Mother Burns Daughter’s Haunted Makima Figure

A crazy story surfaced on TikTok. About a week ago, an otaku posted a video with the caption: “My mom set my Makima figure on fire.” The video shows the small figure inside its box being burned.

Watch the shocking scene bellow. The video quickly went viral, and the creator explained what happened.

She says she bought a Makima figure at a Tamashii Nations store in New York City and initially loved it. However, after bringing it home, she started noticing strange occurrences, such as the figure appearing in different positions from where she had left it. She also began having frequent nightmares and felt that the figure was moving on its own.

According to her story, one night she woke up and saw the figure turned toward her, as if it were staring at her. After putting the figure inside a drawer, the nightmares continued. Later, she claims she saw a teddy bear keychain dragging itself across her desk before falling to the floor along with a backpack, convincing her that something unusual was happening.

She told her mother what had happened and decided to research the store where she bought the figure. She discovered that “Tamashii” means “soul” in Japanese and found information claiming the name could mean “spiritual tribe” or “spiritual group.”

She also mentions seeing a logo resembling a heart with little horns, but says she isn’t sure whether it has anything to do with the events. Finally, she clarifies that she does not believe anime is evil or connected to the devil, stating that any type of media can feature supernatural themes. She concludes by saying she simply wanted to share her experience and regrets the $32 she spent on the figure.

Want to know the funniest part? According to her reply to a comment, the owner of the figure is Brazilian. She said her family spread “holy oil” throughout the house and eventually moved away.

Either way, what do you think about this story?

In another post, Alice said she never intended for the story to go viral and that she didn’t even upload the video to her main account, but to an alternate account with fewer followers. She also asked people to stop sending her messages about the incident.

She added that she doesn’t mind if people don’t believe her story, saying that only she and her family know what really happened and that she doesn’t need more people accusing her of making up the haunting story.

One of my favorite comments was from someone saying the problem wasn’t the figure, but the house.

By the way, regarding Tamashii Nations, Tamashii Nations is simply a brand name. The word “Nations” was chosen to represent a community or “nation” of Bandai figure fans and collectors.

It does not literally mean “spiritual tribe” or “spiritual group.” However, the company’s logo is a heart with small horn-like shapes.
