Zipang: Difference between revisions

* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]] - There are quite a few sympathetic Imperial Japanese characters, including those in high positions of power, who vehemently disagree with the Militarist direction of their country. But nonetheless try to find ways to protect their homeland and find a more amiable end to the war.

* [[Officer and a Gentleman]] - the IJN officer they rescue from a crashed seaplane fits this trope to a T.

* [[Shown Their Work]] - For the most part, the show does a remarkably accurate job of portraying various aircraft and ships that appear throughout the series. The two major exceptions include {{spoiler|using a laser-guided Harpoon missile to attack an American base (the Harpoon is not laser-guided nor designed to attack land targets, at least not the versions the JMSDF would have), and using a Tomahawk missile to sink an aircraft carrier (an anti-ship variant of the Tomahawk was made, but was only ever used by the U.S. Navy and retired before the manga was even published.) Note that no JMSDF warship is armed with Tomahawk missiles on the basis that it is a purely offensive weapon, and equipping it would violate Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, which would presumably preclude being armed with any land-attack-capable Harpoons.}}

** {{spoiler|Then again, right at the start of the manga, the ship is being sent on an offensive joint mission despite protests, so loading up on some offensive weaponry might be understandable}}
