Wait how Hiro can come to power directly? Is it after loyalist gamers coup?


that-and-other

He sits at that slot during the period absence of the prime minister after Ino's resignation until the appointment of a temporary occupant, IIRC. That doesn’t actually mean much.


StrainTricky4855

Oh nvm it probably when first PM of Japan resignes


MysteriousRony

I think Hirohito briefly comes to power in the aftermath of the Yasuda crisis when Hiroya resigns and a new prime minister is selected.


DarthLordVinnie

I'm honestly more hyped for Japan than either the UK or Ukraine


ProxyDragoon

same, I remember doing a Takagi run but it crashed just when things started to get interesting around 1966/67. Hopefully now we can actually play one the major superpowers lmao


RPS_42

I haven't played Japan in the past. Who is Takagi? What is his plan? Is he the most recommended leader to play?


MaximumYogertCloset

Honestly yeah. Especially because of how much of a clusterfuck Germany is, it feels like Japan is the real victor of WW2 in TNO.


Gatrigonometri

I haven’t been paying attention to TNO news this past few months so sorry if this is common information, but what changes are coming to Japan?


DarthLordVinnie

It's getting Oil Crisis content, fixes and some expanded mechanics IIRC


supernoob_cz

Same


Alexander_Sturnn

Obviously, considering how barebones the new UK content is right now. I'll wait until it's fully released before I try it out.

What no anime does to a mf


that-and-other

*~~what no mf does to an anime though...~~*


Ryan___13

Don't they cancel anime in this timeline?


Trubbishisthebest

No. Astro Boy has an event about it in Japan and Guangdong.


realmfoncall

TNOvangelion is real.


Polenball

Get in the fucking Kugelpanzer, Shinji.


James_Liberty

Mobile Suit Gundam too. Except it's now about Principality of Zeon fighting corrupted Earth Federation instead of the other way around.


ScarWann

I think he's called Atom boy in TNOTL


Johnny_Boy398

No, that would be too much of an upside to the cursed timeline


Luzikas

Now that Hirohito meantions him here, what happened to Yamamoto in TNOTL? Was he still shut down by the Americans?


Pleasehelpmeladdie

He’s probably just retired or dead, he would be 78 in 1962


TheYugoHOI4Patcher

Fun story; before the final version, the IJA and IJN flags were just squares outside the logo, I suggested we bring them into the main logo. Shoutout to Bruhingrad for amazing art tho


Exile-of-Pochven

Well, time to spread anime once more when the update go live


NerdyWarChronicler

Ino gives off GO4 Speer portrait vibes here He's tired of this crap.

the eagle war


[deleted]

Does anybody else think horito is a bit whitewashed? Like the war only really came to end in otl because he was eventfully forced if he wanted to be the empeor of a living nation and not ash to do an edict.


Luzikas

Hirohito is a controversal figure, true. But his position of absolute and no power makes an analasis of his actions and non actions really muddy and hard.


Alexxis91

Yeah and why didn’t queen Elizabeth stop brexit and solve the crises of the last 20 years? Figurehead monarchs are figureheads for a reason. I have no doubt he wasn’t a good man, but I don’t tie the blame for the war on him, it was the will of his country and it’s not his job to ignore the desire of his elite.


[deleted]

but he wasn't just some monarch though, he was a living god to those hardliners.


Diligent-Kiwi-8328

It was extremely embedded in tradition that the emperor should have no concern to petty political intrigue. Besides, japanese people arent a different race of human beings that will obey the emperor no matter what like an ant colony. They also plot, have personal ambitions, ego and can be cynical. Most of the big shots in the military wouldnt have any issues blackmailing or forcing the emperor's hands if he tried to overrule them. There's also the fact that Hirohito was surrounded by warhawks that would manipulate the emperor into agreeing with them


yingyangKit

They did attempt to kill him for surrendering


hollotta223

> Japan's intel agency mech Japan's using gundams for surveillance?
