But during the stream, a chain of some really unusual incidents transpired. First, the game crashed. Of course, the fish was not able to tell that the game has crashed, so it kept on with its usual schtick. In the process, it somehow correctly entered a bunch of correct number sequences and used the YouTuber’s card to successfully add an amount of 500 Yen to his account.

And it also revealed all his credit card information to every single one of his viewers. And it kept on doing stuff like this till the YouTuber noticed and finally shut down his Nintendo Switch. He then called Nintendo of Japan for a refund.

But this is the first time that a sea creature has indulged in such mischief. Alas, we would never find out what the fish intended to purchase with that transaction.
