@hellhound737 i KNOW that my country didn't kick JUST nazi ass in WW2; i didn't have reason to say or imply that they did, so...I DIDN'T! likewise, i ALSO KNOW that the Argo is the US name/version of Japanese Yamato; also likewise, i didn't have reason to say or imply that IT wasn't, so...again, likewise...I DIDN'T!

The Gamilons in Star Blazers DON'T bring to mind the Japanese. They DO bring to mind the Nazi Germans. EVEN DESSLOK'S NAME is obviously influenced by Germanic nomenclature!
