The Japanese language is filled with many wild and wonderful ways to pronounce numbers, which means lots of fake punny holidays (for example, five and nine can be pronounced “goku,” leading to May 9 becoming Goku Day).
Another example is today, October 8, which someone has creatively pronounced as “domu,” making today Dom Day. As such, Gundam fans have taken to Twitter, posting their favorite pictures of the old workhorse, Gundam’s MS-09B Dom.
Check out the #ドムの日 hashtag and prepare for a trip into the wild, creative and sometimes very stupid world of Japanese otaku Twitter. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
旦那が初めて作ったデカイものがドムで、置く場所無いからってアパートの玄関先に一カ月以上置かれて、デカイし狭いし近所の小学生が見にくるしで大変だったし当時はドムとザグの違いが分からなかった
