There's no report in the paper. Now announcement on the news. But everyone can feel it. It's a feeling of tensity, of fear, of stress. Of a nation that has been stretched too thin.

Japan. A warrior culture that is most ancient. A culture of devotion to the nation. To the Mikado. They are the single greatest race on earth, says their government. They are the people of the famed samurai. Of the respected and mourned kamikaze, a nation which once set out to conquer China, the largest human nation on earth--and succeeded. They are a nation that for three years, did something no one else could. They defied every super power, defeated every colonizing gaijin army. They conquered Asia and subdued the west, with the heavens as their witness. They are a nation that once commanded the greatest navy the world had ever known, that built the biggest battleships in history. The spirit of Bushido burns bright in the hearts of the Empire, as does the desire for revenge.

Six days ago, Japanese protesters massed outside the Aldia-karelian embassy. The protests were peaceful and contained by the police. But last night, protesters became agitated. They chanted the Imperial war cry of bonzai, set fire to Aldian, Empire of Goran, and Caifuanese flags. At 12:00, a molotov cocktail smashed through the window of a police cruiser, exploding and badly burning one police officer. Now, at 7:00 this morning, riot units are on seen and have set up a shield wall. Just down the street, crowds are amassing near the Caifuanese and Goran embassies. Inside, the staff can hear chants of, "avenge the Empire!" There are now huge crowds as far as the eye can see, flooding the small but decadent wealthy section of Saisei. There's no sounds to be heard aside from the chants and police sirens...

Lothric casually watches and perhaps /accidentally/ sends funding and weapons to protestors through the black market.
