Ika odori don (Dancing squid bowl)

[IDrinkNukaCola]

Cthulhu! I thought youd be bigger?

[electriquechair]

I'm vegan so I would never eat this, but this is very interesting and I'd love to see it in person.

[MeganDanger517]

@electriquechair why do vegans always feel like notifying everyone they are vegan?

[zooztation]

You must think of the soy sauce as jolting the squid's tentacles with very small amounts of electricity. The energy lies within ions contained in the sauce's high sodium content. These ions are used in cells to create voltage differences. Because the squid is served fresh, the cells inside are still active and when the sodium is applied, the signals across the nerve cell membranes are temporarily reactivated causing the squid to "dance."

[himynameiseleanor]

Awww, this is so mean! :(

[BlondeRooster90]

@himynameiseleanor Don't worry! It's already dead, so I assume there was no harm done to it while filming.

[ErinRobTheNobLickaaa]

Ew what r those orange things

[kimkishineegirl]

@ErinRobTheNobLickaaa Those are fish eggs...I forgot what type. I love how you're grossed out by the eggs lmao.

[SuperRetrodude]

@larkulunaseas I'm white, and I find this rather interesting, actually.

[bananabreadblonde]

... it looks like its being tortured... to me at leas

[agaystory]

squids dont feel ache/

[danitonfen13]

...it's not so much disgusting...but kinda creepy...@.@

[flaviavi52]

its 1)dead

its 2)soi sauce makes the neurons react.

its 3)disgusting/cruel, i eat sea food but this is just too much. -.-

[xxpensxipodsxx]

It is disgusting.. the squid is still alive. Imagine slicing a human's head off and pouring salty fluids into the wounds and watching it squirm for fun.

[unityd3v]

@xxpensxipodsxx The squid is dead. All that's happening is that the soy sauce is activating it's neurons.

[jardini0]

this is sick...idk how to even explain why it just is.

[JessaLoxia]

Why would you even want this to happen.

[lovemeordie83]

Look at the little squid stretching

It's like "*yawn* Go away, five more minutes -.- "

[10KLaura]

Wow, appetizing. You don't see pizza dancing.

[DarkPhoenixMishima]

It's like the Tin Man from Oz.

You need a little oil/sauce to get him moving.

[tomtomsgirl1993]

I know that looks weird but, can you get this in the states? i would love to try this! I looks yummy!

[sirjoyebut]

Disgusting, even if the animal is dead.

[d4v1dnguy3n]

Octopus live in salt water. Soy sauce is essentially salt water. Why the hell would pouring soy sauce cause pain? Sodium ions set up a galvanic cell within the tentacles and cause movement, similar to how Galvani made frog legs move. Dumb fucks.

[chewmybacca1]

@d4v1dnguy3n first of all, that was a squid

[lamborgini85]

Вот, если бы я увидела такое в тарелке - есть не стала бы. Однозначно!

[clubpenguinsux1]

Did you film this in an airport?

[bigtyo14]

so that's how it looks like if a squid got a boner....

[TheMadison011]

Neeeeemmmmmmooooooooo

[arloyola]

you could make a dish with your brain and we can see if it moves with lemon :D

[richkawaiipikachu]

@ExtremeDeathman It's actually freshly dead

[fhoplist]

Sci-fi alien food to me

[LianellEsorrasilome]

So... The key to zombies is Soy Sauce? Or are squid neurons different?

...How the heck are dead neurons still able to fire anyways?

[nicole3ds]

squid : aaaaaaawwwwwww its burns oh no WTF HES PUTTING ME WITH SOY SAUCE AAAAAWWWWWWWW

[Uouttooo]

Not appetizing at all!

[veilsidenissan350z]

@dizekat sorry I meant to write soya sauce

[veilsidenissan350z]

@dizekat the brain function is completely gone but the tissue is still alive the sodium chloride in the sits sauce stimulates the tissue making it move

[starace99]

The dead squid dancing really was creepy.....woah....yuck..!!!

[blarnzz]

omggg! How can anyone eat that thing

[dizekat]

if it has neurons that can activate, its not dead enough.

[InwTroll]

om nom nom nom it's not that bad

[Mynnia]

What's the definition of dead?

[adamchou]

@Mynnia if you really don't know the definition of dead, you need some serious help

[Mynnia]

@adamchou I posed a question, which called for an answer and I did it on purpose, to gather answers from other people. If you could answer, why do you instead choose to attack the asker? I mean, you'd be better than doctors and biologists today are, so out with your *sensible* answer.

[adamchou]

@Mynnia my apologies then. the way you posed the question seemed as if it was out of ignorance, almost. now to address your question, my definition is when neural function has ceased to exist. that, i'm fairly certain, is also the medical definition

[thedrunkleeeeeeeeeee]

It's an octopus. Quit playing with your food.

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Dead Squid Can Dance

[IfritEngen]

Soya sauce = ressurection potion

[nique302]

@IfritEngen lmfao

[soulstudiosmusic]

@StaticTrafficMusic I'm sorry that you can't read. Look where they've cut the head off - above the brain.

[godzoso]

@soulstudiosmusic You truly are fucking idiot. Enough sad. Just shut up already, you don't know anything about this.

[ABBBBII1]

Try to put the squid on a bowl with soya sauce :)

[kryptic125]

"poisen... poisen... TASTY FISH"

[TheJugernaut27]

I used to teach biology lab to college students and dissected many many squid. They do have a brain, and from the image, the brain is actually still intact. That’s no zombie squid. The mantle and viscera were removed and it still has a functioning eyes and brain

[avaspongeriffic]

TUMBLR HAS FOUND YOU

[gusieo]

omg LOL you guys. the squid is dead. the soy sauce is just making their neurons activate. it can't feel pain because it's dead. get it? if not, let's just say that when something dies, everything in it dies including the brain, including humans.

[larukulunaseas]

White people response: "OMG ITS DISGUSTING HUURRR DURRR"

[LudwigNyman]

@larukulunaseas I'm white and i think it's a hoot. And you probably regret writing that, because of all the "i'm white and..." comments on your post.

[terapollo34]

@larukulunaseas it's a dead squid dancing in a shower of soy sauce it is in itself disgusting

[migueldematus]

@larukulunaseas lol

so you have to be asian to like it?

that's so not racist

and by the way IT'S FUCKING GROSS AND EVEN A LITTLE CRUEL.

[migueldematus]

@migueldematus although i recognize the gastronomic value of the dish

[tommyscarz]

@larukulunaseas fuck you chinkface

[larukulunaseas]

@tommyscarz lol, sensitive?

[tommyscarz]

@larukulunaseas yo, not that it really matters, but i was reallyy drunk when i posted that lmao sorry. something about "hurr durr" rubs me the wrong way

[larukulunaseas]

@tommyscarz lol, idiot. hurr durr

[tommyscarz]

@larukulunaseas God bless you and I love you.

[larukulunaseas]

@tommyscarz There is no "god" in this universe. If there is, it is not welcome.

[tommyscarz]

@larukulunaseas That's a pretty bold statement. I"m glad you've figured it out.

[ieatmidget]

@larukulunaseas White people are right.

[alihammadshah]

fuck is that, not edible at all. Throw it in the bin

[MiHiVidz]

You'd think that they'd de-beak the little monster first.

[TezzyDarling]

This feels so wrong only because we associate movement with life, but the science is impeccable.

[soulstudiosmusic]

Given that Squids are the most intelligent of all invertebrates, and that tests on insects and invertebrates have shown that they do experience pain - pain being the mechanism by which an animal knows what to avoid, and suffers if they don't - given that the brain is behind the eye - given that all the internal organs are above the eye - what they've done is disembowelled it, kept it conscious then poured (to a squid) liquid acid on the wounds, causing it incredible pain. I say it's very sick.

[1hutchcat]

What is it with some people in the far east? This perversity we've just witnessed, the article not too long ago showing giggling Chinese diners eating a fish that had been cooked so as to keep alive for serving, and worst of all Koreans hanging and torturing dogs slowly to death so the meat is "more fragrant". If they act like this, they are vermin rather than human. These thought processes are psychopathic and their thinkers need terminated for recycling (liquidise, spray into ocean for fish)

[Narnia1963]

@1hutchcat Hating Asians much? Americans electrocute cows and slice them up before they're fully dead. They also crush pigs alive.

[ZalethX]

@1hutchcat

.... The squid is dead, its just raw. Gdi, do some research.

[Laraischibi]

@1hutchcat Have you seen/ do you know in what conditions chicken live in? Do you know how badly pigs and cows are treated? You think people in the far east are "vermin", but aren't people in the west as bad? stuffing their faces, not caring about how the animal has lived it's life. You eat a cow, a hindu will see you as barbaric since the cow is seen as a God.

[proberush]

26 people have revealed the depressing inferiority of their intelligence.

[yunakayama]

im a japanese, and i didnt know there is such local tradition. i dont feel like i wanna try it out, although im not gonna say these people are doing something wrong. theyre eating dead squids. how ever it looks like in this video, the squid is not alive. its got NO brain.

[rashaholic]

the squid is dead but not cooked?

[badaura]

@rashaholic The Japanese don't mind non-cooked : D

[jmpatinhas15]

i would eat it

yummy looking

[CFXTBogard]

I will throw sodium on the corpse of hitler.... dance puppet, dance!!!

[LolComment44]

Stop Japanese tradition is cruel.

[Urunay]

@LolComment44 it's dead

[coyel]

@LolComment44 it's dead

[coyel]

@LolComment44 trust me it's dead

[coyel]

@LolComment44 i'm not even messing, it's definitely dead

[ZalethX]

@LolComment44

It's dead.

[hellograceanne]

0:21 OH POOR CRUEL WORLD !!!

[HighLiteOfTheNight]

........ What the.....

[100nujabes]

I don't understand how this is cruel. It's dead. It's just the soy sauce that makes the nerves jump. Plus, this is some people tradition. To eat stuff raw and fresh. Because when it's like that, it's quality is at it's peak. So people aren't gonna stop doing this even though some weak-stomached PETA people think it's gross and inhumane. SMH

[n33oh]

@100nujabes It amazes how closed minded, ignorant and racist those PETA people are! There are dishes in Western culture that are strange to others, like eating bull's balls. But, hey, the reality is 6-7 billion people on this planet and raising beef is the costliest way to raise protein, so I'm all for eating sushi! It's more green than eating beef in terms of raising the food and cooking it (since sushi is raw).

[Kayleexoxo12]

It may be dead, but it's still sad to watch :/

[roversfan]

@Kayleexoxo12 Why??

[uliuli08]

are you eating fish eggs?

[jaydj]

What if you ate the squid first then poured soy sauce in your mouth ? eeeeewwwwww!!!!

[Nephatrine]

@ReplayedTV It sure creeps me the hell out.

[MrSucitivel]

"far more interesting than a slab of dead cow"

uhm... on what grounds, i get pretty interested and excited at a nice kobe filet.

[onconstant]

@MrSucitivel YUP! At least beef tastes good without having to make it dance for you first with salty nasty soy sauce. I'll take a bloody slab of "dead cow" over this any day. The significantly better flavor is "for more interesting than a dancing dead squid".

[Rosak]

@onconstant ever tasted squid? I quite like that stuff. When it's fresh it's just as good as a slab of dead cow :P Don't be so limited in your choices!

[onconstant]

@Rosak yes. I love squid. but i will take good steak over it any day.

[Rosak]

@onconstant fair enough, so would I ;P

[grml4zio]

Actually, it was beheaded immediately before serving. It is only *just* dead.

[pammenjk36]

I want to eat something alive.

[StopFlaggingVideos]

how the fuck can you people think its alive? are you shitting me? how stupidly uneducated do you have to be to open your mouth and say something that stupid?

[wordhurler]

@StopFlaggingVideos "Open your mouth"? What, is everybody using speech recognition software to make YouTube comments?

[Corza334]

@wordhurler Lame

[wordhurler]

@Corza334 Brilliant.

[StopFlaggingVideos]

@wordhurler you, i, and everyone else already know what i mean by this. nothing to nitpick

[yukiysnow]

I am Japanese, I think this is cruel.

[Shwaggetyshfifty]

@yukiysnow I'm 12 years old, and you're trolling

[KoedyB]

@yukiysnow how is that cruel?

[vetm0de]

This thing is DEAD you idiots.

[thienhahuxinxam]

@vetm0de yup !! It was dead, but why they have to do that ? Just because it looks special or interested ?

[Oukita]

Cruel people

[namduong8889]

you son of the bitch !!!

[nghidaubac]

quá độc ác, quá tàn nhẫn, một món ăn "bệnh hoạn" ...

[lilmateo91690]

it pooped...

[Caramellofellow]

The squid is dead. The sodium in the soy sauce causes the neurons to fire, making the muscles twitch. Hence the 'dancing.' It's not inhumane or cruel. Not my cup of tea, but far more interesting than a slab of dead cow.

[thienhahuxinxam]

@Caramellofellow Iit looks like they maltreat that squid, even it was dead. I agree with you that it is more interesting and creative for the shusi, but for some people they cant eat that kid of food when it's still moving. Just my opinion !!!

[sega31098]

@Caramellofellow

Not sure about this. The brain is in the lower part of the squid, but I'm not sure if it's actually dead.

[Kairi767]

@sega31098

It is. It's a popular asian dish and most asians can tell you that it is, yes in fact, dead. -_-

There is a fish that 'dances' as well, but with the use of another sauce.

[mocchan1ban]

裏ビデオｗｗ

[mynewid666]

should call it dying squid bowl. sickening.

[sega31098]

LOL in delight..
