Why 1 Beloved Brainrot Character Vanished and Might Return Better and Stronger

Tung Tung Sahur, a fan-favorite character in Steal A Brainrot, was unexpectedly removed due to licensing disputes. Learn why it happened, what players lost, and whether he might return.

Tung Tung Sahur Removed from Steal a Brainrot: What Happened and Why it Matters

On September 13, 2025, players of Steal A Brainrot were stunned to discover that the beloved character Tung Tung Tung Sahur had been removed from the game without warning. Known for his distinctive wooden design and cultural roots in Indonesian Ramadhan traditions, Tung Tung was a rare yet accessible character, especially popular among beginners. His removal sparked confusion and disappointment across the community.

Players who had locked Tung Tung found him replaced by Gangster Footera, a character with identical traits and mutations. While this swap preserved gameplay balance, it did little to ease the frustration of fans who had grown attached to Tung Tung’s unique aesthetic and cultural significance.

The decision to remove Tung Tung was not made by his creator, Noxassht, but by Sammy, the developer of Steal a Brainrot. According to MEMENTUM LABS, the agency representing Noxaasht, the game had been using the character without proper licensing. The removal occurred during ongoing negotiations between Sammy and MEMENTUM LABS, suggesting that legal concerns-not creative ones-were at the heart of the decision.

Tung Tung wasn’t just a cosmetic favorite. He cost $3,000 in-game currency, generated $25 per second in income, and held a rare classification. His vertical wooden figure, wielding a bat, made him instantly recognizable, and his affordability made him a staple for newer players building their rosters. His absence leaves a noticeable gap in the game’s character lineup.

Will Tung Tung Return? Fans Launch “LET’S TUNG TUNG BACK!” Campaign

Despite the setback, hope remains. MEMENTUM LABS has expressed openness to further discussions and launched a community-driven campaign titled “LET’S TUNG TUNG BACK!” The initiative encourages fans to voice their support and advocate for the character’s return.

Whether Tung Tung will repair in Steal A Brainrot depends on the outcome of licensing negotiations. If Sammy’s team and MEMENTUM LABS can reach an agreement, players may once again see Tung Tung in their rosters. Until then, Gangster Footera stands in his place- a reminder of the complex intersection between creative content and intellectual property rights.

For fans, the campaign is more than nostalgia- it’s a call for transparency and respect for creators. As the gaming community rallies behind Tung Tung, his story becomes a case study in how licensing disputes can shape the digital worlds we love.
