A Japanese man has pleaded guilty to burning down his family’s home after his mother threw away some of his toy robots.

Yoshifumi Takabe told Kobe District Court in western Japan that he became suicidal after losing the toys, which he says were partners with which he wanted to spend his life, ABC News reports.

In retaliation, Yoshifumi, a factory worker who lived with his mother, torched the home because he wanted to die in the fire with his other robots from the Gundam 1970s space wars animated TV series.

The 30-year-old’s mother told the court that she had long complained about the toys that were cluttering the house. She said there were enough to fill 300 boxes.

The blaze on Aug. 9 of last year completely destroyed their two-story wooden house. No one was injured.
