==Nakamura ☆ Challenge: Metroid Dread==
This episode was uploaded on October 7, 2021, one day before the global release of Metroid Dread. Nakamura was challenged to defeat Corpius in under an hour. Presumably for spoiler reasons, the introduction fight scene with Raven Beak was shortened, and later sections of gameplay are edited for brevity. The video has narrated tutorials for the controls, Map, Melee Counter and E.M.M.I., overlaid on top of or highlighting the in-game instructions in some cases. Curiously, the Suit Voice and ADAM speak English despite Nakamura playing Dread in Japanese.
After obtaining the Omega Cannon, Nakamura had trouble charging it and was killed by E.M.M.I.-01P. He destroyed the E.M.M.I. on the next attempt. Nakamura was surprised that E.M.M.I.-02SM does not move in its first encounter until the "Breakable Organic Block" in the room is destroyed. At one point, Masahiro Sakurai is mentioned. Nakamura was frustrated at not being able to collect the "arbitrary Enky room's" Missile Tank without the Morph Ball.
Exploring the Artaria E.M.M.I. Zone, Nakamura was able to counter E.M.M.I.-02SM and escape. He was detected by it again, but avoided capture. He later returns to the Enky room and notes Samus's animation where she touches the top of a Morph Ball passage when she does not have the item. Nakamura began the first Central Unit fight by Dash Meleeing Rinkas before striking the unit itself. A triumphant, short melody plays after the Central Unit's defeat and before destroying 02SM, which is not heard in Dread. He was killed by 02SM, but defeated it on the next try.
Reaching Corpius, Nakamura had trouble destroying the Gobbler guarding it. The Corpius cutscene is shortened. Nakamura died twice during the battle, and killed the boss on the third attempt. His final time was 1:03:01, failing the challenge ("Mission Fail" appears on-screen, with Fail being in Japanese 失敗). As the episode ends, Nakamura shares his feelings about Dread.
