I'm not even sure how to react--there's that image where you can photoshop for fun if we're heading 'there'.
I've been following a bit about that and personally, it is looking like WW2 all over again; the Daesh plays their role as the 'good Nazi' to the letter--and we know how they end. Now I'm just waiting for a Nuremburg Trial equivalent and how the leader of their circus ends up--suicide, or public justice by the hands of the mob where he will be hunged upside down and displayed in a local gas station?
Now back to topic...
i have this headcanon considering the Hakamichi family and their lineage. During the Meiji era, the Hakamichis were amongst the few small clan who served the Emperor since the end of the Sengoku era. During WW2, they sent their sons out to war, some didn't made it back after Midway.
The one who did was part of the home-guard and was never shipped. The Katana was the Hakamichi's heirloom and since he was never shipped out, he made his own little story of how he survived a few battles while emphasising honor and duty before passing down the katana.
That Katana is in Jigoro's hand--and so is the made-up story, which was regarded as 'facts' after a generation. Now he's doing the same with the help of Akira
