My theory is that the SOS signal is a compilation of multiple people being lost, the first group or person that may have been lost started to build the sign but never finished and perished, then more people who would get lost find the incomplete sign then try to complete it themselves, it goes on and on until the sign is complete and hopeful someone finds it.
Been to Japan a couple times now (and this year in April it will be the 4th time!) I read about local folklore a lot and all the yokai etc after I went to Kyoto in 2018. I never felt uneasy in Japan, from the start when I first landed in Narita in 2017, I felt at home. Even though I hate big cities, specially at night, I had no problem walking around the neighbourhood at 10 PM. Something I wouldn't do where I live honestly) But in Kyoto...idk...I stayed at an Airbnb in the north of Kyoto. It was purely a residential area which got really quiet after dark and I appreciated that. The second day I was there (I stayed like a week) I felt...weird when it went dark outside. Somehow like I was being watched by someone or something. It should be noted that like I said, I only went into the urban legends and folklore AFTER this visit. I can't really tell what it was exactly, but you know the feeling when you think something is lurking in the darkness and is focused on you? It was something like that. I had to go outside to have a cigarette and I didn't had any problems doing that over the previous 2 weeks when I stayed in Tokyo and Nagoya. But holy shit I felt so bad outside when it was dark and I noticed that very few people, actually from what I could gather there were none, would walk on the streets. Sure this can be accounted to the fact, that it was mostly weekdays and people had to sleep, but it felt off. To this day I have no Idea what happened there but from my previous experiences, this was very strange and almost disturbing. It still makes me think, since in 2019 when I was there for the 3rd time and I stayed in Osaka and Tokyo, something like this didn't happen again, and I was walking through weird districts in Osaka xD I feel like something was there during those 6 Days and had an eye on me and I rather don't want to have this feeling EVER again. Also I was mostly alone at that house and only one time there were some young people having a...Squid party...whatever that meant, I was told that by the owner. After they left I heard weird noises from downstairs like chairs getting pushed around. Or at least that is what it sounded like. I mean it could be that someone came to clean up, but it was like 1 AM in the morning so...Idk...It was very weird there lol
I hope you guys react to more mr ballen some really good ones are the palmyra wolves, skinwalker ranch, the story of the dibbuk box, a nasa engineer being terrorized by a demon and some cops story's involving the paranormal. Mr ballen additionally always has people be mean to the like button its great xD. Id love to see more you guys are some of my favorite reactors
Maybe nobody got lost in that timeframe and the SOS wasn't made until after the Kenji search was called off? Alternatively the time of year might have mattered. When the grass is short it might show up fine, but if it's taller for some months it could easily hide the logs. So if people got lost in certain months the SOS might not have showed up.
@@bolbyballinger Japan don't use helicopters except for emergencies. No way in hell anybody could've found that SOS... if I died there, I'd curse the damn place with my ancestors culture mixed with my own ways.
Clearly the builders of the SOS was there before Kenji. I don't even know if Kenji saw the SOS before he died, but it was either 1 or many people who builf it after rescue copters was most common in Japan
Me and my friend are actually planning on going to Japan when we finish University so any information we can get even crazy and unfortunate ones like this help. Just wondering what you actually mean by not going on tour and simply staying in the city bro? Is it dangerous to go around and explore?
yeah that's they best way honestly. Or make it two, through the trainsystem there it is so smooth to go from one playe to another. Or just make one day trips to smaller cities around.
@@carlosnunes929 guess he meant, that you shoudl pick a city and do stuff there, don't go on those guided tours or smth. You will miss out so much, better to explore everything on your own pace and on your own terms.
What Japanese Search and Rescue team/ police are terrible at there job? No Way. If you really to known how terrible they are at there job, do some research on the JAL 123 plane crash
Also they don’t take the massive stalking issues seriously still even after people have been FUCKING KILLED BECAUSE OF IT! For a country so obsessed with having a good image they don’t seem to be doing a good job at actually maintaining it.
Yeah it's a real japanese island that was invaded by the mongolians. Obviously the game took some liberties but there's some real historical accuracy in the game. For example, Khotun Khan was actually there as part of the invasion. Another is that the mongolians were the first to bring powder kegs into japan which is why Jin is a little confused as to why those barrels can blow up when ignited. Tsushima was the first invasion, the 2nd invasion went bad when the mongolians were caught in a storm in the ocean when they were going after mainland japan.
You guys should check out a channel called the lore lodge it's a smaller channel but, has similar content to mrballen but, way more in-depth like missing 411 cults lore and, haunted stories too
Well, at least Logan Paul grew as a person. He definitely change from a kid to an adult after the "Forest" incident. And I hope he doesn't go to the Bamboo Valley.
Currently as of late, probably still ongoing online news that he's scams people, especially when he said so on some podcast I overheard from my mother's boyfriend.
since that incident ill never trust anything both of them do. but now there is a drama that these two make a cryto game and a bunch of people buying it and invest but turn out it a scam.............. i mean if you trust anyone that post a video of a human person end himself on video and making fun of it but still trust them with your money. i don't want to say this but you had it coming.
When the question of what one would like to see in a visit to japan is asked, there is a cursed comment that could be made. I just don’t want to be the one to make it today.

@Emerald Mage I don't have discord so If you have discord please recommended
Cool fact for you guys, before he was a RUclipsr Mr.Ballen was a Navy Seal and he did a video describing how he went from that to this
that explains the signature mustache

I’m surprised they haven’t gotten rid of false safe rock.
Or made actual landmarks instead of using the rocks on the land
Well it’s better than another RUclipsrs visit to Japan
Anything is

And we can't forget about the classic: Bells Canyon!
And the Sierra Sounds.
If I survived that I would go back and just blow the fuck up of that false safe rock, obviusly I'd check if its the right one
(Proceeds to get lost yet again.)
i'm confused as to how the SOS signal wasn't found for 5 years
Maybe nobody got lost in that timeframe and the SOS wasn't made until after the Kenji search was called off?

@@ChaolaoFueChi cringe.
I love RMG and I especially love RMG reacting to MrBallen
you guys NEED to react to his missing 411 playlist
5:35 actual reaction starts here
Clearly the builders of the SOS was there before Kenji. I don't even know if Kenji saw the SOS before he died, but it was either 1 or many people who builf it after rescue copters was most common in Japan
now i wonder if Nic is gonna go to Japan' famous Haunted school that is a tourist place, and i have seen how it looks from a show from South Korea
Please react to this Mr Ballen video some time in the next couple months:

I've been to Japan a couple years ago I fully recommend it but don't go on a tour just pick a city and stay there

If you want more ghost ideas for California, they also have the Winchester house and I believe you can still do haunted tours of the Queen Mary.
I've been reading a manga named monkey peak. Truly don't go hiking in japan
Only do if your like strapped as if your going to raid a compound full of armed terrorist
I can now, this feels like the inspiration to it
I think you guys should react to snapcubes sonic dubs videos. They are really great
What Japanese Search and Rescue team/ police are terrible at there job? No Way.

I may sound like a prick but dude can they just like take the Amogus rock and put it somewhere else where people won't get lost?
Or put up some fucking signs for crying out loud!
Or put actual landmarks
5:32 Enjoy everyone
Thanks Caleb
I didn’t know Tsushima was an actual place
Really?
@@Darkraes743 Yep I thought it was a fictional world designed for the game
@@Caring570 and it was invaded by the Mongols.
Bruh

Someone had to have made that clearing to begin with, most likely loggers. The birch logs were probably already cut and put in a pile right there.
Check out the Mr ballen story about the power rangers child star turned killer
what omg mrballen is known for his mean abuse of the like button, its hilarious.
Yess
Man did nobody really think to just push over or knock down the fake safe rock instead of just renaming it like a dumbass
5:30
Well, at least Logan Paul grew as a person. He definitely change from a kid to an adult after the "Forest" incident. And I hope he doesn't go to the Bamboo Valley.
I think he actually has a chill podcast now.
Didn’t he get into NFTs?
Currently as of late, probably still ongoing online news that he's scams people, especially when he said so on some podcast I overheard from my mother's boyfriend.
Okay this is a first I heard of this after I search whatchu guys said.
since that incident ill never trust anything both of them do. but now there is a drama that these two make a cryto game and a bunch of people buying it and invest but turn out it a scam.............. i mean if you trust anyone that post a video of a human person end himself on video and making fun of it but still trust them with your money.
i don't want to say this but you had it coming.
if you are Swedish the name of the creator is hilarious.
When the question of what one would like to see in a visit to japan is asked, there is a cursed comment that could be made. I just don’t want to be the one to make it today.
I'm intrigued but I'll stay away from it.
