@stupidichigo99 blufflop top has a point, the world has hidden the horrors the japanese perpetrated against the people of Vietnam, China, Philippines, Korean, Indonesia. They were the nazi's of the east massacring millions of innocent people and preforming human experimentation.

However, one should not be punished for the sins of the father....

@blufflop Ahh, the old "let's hate the 'Japs' for being a group of people raised with different moral standards". I'll have you know my grandpa fought in WW2, and saw firsthand how katanas could chop the end of a gun barrel off, much less an arm. Do you hear him spouting the same bullshit you are now? Hell no. Next time, try thinking about what the final consequences of the war was, and what tolerance the US vets show instead of making yourself look like an uneducated, hateful brat.

@blufflop And America blew up innocent citizens in Hiroshima and Nagasaki with atomic bombs...

Anyways, that's besides the point, this is to UNIFY the two countries by sharing culture.

And there's no king anymore retard--in fact there never was, they had an emperor though. Kings and monarchs are from Europe.

Japan's not the imperialist state they used to be, they're MUCH better now.

it hurts my feeling so much when i see this jap sword crap... those japs use that sword to decapitate ppl during world war 2, the jap king should get executed
