From the food to the art to their work ethic, really mad indeed.
Jyru was hit by a truck and was reincarnated by the goddess of trash as a trash bag! Now, he and his companion, Lolietta, battle it out with other teams to become Lord of the Trash!!!
action/harem/comedy/slice of life
Maybe also kingdom building tag for the spice
What is kingdom building? Does it mean like... The dude becomes a king and literally builds a kingdom?
pretty much. Character spends large amount of time managing a kingdom to some extent.
It's a marathon run, then, as you have to travel that far in Japan to find enough rubbish in your trash bag.
Trash kingdom with a magical raccoon army
Not big enough:
I was sent to another world as a trash bag and now I'm in charge of a magical racoon army!
Yes, my kingdom. At least half of it.
How I Became Reincarnated As A Trash Bag
Edit: How I Became Reincarnated As A Trash Bag and Learned To Love Fast Food Again
Not innovative enough, 9/10 Isekai protags are already pieces of shit
Title must reach the minimum required character count of 64
/r/litrpg here you go!
Why did ‘My name is Earl’ just play in my head whilst reading this.
Too similar to the show: How I Became Reincarnated As A Sword
goddess of trash
Isn't that already a Konosuba character?
Lord of the Trash
Isn't that already a Konosuba character?
Lolietta very much also a Konosuba character
This but with the trash taste crew
Don't forget the geopolitics between different races
Main hero: "Even thought I em trash I will do my best!"
Mentor who owns the local dump and literally lives in trash pile.
Despicable side villain who steals already collected trash.
Goofy poor girl side character who joins up in for her dream to make it as trash wearing model.
Edgy Villain with personal honor code who will break into ppls houses to steal their trash.
Will end by heroes and the honor villain breaking into top secret military base to steal trash from the president of student councils father to gain proof of world wide evil conspiracy to shut down the trash picking sport.
sentient raccoon as mascot
Despicable villain would probably just be a litterer
But in truth the villain is placating a very powerful trash demon who is now awake because of this hyper cleaning.
the trash demon would somehow be an anime waifu of course.
French love interest Veolia wants main hero to stop fighting trash crime and settle down with her and her recycling business. He agrees and passes work to Side Villain
I think the edgy villain should be a litter picker and the main villain is the head of trash collector corp/org with their fleet of dumpster trucks/men
Planetes is a great Anime about collecting trash. It is in space though, makes it more interesting.
Here you go:
And i will wait for the eventual JRPG inspired by the anime/manga
SpoGomi: World Cup Exhibition Match Arc
Believe it or not, there actually is an anime “film” that came out in 2022! It’s called SpoGomi: World Cup Exhibition Match Arc 😂
omg boobs + useless flashbacks
Don't forget that the main character, who is just a cool dude who tries hard, will suddenly be revealed to be the son of famous guy from the past and it's always been his destiny to be the best.
I'm looking at you Naruto / Bleach / One Piece. That doesnt make me like the main character more you idiots.
Gachiakuta (Manga) already exists.
YOU CANNOT DEFEEAT ME TRASHMASTER!
Disastrous life of saiki k has an EP with this as a thing
Damn, I can’t wait to watch this two years ago.
You ever heard of a VCR?
I know of some guys in Wisconsin who might be able to fix it for you if it ever needs repairs!
Those guys are a bunch of hack frauds! Avoid at all costs!
if I record a Netflix show on my VCR, will an FBI agent from 1986 show up at my door and arrest me?
November 23 was two years ago?
I remember it like it was yesterday.....
It’s already 2025, you missed it. Super covid just dropped and the actual real life Satan just became president (he ran third party, no one thought he had a shot but people cited “the lesser evil” as their reason for voting for him over the other candidates).
Satan ran on a platform of hedonism and most people just figured they were already going to hell either way...
Wasn't november 2023 last year? Maybe I'm wrong idk
Shhh, we've gaslit him into thinkin it's 2025 rn.
It's been a long year, settle down.
Can collecting is a mini game in Yakuza
Yakuza mini game so good, they adapted it to irl
Was looking for this comment
So it’s a marathon run, because that much you have to go to find trash enough to fill your trash bag in Japan
I could show them some spots in Osaka that would fill a dozen trash bags in no time at all.
A few side streets near Shinsaibashi would be more than enough lmao
Drive route 2 under the E26 expressway going from Ibaraki to Kadoma. Enough trash to fill a dump truck.
Can we get them to have this competition weekly across india
Weekly? Try hourly.
Can anyone translate this comment after the comma for me? Because I had a stroke trying to decipher it.
This event is comparable to a marathon because presumably, it would take a lot of searching to find enough garbage to fill one bag given Japan’s stereotype for cleanliness.

In 2023! I hope I don’t miss it.
So people are going to litter more to win a collecting race. I guess ultimately it's collected at least?
They are not americans.... They dont do that
Liter is extremely common in Japan because the government systematically removed public trash cans so they could more easily tax people on the amount of trash they produced. They are just very quick at cleaning it up.
People in Japan just simply take their trash with them rather than throwing it on the ground. Or you can just go to a 7/11 for one.
My ex was Japanese and when she came to Canada the first few weeks she was constantly picking up trash on the street until the amount of trash defeated her and she just stopped picking it up. They are much cleaner than we are.
Or you can just go to a 7/11 for one.
This is valid advice for WAY MORE than one would expect in Japan.
Replaced trash cans with competitive trash collecting? And they tax the amount of trash people produce? But mah anime utopia😰😰
Although the purpose for this is to pay for the proper sorting that everyone should be doing with trash and recyclable materials
Only Americans litter?
No. That wasn't the point they were trying to make. America isn't viewed as honest around the world due to too many chad and todds types that would bring trash to win no matter what. Japanese are viewed as more honest. Despite there being plenty of corrupt in government/corporate scandals in Japan.
Stereotypes don't have to be accurate.
Americans often value winning over integrity.
What is "that"? Do you mean Americans don't litter to win a competition? Well yeah I don't know of any such competition in America. You obviously can't mean the Japanese don't litter since otherwise Japan couldn't have a trash collecting competition...
Japan good America bad am I right
Why would you assume that?
edit: to all the people saying people will cheat: this is a for fun competition held by volunteers to raise awareness of environmental issues. Japan is a developed nation where cleanliness is highly valued on a cultural level. It's not comparable to Maoist China or colonial India. In any case, running, ransacking existing litter bins and shadowing other teams are all forbidden, with each team followed by a referee to enforce the rules., and there doesn't seem to be any cash prize.
The key to reading anything like this or sharing anything like this is to also include where it clearly states: "can cause"
Which means it's not at all a guarantee and may be a very small chance. Because some random redditor below says it's very common... doesn't mean that's remotely true.
Yes, it happens but that's also why we have laws in place and we (in sport) would end up publicly shaming them. So why scare people off of what is a great idea???
it's pretty common to see happen with this kind of thing and its admittedly the first thing i worried about possibly happening when i read this
And how would that even work? You think they will leave trash in certain spots to somehow "help" themselves collect more..?
Their work ethic is not something to be lauded. Im a weeb as much as the next and would love to visit Japan someday. There is a ton about Japan that is super cool and the world could learn a thing or two from them.
Their work culture IS NOT one of them. There is also a lot about japan that is super fucked up and very regressive.

Every country has some super fucked up reality to be fair
I agree with you but is this really an "unhealthy work culture" issue? It seems like a way to have fun while doing good.
From the food to the art to their work ethic, really mad indeed.
Im referring to the comment under the photo.
Ohh okay whoopsie
We already picked your trash in FIFA world cup, you seem like you're new to our Clean culture.
Good luck trying to find trash to collect in Tokyo
That's why that's called a competition!
Tbo, it's not so hard to find it in the city center especially on Friday evening, but it's still not a big issue.
There are many tourists in Tokyo, sir.
If only they only allow kidnapping...
Probably why it's gonna happen on November, so that it's right after Halloween
We saw more cigarette vending machines out on the sidewalks than we saw cigarette butts.
I think there are weirder sports
Look up combat juggling, you can thank me later
Boxing chess too.
Chess boxing is the ultimate sport, test both body and mind
I didn't have to weave around human feces and used needles like I do in US cities.....
Tbh japan needs to promote having babies as a national sport
Women are treated like shit in japan. Why would women have kids with men that treat them like shit
They can find trash if the timing and place is correct, like an early Sunday morning in a nightlife area, lots of tourists and drunk Japanese workers. There is still littering in Japan too.
Can we just agree that having no place to put one's trash doesn't stop people from lashing out at society and install some gdamn public trashcans again?
Like a dragon,.
You know, there is a trash collect mini game in the last 2 yakuza games.
Well done Japan!
maybe i should help them by moving to Japan...
Do that all you want. David Sedaris has already won.
So whoever finds a few cups? Cause Japan is an extremely clean country.
That is going to be hard, finding trash in Tokyo, before everyone comes, the city already cleans it all,
Yes! It should be a default hiking activity! Going hiking? Pack a bag gloves and or a grabber. Don't be part of the problem. Be part of the solution.
Before any hike, your default is to plan, plan to pick some trash! It's honestly very rewarding! Leave the outdoors better then you found it!
""There's actually an issue with the trash collection near Gion, and the Kiyo-Mizudera contract has expired. The new company wants too much in compensation. Our only option is to hire the Yakuza owned trash collecting service, but they up their rates during tourist seasons."
"...no... I have an idea..."
I fucking love Japan.
How long until Goodhart's Law ruins this?
Tokyo would be like playing on easy mode. Come to Philly and play the Augusta National of competitive trash collecting.
You think people that litter watch the Olympics?
I wouldn't be surprised if they shipped in trash just for this event, so they have enough trash to play with.
Surprise! Japan actually has a lot of trash in certain areas. Drove past two bags of trash that someone tossed out there car on my way into work this evening. Beautiful stretch of road with dozens of cherry trees lining it. Seems to be a popular place to toss trash as there is usually a couple bags a week tossed there.
Brazil needs this.
That passive aggressive "clean up after yourselves."
You'd think they would hold the world championship in India. Really test their skill.
So carrying trash is a sport now? Usually i'm the trash being carried
Will OP give a follow up to this repost?
THE Trash protaganist gets sent to another world to save more trash against the demon trash king and join a trashy harem
Lmao there’s like no trash in Japan… I can’t wait for the scandal where people dump their kitchen trash into the bag to win
<jealous in European> At least we're not fckng octopuses...
Looks like they all have the same size bag so won't it be a tie?
Latina housemaids will dominate this sport.
There may not be enough trash to support the competition. They should make it international and do a competition in Philadelphia.
I’ll just capture all my ex gfs. I’d win.
Honestly this is such a great idea! I think I’m going to steal it for a school community service project!
They've already doing that in smaller scale, like villages.
I wanna see a Japanese version of Captain Planet and the Planeteers.
Did it actually happen is my question.
Whoever finds a new broken down Cybertruck in Japan is going to be the winner of this trash collecting contest.
They should send it to another country like America does.
quick question: does this mean, litering is over there now a form of being supportive?
Seems like I just need to wrap myself
There are no trash cans in Tokyo. Everyone is a trash collector while they're there.
If you want change in the world, make it competitive
Can Brussels host the next edition please?
The south of Spain could use this.
well. now we have a sport where neither the chinese, nor the russians, much less the americans, will be able to win.
Good for them! seeing trash in my city is disappointing. Wish we could live in the utopia of my dreams.
Becomes a trading card game. They end up picking up the cards off the side of the road.
They should make the next trash Olympic in Thailand, India and south America.
This is a awesome idea. Cash prize for whoever collects the most. Here in the usa the junkies would be out in full force!
Frank Reynolds would be the goat of the sport
India should start this.
Meanwhile in america: how much can you throw everywhere!
but... there is no trash to collect in Tokyo.
Gameification on another level
That's some powerful propaganda.
Being cool and healthy doesn't equal to madlad
When I was over there, it was incredible how clean the streets of Tokyo and Kyoto were of debris or trash or any kind
Oh so that mini game from Yakuza was actually somewhat realistic /based off this.
How is this "madlad"?!
I can't imagine how you can make it fair though.
A great event that will take place in the past.
That is a great idea
They'll never catch me.
I was raised in Japan, and we did that at elementary school ten years ago lol
This is awesome
- participatant spots me standing on the sidewalk
- immediately puts me in the bag
Tough mudder, take note
Just got back from Japan yesterday. One of the first things I noticed was how clean it was compared to the US.
I can just imagine hundreds of thousands of competitors streaming into a random suburb after reports of litter in a alleyway.
Then on the side, openly be like, "No white people, mixed race or gays."
but this is cool
Ah, finally someone will put some effort into picking up your mom
Japan is a relatively clean country, you are not even allowed to spit on the ground. Imagine if they did this in the slums of a third world country. Maybe a world cup in the future?
I threw my Tim Tam's wrapper in the bin.
Am I a high-performance athlete yet?
Nov 2023, So who won?
"trash collecting" is just their name for border control
I’m also holding one in Detroit. No specific day, free entry, just show up and pick up as much trash as you can and reply to this with a picture of your haul. Winner gets a $50 gift card to Jamba Juice!
Good for them.
So now, instead of cleaning up trash already on the ground, they are now throwing trash on the ground intentionally for this competition.
Well played, Japan.
Ireland does this also, on a community scale. The "tidy town" competition has been running for decades to great effect.
Must admit this looks more fun, though.
Meanwhile, in India...
Love this.
American competitor: "Where is the trash?! Candy wraps are all I found!"
Seriously... Where can I qualify?
What's specialabout this? Similarecompetitions were in the USSR (but it often led to cheating like bying books so to return them for recycling).
But I guess this SPORT will provide more value addition to the society than many so called Sports. (Especially those from winter Olympics 😏)
Years ago when I visited Japan I noticed some white collar worker in a suit picking up trash on the street with a grabber stick. I don't think he was getting paid to that that, it looked like a personal activity for himself.
Basil Fawlty voice: Just DON’T mention the comfort women camps
If I find a 20 pound muffler, does it count at garbage or recyclable?
They pretty much clean up after themselves. Concerts, ball games, movie theaters, etc.
Japan called, they need your mum for a competition
Does Japan have any trash to pick up? They’re probably the cleanest country in the world. Somebody must be throwing rubbish around for them to pick it up first
Now if only there was a way to get Americans interested in this sport.
Get them to hold it in London
As long as we don't look at their genocidal history, and current right-wing ideologies plus inability to acknowledge their past atrocities, yeah I guess they're madlads
Meanwhile in UK people throw trash next to the empty trashbin and leave heaps of garbage in front of their gate to rot for weeks.
Free trash service. By making a game out of it.
I look forward to the anime adaptation
