Last August, a 29-year-old factory worker was arrested for setting his house on fire. The cause? An altercation with his mother over Gundam figurines.

His family’s two-story house burned to the ground.
Takabe has pleaded guilty, and has now admitted in court as his case has gotten underway that he set fire to his house out of anger.
“Plastic figures of Gundam are like my life partners,” he told the court. “I thought I would rather burn to death with them than have them thrown away.”
M’okay.
