Did you even watch the video with subtitles enabled ...
they are clearly saying "nomuta" is different than "chiquita" in that its side under .. and he has spent over fifteen minutes explaining how he does that ... not to mention there is a huge red arrow pointing downward in the thumbnail .. lol !
0:35 or 1:07 pause video and use comma and dot to step through the frames: Contact is on the side of the ball. Not below. Now think about the ball's axis of rotation and direction. The axis is not parallel to the table but tilted and rotation is clockwise (same as pendulum serve) so when the receiver contacts the ball the ball will go to the right (of the receiver) and down.
4:35 that's what I said above: With penhold grip it's easier but contact is still on the left bottom side of the ball so sidespin with a tilted axis of rotation.
Around 5:50. What I said on page 1: it's easier to do when holding the racket more or less like serving a reverse pendulum serve.
13:36 and 13:44 side bottom contact = sidespin with tilted axis of rotation... if the axis of rotation is further rotated we will end up with backspin but then the ball's trajectory will not bend towards the receiver...
