When Yoko entered the chat it was already lively. ssages were flying across the screen so fast that she almost had trouble reading them. Many viewers were excitedly typing things like, "Hey this is pretty cool! There are a lot of emojis here!" while others spamd rows of silly faces, reaction icons, and early internet s. The chat window looked chaotic but also strangely fun, like a crowd of people all talking at the sa ti. Curious, Yoko slowly typed her own ssage into the chat box. "Hey guys." Her ssage appeared on the screen for a brief mont before it was quickly pushed upward by dozens of new ssages flooding in. Because the chat was already so crowded, no one responded to her ssage at all. Even so, Yoko simply smiled to herself. Watching the chat scroll endlessly while people joked and spamd emojis felt completely new and exciting to her.
Then one minute passed before Zaboru finally appeared on cara with a relaxed smile. "Yo guys! What—already 4,000 people in here? And it's still rising? Pretty great!" he laughed. Zaboru was wearing casual clothes and a headset, looking comfortable in front of the cara. Even in such a simple setup he still looked naturally charming. He leaned slightly closer to the microphone and continued, "So how's the platform, guys? Do you enjoy it so far? And yes, this will be the first major livestream on this website, so feel free to ask anything. Hahaha, I'll answer your questions! Cool, right?"
The chat imdiately exploded with excitent. ssages and emojis flooded the screen so quickly it beca difficult to read. Yoko felt her heart beating faster as she watched him speak live. Without thinking too much she quickly typed her own ssage into the chat. With a bright grin she wrote, "ZABORU-SAMA I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN!"
Of course it wasn't even a real question—just a pure fangirl statent.
anwhile, Zaboru chuckled on the video. "Hey, relax guys! I'll choose random questions, okay?" He scanned the chat quickly before pointing at one. "Oh, this one is interesting. 'Zaboru‑san, are you really an alien like everyone says?'"
Zaboru grinned widely. "Of course. Ware‑ware wa Uchūjin de aru. I'm actually an alien who ca from Earth. I even have a friend—his na is Clark Kent. I think he might be an alien too, right?"
He burst into laughter, and the chat instantly exploded with laughing emojis and s. Everyone knew he was joking, but the ridiculous answer only made the viewers enjoy it more.
After the laughter settled a little, Zaboru looked back at the chat again and scrolled through the rapidly moving ssages. "Alright, next question. Hmm… 'What is my favorite food?' That's a pretty normal question."
He nodded confidently and leaned back slightly in his chair. "My favorite food is gyoza and fried chicken—especially if my mom cooks it."
A few laughing emojis imdiately began appearing in the chat.
Zaboru leaned closer to the cara with a playful but sincere expression. "Hey, real n eat their mom's cooking. You should be grateful if she cooks for you. Seriously. When you grow older you realize that homade food is the best."
He pointed lightly toward the cara. "And boys! Listen to your mom, okay? Don't complain too much about the food. One day you'll miss it."
The chat imdiately filled with laughing reactions, heart emojis, and playful complaints from viewers typing things like 'My mom burns everything!' or 'My mom makes vegetables every day!'
Zaboru chuckled while reading the ssages. "Hey, vegetables are good for you! Don't run from them."
Then he noticed another comnt and read it aloud. "'What if my mom's cooking is bad?'"
He looked genuinely surprised for a mont, blinking twice as if he needed to think about the answer. The chat paused for a split second in anticipation.
Then he shrugged dramatically. "Well… that's your problem. Don't ask ! Hahaha!"
The chat instantly exploded again with laughter and emojis. So viewers spamd crying-laughing faces while others typed dramatic complaints about their own cooking disasters at ho. A few even joked that Zaboru had just "declared war on bad cooking moms."
Yoko was blushing hard right now. It almost felt like she was actually talking to Zaboru himself instead of just watching him through a screen. Her heart was beating fast, and strangely it felt really good for her ntal health, like the excitent was washing away all her stress. She took a deep breath and decided that this ti she would ask a real question instead of just fangirling. Carefully she typed into the chat: "Zaboru-sama, what do you think about emulators? Are they illegal?"
For a mont she didn't expect anything to happen because the chat was moving so fast. But suddenly Zaboru paused while reading the ssages and pointed at one.
"What do you think about emulators? Are they legal?" he read aloud. "Hey, this is an interesting question."
He leaned back slightly and thought for a mont before answering.
"So let answer this properly. The short answer is yes—emulators themselves are legal. I know that our console emulators, especially for ZEPS‑1 and ZEPS‑2, are already around on PC. Technically what those programs do is simply emulate the console hardware. That part by itself is not illegal."
He raised a finger while continuing.
"However, playing ZAGE gas through emulators usually involves downloading ga files from the internet, and that part is piracy. So it's not really legal in that sense."
Zaboru then shrugged casually.
"But honestly? I don't really mind that much."
The chat imdiately reacted with surprised emojis.
"Emulators themselves have a lot of potential," he continued. "I actually want that technology to grow. It has many uses. For example, if you want to record your gaplay or do livestreaming from a console ga, emulators can help a lot because you can capture the video easily."
He laughed lightly.
"To be honest, even I use them sotis when I'm testing things. So I'm not going to pretend they're evil or anything."
Zaboru then added jokingly, "Who knows? Maybe in the future ZAGE will even release our own official emulator. But that depends on my mood. Hahaha!"
Then Zaboru suddenly noticed the userna that asked the question. "Oh, this user is called MuSho… wait, is this the real MuSho? Hello, Yoko‑san!" he said with a surprised grin as he pinned her ssage on the screen.
Yoko's heart skipped a beat the mont she heard her na. "W‑what!? What do I do!?" she whispered to herself in panic, staring at the monitor in disbelief. The entire chat imdiately started reacting, realizing that the famous E‑sport player MuSho might actually be in the stream.
Of course Zaboru recognized her—she was already well known in the competitive scene after all. After a mont of hesitation, Yoko slowly typed a reply with trembling fingers. "Yes… I'm the real MuSho, Zaboru‑sama."
Zaboru burst into laughter. "Ahahaha! That's great! You should try doing livestreams next ti too, Yoko‑san. I'm sure people would love to watch you play."
The chat instantly exploded with excitent and cheering ssages as viewers realized that both Zaboru and the famous MuSho were interacting live.
Zaboru smiled and waved slightly toward the cara before continuing, "Alright, let's keep going!"
Zaboru truly cared about the video ga industry, so the topic of emulators did not worry him too much. Soon another question appeared in the chat and caught his attention. He read it aloud. "Is it true that ZAGE patents all of the chanics they create?"
Zaboru grinned and nodded. "Yes, that's correct—but it's not the kind of patent you might think." He leaned slightly closer to the cara as if explaining sothing important. "Most companies patent chanics so nobody else can use them. They treat ideas like locked treasure chests. Once they claim it, no one else is allowed to touch it."
He shook his head lightly.
"But we do the opposite. We patent them so everyone can use them."
The chat slowed down slightly as people listened more carefully. So viewers even stopped spamming emojis just to read what he was saying.
"Well, it works like this," Zaboru continued. "I want to prevent other companies from locking gaplay ideas behind legal walls. I don't want to see companies try to patent gaplay systems, art styles, control chanics, or even cara behaviors so that only they can use them."
He shrugged lightly.
"That kind of thinking hurts the entire video ga industry. Gas evolve because developers learn from each other. One studio makes a good idea, another studio improves it, then soone else builds sothing even better from that."
He gestured with his hand as if stacking ideas on top of each other.
"So we patent the chanics first—but our rule is simple: anyone can use them for free. Developers can build on them, improve them, remix them, experint with them, whatever they want. We are basically turning patents into a shield instead of a weapon."
Zaboru raised a finger to emphasize his point.
"But if a company tries to patent a gaplay system just to block other developers, then ZAGE will step in and challenge them legally. If soone tries to lock creativity away, we'll break that lock."
He leaned back with a relaxed smile.
"Gas should be about creativity. Creativity should be infinite. Ideas should move freely between developers so the industry can grow."
He paused briefly before adding another thought.
"If you're afraid soone will make a better ga using your chanics, then the problem isn't them—it's you."
He chuckled softly.
"As a ga developer you shouldn't be protecting ideas out of fear. You should be improving them. Build sothing better. Push the idea further. Surprise players with sothing new."
He spread his hands casually.
"That's how the industry grows. Not by locking ideas away, but by challenging each other to make sothing greater."
The chat applauded loudly, with many viewers spamming clapping emojis and excited reactions across the screen. Of course, there were also plenty of people who didn't agree with his opinion, and a few skeptical comnts appeared among the cheering ssages. Zaboru simply chuckled when he saw the mixed reactions. "Relax guys," he said casually. "ZAGE will gain nothing from these patents. The whole point is just to make sure greedy companies can't lock those ideas away first. We're basically holding the door open so everyone can walk through it. Hehehe." He leaned back in his chair with a playful grin before suddenly changing the mood. "Anyway guys! Want to see kick so ass in Counter‑Strike?" Instantly the chat exploded with excitent again as thousands of viewers typed the sa answer at once: "YES!"
Then Zaboru booted up Counter‑Strike from his Steam and quickly jumped into a deathmatch ga. As usual, he played while chatting casually with the viewers, but despite talking so relaxedly he still dominated the match. He switched between many weapons with smooth confidence, eliminating opponents one after another while continuing to read ssages from the chat. Even Yoko stared at the screen in awe. His skill was incredible. He landed ridiculous shots—clean no‑scopes, even a flashy 360 no‑scope that made the chat explode with screaming emojis. At one point he did sothing outrageous: he tossed a grenade near a group of players just to distract them, rushed forward with his knife to take one out, then instantly switched to his Magnum and finished another enemy with a precise no‑scope shot. The sequence looked almost effortless. It was honestly extrely entertaining to watch. anwhile Zaboru kept talking casually to the stream as if the intense gaplay was nothing. "Oh yeah, I really love basketball," he said while lining up another shot. Bang. "And Bruce Lee is so damn cool!" Another enemy dropped. Despite the chaos happening on screen, Zaboru looked completely relaxed, laughing and chatting with viewers while continuing to rack up kills.
The livestream continued for quite so ti, and as YouTube—or Z‑Tube—kept growing in popularity, its impact began to ripple across other industries. In particular, the traditional TV entertainnt industry would soon start to feel the shift, as more people turned toward interactive online content instead of scheduled broadcasts.
