This is wild, isn't it?
Here's the news article:

This is not something you can just brush off with a "wild, isn't it?"

Just watch for yourself. He's absurdly strong. Other EX-rank explorers are also ridiculously overpowered, but Kisaragi stands out—like he's on a different level. Of course, who's the "strongest" depends on the situation and conditions.
7: Anonymous Explorer
??5
He's EX-rank. Weakness isn't even an option.
8: Anonymous Explorer
Honestly, we only started getting a sense of how powerful the EX-rank is because Kisaragi started streaming. Before that, we didn't even really know how strong the S-ranks were.

Yeah, but now people can visualize what "strongest" means. Anyone can call someone the strongest without proof, but showing it is another story.

Clearing a fully submerged dungeon is some next-level madness.
14: Anonymous Explorer
If it's still underwater, only Kisaragi can do it. That's so unfair.
15: Anonymous Explorer

I watched the stream—it was clear that only Kisaragi could pull off this kind of run. So, even though it feels like a weird kind of victory, a clear is a clear.
16: Anonymous Explorer
??15
It's the same with the Takayama and Sapporo Dungeons. Even after someone clears them, not everyone can reach the lower levels.
17: Anonymous Explorer
Just because it's been cleared doesn't mean everyone can instantly reach the final floor.
18: Anonymous Explorer
The only question is whether only Kisaragi can do it, or if other elites can handle it too.
19: Anonymous Explorer
What if another explorer who can dive underwater shows up? Could they make it?
20: Anonymous Explorer
??19
No chance. There's no way anyone else can navigate that kind of darkness.
21: Anonymous Explorer
With Nagoya cleared, that makes three cleared dungeons in Japan, including the recent Sapporo Dungeon.
22: Anonymous Explorer
How many dungeons are there in Japan?
23: Anonymous Explorer
Around 40, wasn't it?
24: Anonymous Explorer
That's barely any progress, lol.
25: Anonymous Explorer
Honestly, it's wild that two dungeons were cleared back-to-back. I think there are only about 30 cleared dungeons worldwide, right?
26: Anonymous Explorer
This is crazy.
27: Anonymous Explorer

Could this be Japan's golden age?
28: Anonymous Explorer

Nah, it's just the top-tier explorers carrying everything. The rest aren't that great.
29: Anonymous Explorer
Meanwhile, I hear our government isn't even properly funding mid-tier explorers.
30: Anonymous Explorer
??29
They really should invest more.
31: Anonymous Explorer
This is such a typical problem in Japan.
32: Anonymous Explorer
Do explorers often move abroad for better opportunities?
33: Anonymous Explorer
Probably not as much as you'd think. With over 30 dungeons on a small island, the economy here isn't that bad, even if magic stone prices are a bit lower.
34: Anonymous Explorer
Even if they wanted to work abroad, the conditions differ between dungeons, so it's not that simple.
35: Anonymous Explorer
Since Kisaragi cleared Nagoya, I hope he starts clearing other dungeons too—for humanity's sake.
36: Anonymous Explorer
Please stop placing the future of humanity on the shoulders of an 18-year-old.
37: Anonymous Explorer
??37
He's EX-rank, though. In this field, age is just a number.
38: Anonymous Explorer
I'm thinking about diving into Nagoya Dungeon myself.
39: Anonymous Explorer
??38
What's the point? You can barely make it past the 10th floor, and it's not even worth it with so few monsters around.
40: Anonymous Explorer
??39
That's a hilariously awful dungeon when you put it like that, lol.
41: Anonymous Explorer
Seriously, no one even considered trying to clear Nagoya Dungeon. This is a quiet but impressive achievement.
42: Anonymous Explorer
"Quiet"? This is insanely impressive. If this isn't flashy, nothing is.
43: Anonymous Explorer
Let's not forget—this dungeon was deemed impossible for humanity to clear. And now one guy did it solo. That's the stuff of legends.
44: Anonymous Explorer
Maybe not a hero, but Kisaragi will go down in history as a great figure.
45: Anonymous Explorer
Finally, now that Nagoya Dungeon is cleared, people will stop making fun of us locals.
46: Anonymous Explorer
??45
Wait, you live near Nagoya Dungeon? Lol, the property values must be rock-bottom.
47: Anonymous Explorer
??45
Still, since only Kisaragi can clear it, the area's value won't improve much, lol.
48: Anonymous Explorer
That's just brutal, lol.
49: Anonymous Explorer
Yeah, the land around Nagoya Dungeon is cheap. No one wants to be near an uncleared dungeon. Imagine if monsters started spilling out one day—what would they do?
50: Anonymous Explorer
Monsters spilling out of a dungeon? Nah, that won't happen.
51: Anonymous Explorer
??50
Oh, sure (looks away).
52: Anonymous Explorer
They said the same thing during the early days of dungeon exploration... and look what happened.
53: Anonymous Explorer
Kamakura... (whispered)
54: Anonymous Explorer
Let's not bring up the Kamakura Dungeon Incident—it's Japan's most shameful moment.
55: Anonymous Explorer
??54
Why are you explaining it in detail, though?
56: Anonymous Explorer
lol
57: Anonymous Explorer
It's been 50 years since then… maybe we can move on by now.
58: Anonymous Explorer
Nope. It's still relevant—they only finished wiping out the escaped monsters about 10 years ago.
59: Anonymous Explorer
I heard property values around dungeons tanked after that. What's the situation now?
60: Anonymous Explorer
It depends on the dungeon. Since Nagoya Dungeon was cleared, you'd think the value would go up, but… nope. Not yet.
61: Anonymous Explorer
It makes sense. It's still a dungeon that only Kisaragi can handle.
62: Anonymous Explorer
Shouldn't we just put Kisaragi in the Guinness Book of World Records for clearing the most dungeons?
63: Anonymous Explorer
Let him clear more first before doing that.
64: Anonymous Explorer
Just because it's cleared doesn't mean anything will change right away. People are making way too big a deal about this. Does Kisaragi Tsukasa really deserve this much hype?
65: Anonymous Explorer
??64
If it's being discussed on an anti-fan thread, that already says a lot, doesn't it?
66: Anonymous Explorer
??64
What part of his performance makes you think he's weak?
67: Anonymous Explorer
Apparently, someone from the anti-thread went on social media to argue that Nagoya Dungeon wasn't a big deal… and they got absolutely roasted. Deleted their account, too.
68: Anonymous Explorer
??67
Why do anti-fans always think going public will end well? They should've just stayed in their little echo chamber.
69: Anonymous Explorer
??68
It's classic behavior. They get hyped by people agreeing with them in the anti-thread and think, "Everyone must feel the same way!" Then they post it publicly and get dunked on.
70: Anonymous Explorer
Why are you guys so mean, though?
71: Anonymous Explorer
Because it's the truth.
72: Anonymous Explorer
Look, if they just stayed in their anti-thread, no one would care. But the moment they go public, it's over.
73: Anonymous Explorer
Talking down on Nagoya Dungeon's clear would piss off Aichi locals, for sure.
74: Anonymous Explorer
??64
Maybe learn more about dungeons before posting next time. Otherwise, you'll end up like that anti-fan who got roasted on social media.
75: Anonymous Explorer
At the end of the day, less than 40 dungeons have ever been fully cleared worldwide. That should tell you everything.
76: Anonymous Explorer
Just reaching the final floor is an incredible feat. If you understand that, you'd never say Kisaragi's achievement isn't impressive.
77: Anonymous Explorer
You'd think people would know by now. The media covers dungeons all the time, and there are tons of YouTube videos explaining this stuff.
78: Anonymous Explorer
Even elementary school kids know about this stuff nowadays.
79: Anonymous Explorer
Yeah, with all the explainer videos and highlights out there, it makes sense that kids are so well-informed. But how are NEETs still so clueless?
80: Anonymous Explorer
NEETs are too busy arguing online to learn anything useful.
81: Anonymous Explorer
??79
Honestly, if they were the type to work hard and learn, they wouldn't be NEETs in the first place.
82: Anonymous Explorer
I watched the archive of the stream from ??1, and the first 20 floors were super beautiful and peaceful… but from the 40th floor onward, it just got terrifying. Couldn't keep watching.
83: Anonymous Explorer
??82
I saw some folks with thalassophobia freaking out on social media.
84: Anonymous Explorer
Yeah, that dungeon must've been a nightmare for anyone with thalassophobia. Even the deeper layers of the Shibuya Dungeon had oceans, though.
85: Anonymous Explorer
You have to be pretty tough to handle these kinds of explorations, huh?
86: Anonymous Explorer
So… does that mean all explorers are basically the kings of online arguments too?
87: Anonymous Explorer
??86
Well, online arguments are won by not giving in. If your mental strength is top-tier, you'll dominate arguments too.
88: Anonymous Explorer
A dungeon deemed impossible for humans to clear. And Kisaragi cleared it.
But wait… has anyone said he's actually human?
89: Anonymous Explorer
The logic goes:
Nagoya Dungeon is impossible for humans.Kisaragi cleared it.Therefore, Kisaragi isn't human.
Q.E.D.
90: Anonymous Explorer
??89
That's the dumbest logic I've ever heard.
91: Anonymous Explorer
It's more like three-layered nonsense than proper logic, tbh.
92: Anonymous Explorer
But Kisaragi not being human feels kinda accurate.
93: Anonymous Explorer
Sorry, but the "Kisaragi is not human" theory was already debunked. That's an old one.
94: Anonymous Explorer
Wait, it got debunked?
95: Anonymous Explorer
The reasoning was weak, though. They said, "He eats food on stream, so he must be human." That's hardly convincing.
96: Anonymous Explorer
lol No way that counts as proof.
97: Anonymous Explorer
Why are we even seriously debating whether Kisaragi is human?
98: Anonymous Explorer
Because clearing Nagoya Dungeon makes no sense otherwise. Even I can't wrap my head around it.
99: Anonymous Explorer
??98
I get that it's hard to believe, but the fact is that he cleared it. Time to accept reality.
