tiny penis jap was cucked by big american wiener
Honestly bad writing yeah.
It's funny because nothing America can ever do will ever remove the embarrassment of this huge naval defeat, Japan won
Cope
To be fair they kinda left that as bait on purpose to get a full Casual Belli for war
I love this kind of cope, whenever america loses it's always some conspiracy about how they let it happen 😀 😀 😀 :D: D:
What do you mean lose? Japan Is still under American occupation.
>Casual Belli
>casual belli
rip private ambatukham
It's beautiful
that looks pretty dangerous
Yup, surprised nobody died to be honest
Pretty good CGI
And to think they probably just used a bunch of fully functional surplus fighters and threw a few stuntmen in the middle of these explosions, just for the lulz.
>huge naval defeat
every single ship but two were raised and sailed into Tokyo Bay. You poked the bear.
literally no american is embarrassed over pearl harbor wtf
american here, I am
No you're not
cope
No one will ever make a movie about the battle of the Phillipine Sea because it would be too boring watching japs get shot down non-stop for 2 hours before their carriers fart themselves to death
>Gets to save face and his family whe the war was clearly fricked beyond any degree of understanding making his rule seem nostalgic without much taboo

Best leader of the Axis pact.
Was that photo really taken to humiliate and emasculate the Japanese?
America does this all the shit, it's the only true "victory" they can achieve
SK and USA posts 6+ tall guys while all the Norks are obviously stunted from malnourishment. My god, do the Norks realize these are stunts or do they think outsiders are strange alien giants?
No, it was more to try and further deconstruct the pre-war/wartime Japanese culture, which worshipped Hirohito as a living god, had State Shintoism, etc. This picture made Hirohito the Man-God look more man than anything else. The transformation of Japan was top-down but also grassroots. A lot of the change came organically from the Japanese people once they no longer had to live in a police state, so a picture like this further helped consolidate the pyschological change occurring in a people that previously worshipped their Emperor as a deity. It also made MacArthur even more impressive in the eyes of the Japanese, cause of his size, his obvious seniority, etc. Some of the old diehards wanted the picture censored, and the Americans said 'no', which simply made them look even free speech and liberating. The Hirohito photo was a political stunt that MacArthur pulled off spectacularly.
>people complain about the use of nukes, but not this mogging
>Was that photo really taken to humiliate and emasculate the Japanese?
Not really, Japanese were just tiny at the time. They actually gained some height post occupation.
>His height is 1.69 m tall, and his weight is 62 kg.
Hirohito must have been a midget.
MacArthur was 183 (6'2), Hirohito was 165 (5'5). I'd imagine Hirohito was tall for a Jap back then.
The novelist Osamu Dazai (1909-1948) was 5'9. I just picked someone I was familiar with and looked them up.
Jisaburo Ozawa was 6'0, but it's all about averages. Average Japanese was shorter than average Murican. Probably a bunch of 5'4ers running up against a bunch of, on average, 5'9ers
I'm not saying that they were tall on average. The anon I responded to said 5'5 was on the tall end for that period, but the tall end was probably closer to someone like Dazai (which was obviously shorter than a tall American). Ozawa would have been abnormally tall.
Hirohito looks like a dignified chad, and mogs the fat burger peasant
the fat burger peasant glassed half your country kek
So he's a genocidal war criminal like Hitler?
Yes, the Japanese were so buckbroken by this one photo that they still see MacArthur as some sort of god
Why my homie McArthur’s pants so big though?
Because he was a fat frick, most of the generals in that time were.
>JAPAN would've ended up like Afghanistan if they kept fighting to the last man for several more years.
Good on you for answering your own question
What's that? Winning the war against America?

Planes depart for Kabul daily, ready to whisk you away to that austere mountain paradise. Unless of course you're just shitposting but surely that's not the case
the chances of my going to tokyo are equally slim, dumb goy
True, the cost of living in luxurious Tokyo is very high, so naturally you would never go anywhere near it. Now let's hear your excuse for not going to Kabul, fat boy
Kys, bugman.
Like MacArthur, I accept your concession
USA didn't need to "win" or even occupy them. They could have just blockaided the nation. Once you do stupid shit like Japan and Germany did where you invade all your neighbors you can't be trusted and you need to be put down like a rabid dog.
>put down like a rabid dog
America didn't punish the natzees
America hired actual ex-natzees especially from their intelligence division
Ex-natzees formed the core of West Germany
They punished the ones who weren't useful to them/didn't commit atrocities and that other parties (like aggreived west Euros and israelites in their fledgling Israeli) could stand to see life, like von Braun. But, also, the Americans honestly did not hate the Germans in the way they hated the Japanese. Better to be taken a POW by the Germans in western Europe in 1945 than in the Pacific by the Japanese.
America didn't punish the Japs either
All the Class A war criminals were let go without question after the San Francisco Treaty
Even at the behest of the British, Aussies, Chinks (gommies), Chinks (losers), the two Koreas and all the new Southeast Asian countries
The firebombing of Tokyo and Kyoto+ the nuking of Nagasaki and Hiroshima were the worst punishments a nation has ever received in human history
>All the Class A war criminals were let go without question after the San Francisco Treaty
pfft
why are people like this? lots of jap war criminals got executed
Jap war criminals were hired to work in the US government.
some were, yes
about 1000 class ABC war criminals got executed iirc
>Prosecutions of additional Japanese officials continued during and after the Tokyo Trial, with more than 2,200 trials held in 51 different locations against roughly 5,600 suspected war criminals.
Yep, only the underlings
It's documented fact, stop denying history.
Which ones got away scot free? I have a book on post war Japan but haven't gotten around to the section on the war crime trials yet. I only know of Tojo and this one army (or maybe navy) guy who really didn't deserve his execution cause he try to reel his men in but they were simply running amok and he wasn't complicit in their rampages
japan and germany are both collectivist bughive societies, killing/buckbreaking their chief bug made them obey americans just like they obeyed hirohito/hitler
soviets would've steamrolled them and turned them into commies, and judeo-bourgeois american dogs naturally couldnt let that happen
>they should let their enemies win um just because
It's always funny when you guys use arguments like this
Soviets didn't have the naval capacity to to anything to Japanese home islands and wouldn't for years
This flick is fricking moronic
>MacArthur appoints a known weeb to figure out how to punish postwar Jap war criminals
>Weeb general doesn't really care about punishing Nips, just wants his pre-war Jap puss gf
>Despite being defeated and conquered the Imperial family still has armed guards and burgers can't just access them
>you can tell that this flick was made for Jap audiences due to the historical revisionism and whataboutitis thrown towards the Americans at every conflict by their defeated Nip counterparts
It's banned in Japan though
what's with Cinemaphile and Cinemaphile tier anti-japan shit? is it because jap films are extraditionary bad or there are lots of diaspora asians here or both?
reddCinemaphile loves japan like the goodboy redditors they are stfu
>reddit loves japan
lol nope
japan is an easy target for white american liberals
any other stories that are real in your head?
Japan isn't 90% mountains so sitting in caves and raping goats until enemy goes away is not an option. Also in 1945 America could starve all japs and no one would care, in Afghanistan soldiers couldn't shoot a single goatfricker without 10 special permissions.
bruh japan is far far more mountainous than afghanistan you fricking moron. Also just making this thread off Cinemaphile or /k/ means 90% of posts here are fricking moronic. Japan had no idea how many nukes we had. There largest mass of troops was being slaughtered by soviets in china, while the entire country starved under blockade. O and the fire bombing, the fire bombing that made the nukes look not so bad. Japan had a zero percent chance to win.
>Mountains occupy over 70% of Japan's landmass.
>About 75% of Afghanistan's terrain is mountainous
Not even reading your post further, you braindead butthurt Black person
Because he knew that it was only a matter of time before Japan was occupied and that it was better to be occupied by America alone rather than have Japan split up between America and the USSR.
i wonder when will gaijins stop taking advantage of the result of ww2. probably not in my lifetime

Why does Japan respond to Yankees so well?
They are the yin to America's yang
America in the west
Japan in the east
Best friends forever
Rule the world baby
First one was more down to the Japs. They really put the work into becoming a world power. Second time around, I would guess (haven't studied that period too much yet) it involved the Americans cause they realised they needed a strong ally in the region once they realised the communists were never going to let up
The second time was the Marshall plan- forced globohomoization at gunpoint.
Oh no, not billions of dollars!
In exchange for permanent enemy military bases occupying their country. They also forced Japan to like baseball.
>forced
Japan liked baseball before WWII. Major league teams would do tours there.
Sad. I just lost respect for their culture.

The phonetic parallel script allows for neologisms and foreign loan word adaptation, unlike Mandarin et. al. Then the Buddhist metaphysical strain. They're a combination of Switzerland and UK geographically ... mostly a century head start uninterrupted of "oh god oh frick we need to industrialize or be some round eye's satrap colonial b***h." Having relatively advanced steel production/metallurgy in general didn't hurt either, on top of whatever exotic bullshit tech the Germans were shunting over in cargo submarine trips.
>The phonetic parallel script allows for neologisms and foreign loan word adaptation, unlike Mandarin
Interesting, I guess katakana has that advantages unlike chinese, the Taiwanese have bopomofo tho, sorta similar
He surrendered when ussr joined the Eastern theater. USA nuked them anyway to send a message and to test the weapon on civilians.
Yes, exactly, they would’ve ended up like Afghanistan which is why they surrendered.
Getting nuked twice saved Japan
>they got the bulk of Marshall Plan gibs, even moreso than Yurop and Asia (you know the countries they've invaded and destroyed)
>America made sure they were back to their pre-war wealth and status, in fact they became a first world c**t again by the early 60s
>getting nuked twice also partially absolved them from all their warcrimes, they can pretend to be a victim of war too instead of an instigator
It also discredited the militarist regime so they could never really recover. Unconditional surrender (excepting Hirohito living) ended Japan existing as a police state.
>instead of an instigator
The Japanese Ambassador was detained with foreknowledge of Pearl Harbor going back months specifically to sell the surprise stab in the back narrative.
no he wasnt moron.
gaijins like the narrative that japs simply got away with it for some reason
>gaijins like the narrative that japs simply got away with it for some reason
But they did
Unit 731 scientists got poached by American big pharma and the US Army, they lived long lives and weren't punished
At least israelites and Mossad hunted down ex-Nazis and were moderately successful
Jap LDP intentionally changed the identities of some war criminals so they could never be discovered and refused reparations until the 80s-90s
>Unit 731 scientists got poached by American big pharma
leave schizo
US government hired the top nazis too, to run the CIA and NASA as well as the MK ultra program. The only nazis hunted down or punished in the Nuremberg trials were low level tank commanders and security guards who were just following orders. The ones at the top who gave the orders all got kushy jobs working in Allied governments.
Anon, I know there are those Japs got away with it but ''All the Class A war criminals were let go'' is completely bullshit
>only the underlings
huh? do you think Tojo and his homies were underlings
>dis thread again
when it comes to japanese war crimes, both sides tend to be completely moronic and say moronic shit
>so doug, i sez to acheson, i sez "Never bring that fricking cretin in here again. He didn't drop the bomb. I did. That kind of weepiness makes me sick"
Soviet animals prepping to invade. A significant portion of the cabinet (basically holding him hostage) was for calling the nuclear bluff, correctly assuming they couldn't have a third guessing off uranium enrichment a sub that surrendered just barely after being pursued by a Canadian navy destroyer upped the Manhattan Project time schedule by at least four months, gifting them refined uranium and other materials/plans bound for Japan; officers present protested vigorously and elected to commit sudoku on board the sub Then there was Operation Ichigo on the continent in China undertaken as an all out offensive to neutralize the Chinese Nationalists permanently -- mostly a success, but dealing with "no surrender" idiots in Washington surrounded by Soviet spies wasn't ever going to produce negotiating leverage desired.

Real photo. Cope and seethe round-eyes.
Time is a flat circle.
nobody cares in japan
Because his country was losing. There wasn't a point in fighting when you're just losing every battle and you're out of money and resources.
It was a major risk on his part. The main reason why Japan didn't surrender after Midway because the US would only accept unconditional surrender, and also the US media was saying they were going to hang the emperor. You're a guy who didn't start the war, though you gave the military government a rubber stamp, and if you lose you'll be responsible for ending a 2,000 year dynasty. But the writing was on the wall.
It was the army who wanted to keep fighting and even tried to set up a coup when the emperor was about to surrender.
