Mystery Project Teases Return of Man Amid Screws
The press release carries a copyright line reading AY / ETOOP, and the screws motif combined with "That man is coming back" has viewers guessing at a connection to older works, all to be resolved on September 10.

An anonymous X account released a teaser video showing screws raining down with the message "That man is coming back--." Two videos are live, with the second showing an illustration completed on the reverse of the date "2026.9.10." Details are scheduled for September 10, 2026, at 19:00. Hakuhodo DY Music & Pictures hosts the teaser on YouTube. Social media speculation points to works associated with screws, including "Medaka Box" and "EAT-MAN."
The copyright line attached to the press release reads AY / ETOOP, which social media users are treating as a lead rather than a formality. Speculation currently circles titles built on a screw motif, with "Medaka Box" and "EAT-MAN" named most often, though nothing in the teasers confirms either work.
The second video reportedly shows an illustration being finished on the reverse side of the date "2026.9.10," a format that suggests the reveal will pair a visual with the project's true identity. Hakuhodo DY Music & Pictures hosts both teasers on its YouTube channel, and the official X, Instagram, and TikTok accounts are already live under the handle OverOrder.
Until the September 10 broadcast, the project's name, medium, and staff remain undisclosed.
