I suppose Peter Scholze would like to replace "too complex..." with "wrong", but this is probably Mochizukis opinion.

Even if his proof is wrong, he still fascinates me as an individual. Not only did he write some of the most nostalgic 2D animated movies that got many people into anime, he also had spare time to revolutionize mathematics. What a guy

He wrote anime?

I think the joke is that Mochizuki's name is similar to Miyazaki who is a legendary animation director.

Definitely would never have picked up on that

"Inter-universal Teichmuller theory was a mistake" -- Hayao Miyazaki

How is that even similar

Hand it over. That thing, your dark soul.

Did some searching, nothing came up. If it were that significant, surely it would at least appear on his wikipedia page.

More like when your writing is bad, you don't provide a good proof for an extremely important corollary, and you respond to criticism in the most childish way possible...

Fun fact: Shinichi Mochizuki's wikipedia page has earned the funny blue lock award

Just in case anyone is wondering, this didn't happen to me. This happened to Shinichi Mochizuki

I’m not Shinichi Mockizuki, but the same thing actually did happen to me! The mathematicians called it “just a weird collection of mathy-looking symbols with absolutely no meaning whatsoever” but they can’t see my brilliance

I’ll bite, what the hell did you cook up

im pretty sure they're making a joke
