Rito Yuuki, because this fan edited the scene to include himself in it. And we are not referring to static images, but rather it was recorded with a green screen behind doing the same movements as the protagonistto then be included in the scene with, in fact, pretty good editing skills.

And what’s more, you probably know this video too because included the song “When I Fall in Love” by Enrique Iglesias and Juan Luis Guerraa track that was extremely popular in the early 2010s, which just shows how old this video really is.

But why are we talking about this video so many years after its release on the Internet? Despite being a relic of Latin America, it seems that this video was finally discovered by the Japanese. This arose when a user shared a screenshot of the character in the same scene, and a user responded with the video in question.

It seems that this was the first time that Japanese people saw this video, as demonstrated by the comments below:

  • «That’s it, it arrived in Japan».
  • «On behalf of Mexico, we apologize… for not having sent you the video on time».
  • «Hahahaha, every time I see this video I burst out laughing».
  • «They discovered us, we can no longer hide».
  • «I never thought I would live to see this. It only took more than 5 years».
  • «We did it, we did it, we have broken each and every barrier of language, ethnicity, government, everything. Latin America always stands out. We managed to bring an edit ‘to’ qlero to Japan, and they like it… although no one believes it, Latin America is a world power, I know it».
  • «Well, the surprising thing is that it took so long to arrive».
  • «Damn, they discovered our plot!».
  • «I love how continents can unite with something that was previously only seen as something for rejected people, cinema».
  • «It can’t be, how did that video get to Japan?».
  • «How far this video went! Now I’m interested in knowing, what reactions did you have when you saw it?».
  • «Japan, we can explain it. This comes from a dark time when otakus were harassed. One day, one of them learned to edit and this is the result. Nowadays we don’t know what happened to that guy, but thanks to him, otakus began to be accepted».
  • «Curse! How did a Japanese man have access to the most guarded and secret video in LATAM?».
  • «I thought there was a continental pact, that video should not leave this continent!».
  • «How did that edit end up in the hands of a Japanese person? What a good edit, my god, every time I see it I laugh and it’s been around for 10 years now, when anime was weird, wow!».
  • «It can’t be, this exists. I thought it was a meme. How do I uncover this? What a bad day to have eyes and insert other expressions in JPG».
  • «I was just waiting for this video to be posted, hahaha».
  • «After so many years, it finally happened. They already exposed half the continent».
  • «I apologize for the otakus in LATAM. Not all of us who like anime know how to edit in Adobe».
  • «The other day I was in the supermarket and that song started playing. I immediately remembered this video. It’s incredible the damage it has done to my subconscious.».
