You, Too, Can Become a Y-Tuber! (Japanese: 君にもなれるYチューバー! Kimi ni mo Nareru Y Chūbā!) is the 22nd episode of the Y School Heroes anime series. It was broadcasted in Japan on June 5, 2020.

Summary[]

The popular Y-Tuber, Yokokin, decided to make his debut, when the YSP Club visits him into learning how to makes popular videos. Yokokin immediately teaches Jinpei how to become a popular Y-Tuber that Jinpei finds fun, and his first video was played and received more than tens to thousands of likes. In the meantime, Jinpei learns that Yokokin had been asked directly by Ms. Enra to make a video to commemorate the renewal of Y-Academy, and decides to do it himself. Jinpei begins to think, "I thought about it without sleeping except for a nap, and what is the secret plan to make a popular video"?

Plot[]

The YSP Club visits Kinzou Yokode/Yokokin, a popular Y-tuber, to learn to make Y-Tube videos, with Jinpei receiving various tips to do so. Later, Jinpei decides to sign up for a competition to make a video commemorating the refurbishment of Y-Academy, and wasted 3 days without sleep to think of a plan, eventually deciding on using farts as his channel's topic.

Unfortunately, Yokokin starts to feel jealous of Jinpei's success and tries to out-garner views from him and fails, culminating in him threatening Jinpei in the schoolyard, his behavior being revealed to be due to being inspirited by Medatsukotosuki. Jinpei turns into Kengo Benimaru and initially seemingly beats him, but is defeated soon after and severely wounded.

Sandayu and Fubuki then transform in a vain attempt to fight off Medatsukotosuki and are forced to flee when Morina Tojiko puts herself in front of her and reveals that Jimi Nadine was inspiriting her.

Jimi Nadine then reveals that she and Medatsukotosuki were a couple with ambitions of making it big who were part of a travelling circus, tragically dying when the tent was set ablaze. Initially living a quiet life, the ghost who would become Medatsukotosuki saw Y-Tube for the first time and his ambitious returned, resulting in his current attire, with Jimi Nadine following suit.

Jimi Nadine then briefly fights and restrains her husband when Haruhiko inspirits them both, fusing the into Mediagigas and brainwashing most of the Y-tube viewers into being his zombies as Sandayu and Fubuki hide in the bushes to wait it out.

Mataro is carrying the passed out Jinpei when Bluepon appeared and healed him. Assuming the form of Kengo Benimaru yet again, Jinpei reprimands Mediagigas for his behavior before finally destroying the Onryo with his Cross Pulverizing Slash.

Yokokin and Morina then recover, with the former stating he knows Y-Tube is more than garnering views. Meanwhile, Jinpei decides to quit being Y-tuber (claiming its boring), and becoming a V-tuber instead, while Yokokin then uploads the refurbished "10,000 farts "video which grows in popularity exponentially as the episode ends.

Trivia[]

This episode makes heavy references to the pop culture surrounding YouTube.
- Y-Tuber Yokokin is a reference to the Japanese Youtuber HikakinGames.
- The scene where Yokokin pours some ranume into a bottle of cola is a reference to the popular experiment of putting Mentos into Coca-Cola.
- The scene where a video of Usuke was posted, garnering positive reception is a reference to how animal pet videos (mainly cats) become popular on the internet.
- The Y-Tuber Club room has two framed awards reminiscent of the silver and gold play buttons YouTubers get if they reach a certain amount of subscribers.
- The episode overall appears to be mocking YouTube culture where YouTubers only care about views and make bad videos without the fans' desires at heart, as well as audiences always wanting more.
If one listens closely, Fubuki Himekawa's voice lines are of a lower audio quality, implying that her voice actress' lines were recorded back at home, due to the COVID-19 pandemic that was likely going on at large during the recording of this episode.
