We had this topic a few months ago with the same video.
Unfortunately I can't find that topic right now.

A 100A fuse should be able to carry 100A for a infinite time, it should not blow at 100A.
I guess he first fuse and that breaker tested in that video will also blow at 90A or less if that current runs for a while and ambient temperature is a bit higher.
The guy in the video is rising the current to fast, he should go up in 5A steps and let it run for 5-10 minutes.
It is also written in some comments below that video.
