Japanese Unit Puns

(American here)

Had the urge to look at alternate translations on Unit 731. I've had some success jumping between languages on the same article and using translation software to find information that the English version lacks. Did this with the Unit 731 article and found denial after denial. Human experimentation was downplayed, use of biological warfare agents dismissed, and so on.

I grew up with the narrative that Unit 731 made Josef Mengele seem ethical. I've never actually gone on a mission to find detailed explanations of that dark story, but generally accepted that they were as terrible as the popular legend claims (i.e. vivisecting people who alive, spreading plagues in China on purpose, etc.).

There is also the trusim that Japan has an element in their population that denies the actions of the Japanese Empire during the wars in China and the Pacific. I have encountered those people previously, even on Reddit. There are the stories of Japanese people knowing little to nothing about the war, much less what happened in any given theater in detail.

Up-front, I'll always willingly admit the terrible things that the US did, from the Camps in the Western US (I've seen Manzanar personally) to the various levels of bad things that GIs and Marines did in any given theater. Don't bring up that nonsense here, it's not relevant to the question at hand.

What are some English-language links to reputable sources for the truthful record of Unit 731? It's not a subject that I'm happy to ask about, but one that I feel like I need to. Book recommendations are also welcome.

Shirō Ishii, commander of Unit 731, received immunity in exchange for data gathered from his experiments on live prisoners. In 1981 John W. Powell published an article in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists detailing the experiments of Unit 731 and its open-air tests of germ warfare on civilians. It was printed with a statement by Judge Röling, the last surviving member of the Tokyo Tribunal, who wrote, "As one of the judges in the International Military Tribunal, it is a bitter experience for me to be informed now that centrally ordered Japanese war criminality of the most disgusting kind was kept secret from the Court by the U.S. government"

Was there Italian equivalent to Unit 731 and Nazi Human Experiments? If yes, can you explain it? If not, why?

I read that japanese g units use the anime stride card backing while the english g units use the traditional blue card backing

Is this true?

Footmen-T2/3-a cheap simple unit using glaives. Reason-medieval Japan battles were mostly cavalry so the infantry ignored swords and shields and used long, 2-handed weapons such as glaives.

Tate Arquebusiers-T4/5-a shielded arquebus unit using the Tate shield, essentially the Japanese developed Pavise shield. Reason-historically accurate and badass.

Samurai-T3/4-an armoured, horseback archer unit. Reason-contrary to popular belief, samurai actually preferred to use the bow over the sword as swords were seen as quite useless on the battlefield. At the time, the sword was like the modern soldiers pistol, only drawn when in dire situations.

In this post I will be highlighting every premium units peak position in the Japanese version of Dragonball Legends for IOS and Android.

Notes

• RED SSJ Namek Goku came out before the data was available
• Legends Rising #11 had a brief downtime on Android. The true position may never be known 77 was the highest seen. Down time was only two days (Feburary 1st and 2nd), and it's plausible that 77 was the true peak.
• Although GRN Goku Black's Step Up peaked at the same position as YEL Goten & GRN Trunks All Star banner, he made a much bigger leap. GRN Goku Black's banner jumped 376 positions as opposed to Goten and Trunks 167 positions.
• LF BLU Kid Buu jumped 245 positions on IOS as compared to YEL Future Gohan who jumped 87 positions. This could explain why Kid Buu is doing considerably worse. PUR Rose Goku Black Jumped 134 positions. They could have all grossed very similar revenue, but we won't know until we look at the raw data.

Legends Rising

It's not obvious to me, but a lot of respected Civ personalities have commented on how huge of a change it is, even saying it's the biggest change in the entire patch less so than the Line Infantry unit.

My gut feel was that it would decrease those units power since there's a mid level unit to compete with them where as they were previously just better until musketmen game along. I understand it had something to do with being able to upgrade them rather than hard build them, but I don't understand why that's such a drastic change.

We see japanese units in this game everywhere. In rebellcamps, in expeditions And so on.

My question and discussion point is, why arent they playable and what do u think should they be playable? I wait for them since i started playing and in ss1 they were the "pirates" that wanted to destroy the country. I wait for them and the season where they get playable. They are inside the game...why are they not playable...what do u thini should they be playable or should they stay the rebells they are rn?
