Poor Ika Musume has found herself co-opted into helping a creepy child predator in his efforts to invade a tender young schoolgirl, prompting police to issue a warning.
The incident reportedly occurred on Christmas day in Okinawa, when a man approached a girl in her 4th year of elementary school as she waited for her parents outside a shop.
He then quizzed her on which school she attended and showed her a picture of Ika Musume he had about his person, asking if she knew the lovable Cephalopoda invader and, if so, whether she would accompany him back to his house.
She declined, but he reached for her arm, at which point she batted his hand away and sounded her anti-crime buzzer. He promptly fled, leaving her unharmed.
The culprit was described as being plump and in his thirties or forties, and carrying an Ika Musume plastic file. After making off he was not seen again.
Police advise children to be sure they are familiar with “Ika no Osushi,” and to avoid the dark places of the world and the dangers of solitude.
Knowledgable Ika fans have been quick to explain there is actually a child safety mnemonic known as “Ika no Osushi” (“squid sushi”):
Ikanai: Don’t go (with strangers)
Noranai: Don’t ride (in a stranger’s car)
Oogoe: Shout in a big voice
Sugu: Run away fast
Shiraseru: If something happens, tell someone soon
There is, of course, an Ika Musume version:
True cephalopodaphiles laugh at this ham-fisted attempt at child predation:
“What have you lot been doing!”
“You guys again…”
“This smells fishy.”
“How is a 4th year elementary schooler going to know about late night anime you moron!”
“Or read Champion…”
“Ika no Osushi? What?”
“I’d think Cure Peace would be more effective.”
“They ought to fingerprint all these anime otaku!”
“Do they even broadcast this show in Okinawa?”
“He was actually a US soldier!”
“Ika-chan would actually make a pretty good anti-crime mascot.”
“The poor creator!”
“Her invasion continues apace…”
It was on Christmas.
even though they don’t really celebrate Christmas some do and some just get Cake etc.
maybe the Parents wanted to Surprise the Kid with something
An actual crime in Japan! This is really unusual!
Let’s hope they don’t start making guns legal like in ‘Murica.
Oh great, now that formerly-useful tropes site is going to delete its Squid Girl entries on the grounds that it’s a pedophile grooming tool or some bullshit like that.
> as she waited for her parents outside a shop.
Hu? Is that norm in Japan to leave children alone in a street?
Why would you compare a 3D child to a 2D ikumasume? You got to be squiding me!
I guess he was a cephalopedophile
I swear most criminals are fucking stupid, can’t even kidnap a child properly, what does that say about you. It’s a good thing I guess but I wish people were more intelligent and less prone to crime.
Parents of the child should be beaten with a suitably large slipper IMO.
For once Japanese cop issue a correct criminal hunting..
Sure take them a lot of time to do the right thing.
Where do you find a down-and-out octopus?
On squid-row !
This joke is terrible and you should feel bad for making this joke.
You should feel terrible for calling out the painfully obvious. Also this joke’s so bad that it’s good.
“The culprit was described as being plump”
so much for all your claims of there only being slim people in japan, weeaboo filth.
2ch user is right. Pretty Cure would be more effective in grabbing lolis.
Dismissive of the value of novelty then?
Hey, little girl! I don’t have candy, but I’ve got some squid! Wanna come to my house for some…squid!?
does it spit white liquid?
white, salty ink, obviously.
Oh child abductor, you make Ika Musume sad 🙁
You Gotta be Squidding Me that little girl is safe from that predator
Anti-crime buzzer must be some inkredible device
イカれている だろう。あこぎなまねは イカない とおもう。
I th-ink I’m done here.
Buzzer was the multi-purpose tentacle Space model, squidy..
It projects images of anal rape Directly into the predator’s brain ….
And squirts Ink
i sea what you squid there
“To Catch a Predator” should make an anima otaku special. I want to see this go down.
Well, an otaku adopting a loli at least there’s a chance that they only want them to cosplay as anime character and make them their “imouto”…if it was teacher/police officer pedo on the other hand, there’s only ONE THING they would want from the lolis…which definitely involve touching and “entering”…
I really want an anti-crime buzzer.. That would save me.. screw Police.. anti-crime buzzer to the rescue.
I’m surprised that even worked in the US a criminal probably would just take it and smash it in one fluid movement.
…it’s called a whistle. -__- i’m sure you could find one.
Not the same thing. A buzzer runs on batteries, you pleb.
anti-crime buzzer the new novelty toy by namco Buzzzzz
Get a dog whistle. And a dog. Extra security.
“This smells fishy.”
Is there really a Japanese equivalent of that pun?
usan-kusai 胡散臭い
is the equivalent to “this smells fishy”
My guess, that would be the phrase ‘Ika Kusai’ (This smells squiddy’. The pun to match ‘Ikamusume’ (Squid-girl)

Another scholar on japanese language…
What fucking parent leaves their child outside a store alone? I know Japan is safer than like 90% of the world but even this is retarded.
I thought Japan was a safe society, that level of paranoia should only be needed in dangerous ‘hoods.
in the uk kids are left outside of shops all the time so that part of the story doesn’t surprise me
That’s pretty common… latchkey kids, in Japan.
We are talking about a 4th grader, not a toddler. Kids that age are smart enough to be left alone in relatively safe areas such us in front of large stores. You just need to teach them to be suspicious of random strangers.
Only a completely incompetent would-be kidnapper would try something under such circumstances.
The question is not what kind of parent would leave them outside, its what kind of store were the parents going into with their daughter that they couldnt take their daughter inside such stablishment….
Think of Hayate, but also remember some shops don’t admit people with soiling street food she might just be eating. She could also be guarding stuff bought elsewhere, if it was a self-service supermarket or something similar.
either you dont haver kids, or you never were a kid.
Otherwise you would know TONS of places that kids usually dont like to go to.
For me back then it was usually the Barber-Shop.
The kid might have decided to leave the store on her own, for a minute
Or maybe, just maybe, the kid wanted to stay outside. I remember hating going into clothing shops when I was a kid.
It’s pretty common to see elementary school students shopping on their own here, but then this kind of thing is actually exceedingly rare. That said, the kids are smarter than kids in the west and won’t mess with strangers, and are in good enough shape to outrun most of them as well.
Not for schoolgirls
It’s an adult store silly.
Yup its an adult store I checked
“Then one should have waited outside with her”
Yeah let the other choose the kinky stuff XD
Then one should have waited outside with her or they should have left her at home.
Seriously this is some of the worst parenting I’ve seen.
In any case, they should have taken her in, at least it would have educational value!
The buzzer was actually a vibrator…
Buzzzzz Intergalactic Squid Light saber .. Activate
Safer except for little schoolgirls
Agreed you take the kid in with you as leaving a kid outside a store is just asking for an abduction.
…it could be her family store and she’s just waiting for her parents to close up so they could go somewhere together.
many reason why she could be standing outside. -__-
looks like no ink was wasted in this abduction attempt
This sounds fishy .. squidy
Tentacles! What the squid was he thinking!?
Tentacles? I like the way he was thinking… except for the whole kidnapping part anyway.
yay
As he slinks back to his anime-festooned lair in the back of his parent’s house, he has but one thought, “I was just outwitted by a little girl.”.
So this does seal it at last. Japan is full of perverts and child molesters and only 1 percent get caught every year? Look at those visual novels, just look open youre eyes and look.
The western xenophopbes are out to play. Repeat the same message again and again and some fools will believe it.
Those fucking US barbarians again.
I think anime made him retarded so we need to kill anime and all people with it.
That means all here must die!
So go to hell and die shit heads!
I watch Anime for there Amazing sound track and plot developments.. Lolz
right one idiot should make all innocent anime watchers suffer right?
you are including yourself right?
starting with you anon 13:14.
