Hard read because Kariya actually makes a lot of points I agree with here but then pulls out willful ignorance on the endangered status of whales. Nevertheless always fascinating to see how strongly he believes in things that don't necessarily have scientific basis. Like you can see the attitude that took Oishinbo into the 2014 fiasco lol

This chapter really pissed me off as I was reading/translating it. The way they tricked Jeff into eating whale meat is like, the most disrespectful thing Yamaoka has done before or since.
He's been disrespectful before, but in those cases, he's usually targeting stuffy customs or obnoxious folks who had it coming. This time, he took advantage of Jeff's innocence and trust.
Bad show, Yamaoka. This is not how you argue a point. Go sit in the corner.

Yeah, that was some bullshit. Even if everything else that he said was accurate, one should never, ever trick someone into eating something that they have a moral objection to eating. That's some Gordon Ramsay shit.
