One of the most well-known anime streaming services in Japan, Fuji TV, is home to the series for fans interested in following Yoo and his adventures on his NewTuber channel.

Meanwhile, Crunchyroll offers the episode for streaming for international viewers, but access requires a subscription.


Recap of the previous episode

The most recent episode focused heavily on Yoo trying to get his phone back from some people, at least when it came to the first fight. This plot was very important since it showed Yoo learning to fight from videos and understanding that the other person isn't a fighter either and that someone can overwhelm another one, to the point where the latter taps out of the fight.

Another major aspect of the episode was seeing the protagonist enjoying his newfound success with the NewTubu channel after he got paid, with Woo suggesting he should buy a couple of high-quality tracksuits for the next few videos. However, Yoo hesitates when noticing their price since, as someone who grew up in poverty, it is difficult to spend that much on clothes.

The bulk of the episode, however, was focused on the fact that Bomi asked Yoo out, and the latter agreed, which resulted in him having his first date. Despite being very excited about the idea, Yoo found it quite difficult to put a few words together and often gave her simple answers, resulting in a date that felt awkward.

Viral Hit episode 4 will likely focus on the next stage of Yoo's life as a NewTuber and trying to improve his social skills, especially when it comes to engaging with women. It is also highly probable that the episode will feature new characters who will fight, as well as other people who will be involved in the story as it progresses.
