never really get the argument of "it's tradition, so we have to keep doing it".

wasn't it the native people of japan's tradition to sacrifice someone to local deity for bountiful crops and safe from force majeure?

didn't see that still ongoing.

Feel better!

Also it's so funny that in the panel itself, it's showing Americans destroying a car. Japan bashing was mostly a racist response about the slowing domestic auto industry and growing foreign automakers. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshiba–Kongsberg_scandal

Nothing at all to do with whales.
I thought it just trying to imply that it will affect the bashing even harder should the program failed to passed.

Man, why did this whale arc have to be so long

Kariya really got his dander up over it. Of all the issues to get your panties in a twist over... I'm gonna try and do the fifth and final part tomorrow so I can be done with it and I never, ever have to read it again.

I wonder how Kariya will handle Japan's economy eating shit hard. No more talk of organic ingredients as if money was no object is what I guess.

I think it actually gets even more ridiculous because we're not even to the point where Tozai and Teito are having constant food battles yet.
