Overview
Daniel expresses resentment toward YouTuber Chris Broad regarding their shared primary school background, viewing Broad as purely transactional in relationships with creators like PewDiePie and Joey.
Daniel deleted a video detailing where Broad was from after Broad messaged reservations and suggested getting drinks in Osaka, an offer that went unfulfilled and caused lingering regret and bitterness.
Daniel claims that Broad brought up The Anime Man and discouraged Daniel because of previous criticism directed at Joey.
During a cycle stream the previous year at the main Osaka train station, Daniel trailed behind Chris out of sight and approached CDawgVA (Connor) and Pete on camera, asking Connor for a photo, requesting to be told to fuck off, and asking them to pass greetings along to Chris.
