- In response to the ongoing controversy surrounding the Denfamico interview, Tokyo M.A.A.D. SPIN released an official two page statement addressing the situation. Specifically, the statement addresses the improper translation of the English word "puritan" into the phrase "sex education" by X.com user Valute News, whose post brought international attention to the interview. Valute News would also issue an apology for the mistranslation before deactivating the account. An English translation of the statement was also announced, but has since been formally delayed.

- A round-table interview between Yuji Horii and Kazuhiko Torishima's radio program "Yubo & Mashirito 's Koso Koso", a division of radio station Tokyo M.A.A.D. SPIN, and Denfamico Gamer was held during the 2024 Tokyo Game Show. During this interview Yuji Horii expressed his irritation and disappointment with the Japanese CERO ratings board for demanding the censoring of the female Gadabout, female Warrior, and male Monster Wrangler's designs in order for the HD2D remake of III to be approved for an all-ages rating. Torishima would interject to point out that different nations have different age restriction criteria, singling out America and the UK for the strict narrow-mindedness of their ratings boards by calling the difficulties of doing business within such tight regulations to be ridiculous and frustrating. Torishima also stated that these absurd practices negatively impact Japan as well, to which Horii recalled that older games allowed players to choose between men and women for their characters, but the aforementioned ratings boards now censor the choice to "type 1 or type 2" under the guise of inclusivity. Horii further expressed his bafflement at this specific instance of foreign meddling, wondering what kind of person would even complain about the use of the words men and women in the first place.
- The interview became a viral sensation overnight on the social media platform X.com thanks to the user Valute News, exposing the foreign-mandated censorship beyond the video game industry news channels and receiving international coverage through the likes of Forbes magazine, which dubbed the censorship of the decades-old game for modern sensitivity to be stupid. Elon Musk, the owner of X.com, would negatively comment on the situation and spread awareness of Horii's exasperation to millions.
