In summary, a group in Japan called Kakuhido, which translates to the Revolutionary Alliance of Men that Women find Unattractive, plans to protest Valentine's Day in Tokyo's Shibuya district. They believe the holiday is a money-making conspiracy by "oppressive chocolate capitalists." The protest will last for an hour and a half and could potentially turn ugly. However, given Japan's reputation for plot twists, it's possible that the protest could end in a surprising and unexpected way.

Plot twist: They take off their helmets and protesting clothes, begin dance stripping and throwing flowers and chocolates all over the place for the ladies and gentlemen.

Don't ask me... Just saying. Japan is famous for plot twists in their shows. We can always expect a plot twist.
