Doc Brown's 2015 Red Chinese Shirt

Indy, I have now time for your to identify the rest of the words. It's a word with a "insect" particle that I can see, but the left part is obscured by the orchid.
 
That's definitely very close:

I'm not sure about the horizontal stroke in the upper left part of the character. If you remove that and change the bottom left part to something else... is there any word close?

If not, I guess I'll just go with that character... I'm sure most people wouldn't be too worried about it.
 
Just found another image of this character on the shirt:

So, it looks like the horizontal stroke IS there... the bottom left looks a bit different but, at this point, I think this is definitely close enough (if not the right character, which is might very well be).

Thanks,
Indy
 
Ok, I had to improvise on some fonts to get them right in style, I couldn't type all into Inkscape, but I went to a detour using the chinese seal generator online to get the right look. I also found these words:
pure, clean, simple "純", the top right stroke was hidden by the orchid.
there I had the hunch, that it was "love" again only in seal script, somehow I couldn't type it in and the font wasn't correctly displayed in seal, so the detour via seal generator.
these were also generated and vectorized back to get the style correct.

Are there any words left?

EDIT:
Damn! I missed 2 or 3 words - you'll get new mail Indy



I hope it's the only one I miss… it's the same word

I found the final character, while checking and rechecking the words completeness on the shirt, it's again fire in another style slightly hidden at the side of Doc Brown's shirt.



Concering the second black seal: I've combed Youtube for a 1080p source of the commercial, where there's one scene where the seal is very well captured on the collar of Doc, and I will first give google image a shot, otherwise I'll vectorize it and make a perspective correction. I will not search anymore for the seal, I really searched hours and hours for it without any fruitful results.
 
sorry to barge in on your guys thread, but the black seal you guys are looking at... is that not whats called a "chop" a stamped signature if you will? sorry if this was addressed already, just trying to help. if it is just a signature than the translation could be any number of things depending on the authors location in china and the time period in which it was used, once again sorry if im repeating someone hope you all figure it out, very cool project by the way!
 
We know that already, to be exact it's a studio signature stamp, but what time periode, I'm lost, since I'm no expert on this. Try the database yourself, you'll get crazy and maybe not so worth the effort… Indy Magnoli: How is it going?
