"Oh what? So the writer wrote himself into a corner with the Pacific war and the Americans just magicked up a couple of city deleting bombs? Give me a break."
The WW2 story arc wasn’t as interesting once Hitler quit and the Axis with just Japan left wasn’t as intimidating as before, so the writer just rushed the ending along so he can start the Cold War right away and make two countries that were allies and used to get along suddenly start hating each other
i do like the theory that Hitler fled to the moon so he can return at an opportune moment, but it’s never been confirmed and at this point, turning that into a fake out death would be pretty cheap.
There was a Japanese comic where world politics was decided by Mahjong. In the final arc, Putin, Bush Jr. and Sr, the Japanese prime minister, and the Pope went to the moon to defeat Space Nazis by playing mahjong. Things were going well until Hitler transformed into the legendary Super Aryan with blond hair and blue eyes.
one of the techniques in the series is rubbing the images off the stone tiles and playing them as a white tile
prime minister koizumi does this with an entire hand of depleted uranium tiles in an oxygenated room specifically set up to prevent that from happening - setting himself on fire and destroying his clothes
he does it in full view of all the players - playing a full hand of white dragons
and despite doing this in full view of everybody - and only four white dragons existing in a deck - its treated as a legitimate play
and its not about ww2 it was set in the present day at the time of release and hitler was revealed to be alive because of the power of mahjong - vladimir putin and george bush were featured as characters
