The power of "Ulong Police Station"! The protagonist of the comic once accurately predicted PS5 and e-sports

The classic masterpiece "Kamikaze Police Station", which was once announced to be completed in a high-profile manner and had just been replaced by "Golgo 13" as the world's longest-running comic, has recently returned with a new short story. Today, some media have dug up some interesting anecdotes about this legendary masterpiece. In its long serialization history, it has predicted many successful things in the future, including PS5 and e-sports.

1. The release of PS5.

As we all know, PS5 will be released in 2020. In fact, as early as Volume 149 of "Kochikame" in 2006, the protagonist Ryotsu mentioned that the PS2 at that time would be upgraded to PS5 in 10 years. Although the time was different, it did predict the existence of PS5.

2. Predicted the large-scale diversified entertainment development of hot springs.

In the comics, Ryotsu was asked for help on how to save the Matsunoyu Onsen which was on the verge of bankruptcy. Ryotsu then provided suggestions on improving the hot spring by developing it into a large-scale diversified entertainment complex. Then after 2000, Japan saw the emergence of the so-called Super Sento hot spring resort which offers a variety of entertainment such as food, games, and massage.

3. The civilian sale of electricity.

In 2016, Japan reformed its electricity operation and allowed private enterprises to produce and sell electricity. In fact, in the 72nd volume of "Ulong Police Station" in 1991, Ryotsu generated his own electricity because he was dissatisfied with the expensive electricity bills in the dormitory. After his success, he secretly negotiated with the power company and made a lot of extra money. He can be said to be the most advanced electricity sales dealer.

4. Predicted e-sports.

As early as 1983, when Nintendo's first-generation game console, the Famicom, had just been released and had not yet become popular, let alone things like computer online games, Ryotsu in "Kochikame" had set his ambition to become a professional gamer in the future. He can be said to be the first prehistoric e-sports player.
