Why do you think Captain Rainbow bombed?

We are talking about first day sales here, of a game that's propably not supposed to sell in big numbers. Only time will tell how this game performs.

But there is atleast one thing in the game, that usually don't sell in Japan, such as the main character being an ex-superhero (in Japan, anime characters that are considered as weak, sell a lot better).

And on top of that, the title haven't had marketing, the genre is what you could call niche these days (even SMG and TP underperfomed in Japan) and it's a new IP.

As for the games story, i think it has similarities with X-men comics, since all the characters seem to be problematic with their past, just like Nick(?)/Captain Rainbow apparently is.

Lolz.

A game that's not supposed to sell big numbers?  How does that work then?

If it's not supposed to sell big numbers, it looks like this game is going to be a roaring success!!!

Also, the game has had marketing. 

It is advertised in Famitsu (at the very least) and it is advertised on TV too.
