The urban version of the Namahage classifies individuals either as "good" or "bad" adults based on their social media activities and recordings from networks of surveillance cameras. Namahage finds and identifies an adult classified as "bad" by using facial recognition. Akihabara is one of the identified "bad adults", he is lazy playing games all day, creepy on social media, and stalking people. Therefore the Namahage kidnaps Akihabara and hacks into his minds scaring and disciplining him into becoming a better citizens. When the contemporary Namahage hacks into Akihabaras mind he is shown VR footage of his "crimes", his childhood, and his promising beginnings. After Namahages disciplining treatment Akihabara transforms to a stable, successful and thankful citizen. The contemporary machine vision Namahage is created to protect the safety of the community.
