Based on the fact that the Yakuza series is basically about “being Japanese”, and having previously been exposed to Japan, I guessed from the start the “secret of Onomichi” was going to involve the fucking battleship Yamato rising from under the sea

SURE ENOUGH

\n

this puts Martian Successor Nadesico\u2019s rise-from-underwater (Yamato + Nadesico, or rather \u306a\u3067\u3057\u3053= \u201cyamato nadeshiko\u201d, the idealized Japanese woman, the joke was the series was a Space Battleship Yamato/Gundam/Macross riff as a \u201890s harem comedy) at almost the midpoint between Space Battleship Yamato \u2018s and Yakuza 6\u2019s
