Other countries: Sings about past victories, glory, and the pains of war in their military marches Japan: *T h e t i m e t o d i e i s n o w*

Everybody gangsta until you pause your anime and can still hear japanese speaking

Fun fact:Today, this song is still in use by the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the Japan Imperial Guard Headquarters for their military parade. In Japan, many of the military songs of the former Imperial Japanese Army and Imperial Japanese navy are still inherited by the Self-Defense Forces.

Wasps: *stings and flies away* Bees:

This song is basically, "Yeah my enemies are strong, but the will of the emperor is stronger."

When you get a A+ in Japanese history

What You know about Japan: Anime! What your parents know about Japan: Nintendo! What your grandparents know about Japan: Toyota! What your great grandparents know about Japan:

i like how this song still shows praise to the enemy and yet shows japan itself to be even stronger, essentially saying " yea, you're strong, but we're stronger"

When you realize the Chinese can’t report any war crimes if you leave no witnesses.

As a Chinese I better leave the chat before its too late

Damn, such a nice song, acknowledging the enemy’s strength. I’m sure the army behaved equally as nice

Soldier:We have run out of ammo Emperor:Son you are the ammo

When a chinese kid steals your pencil

For others who may not know: This song is written just after the Satsuma rebellion. Right after the beginning of the song, the lyrics praised "the enemy general" whose "bravery is equal to none". This enemy general is Saigo Takamori. He was a samurai general who resented the modernization of the Japanese military which erodes the samurai bushi class. Both the samurai rebels and the imperial army fought for the emperor but the emperor chose to side with the imperial army. After the rebellion was quelled, Saigo Takamori was posthumously pardoned by the emperor for his struggle to uphold Japanese traditions. They chose to die in the battlefield instead of surrendering their swords. For their valour and bravery, they were renowned and respected even by the army that defeated them

lyric is even respecting enemy soldiers

The Rising Sun Flag is a truly beautiful flag. It is such a masterpiece that I doubt we will ever see such a beautiful flag again. The sun is our motherhood.

When your chinese girlfriend breaks your heart so you break her country

*"GOD DAMM IT TOJO, YOUVE MADE THE SUN RISE TOO HIGH!!!"* -General MacArthur

I have a strong feeling that I shouldn't be vibing to this considering that my great-grandfather fought in ww2 for America but I'm vibing anyway!

Teacher: Our new exchange student is from Japan Girls: OMG I hope he's cute Boys:

I sung this in a karaoke of a weeb comicon, they thought that it was the OST of some older anime 💀

Germany and Japan always know how to make some of the most die-hard songs.

When the chinese kid beats you in chess so you beat him to death with your type 99 arisaka rifle

When the korean kid burns your minecraft house, so you burn his house in real life

この曲は明治１０年(西暦1878年)から始まったの日本最後の内戦の時の政府軍の部隊の活躍遠歌った歌です♪

Mosquitos: bite and fly away Wasps: sting and fly away Bees:

Japan: Wanna hear a joke? China: Yes Japan: Manchuria China: I didnt get it Japan: *EXACTLY*

Me a Filipino listening to this: feels honored and ready to die for the Emperor *My great-grandpa who fought with Americans from Samar to Manila watching me:* ay puta-

Other countries: *sings own anthem* Japan:

Japanese flight cadet: How do we land? Flight instructor: We don't do that here

"and our enemies are enemies of the emperor" *hmm yes, the floor is made of floor*

Japan then: *BANZAI!* Japan now: *SENPAI!*

I'm on the battlefield right now but I can't stop listening to this

*"I shouldn't have listened to Tojo's orders"* - Admiral Yamamoto

When the Chinese girl you like says no

Soldier : "Where's the landing gear?" Instructor : "We don't do it here"

This song was made to combat the Tokugawa Shogunate, which is why the line "The sword was made obsolete" is there. It referrs to the traditional warfare that Tokugawa used during the Boshin War

This does put a smile on my face.

Southeast Asia: The Japanese have freed us! Japan: I wouldn't say freed, more like under new management.

My grandfather died in WW2. He was the greatest pilot in all of Japan

Japanese kid: "The Chinese kid just stole my lunch!" Mom: Tell the teacher Dad: Tell the principal Grandpa: 0:16

If japan ever starts using this song again, North Korea should be very worried

It's amazing how a small island nation was able to conquer most of Asia at a point.

Indonesia : 🙁 Malaysia : 🙁 singapore : 🙁 Brunei darussalam : 🙁 Vietnam : 🙁 Philipines : 🙁 Laos : 🙁 Myanmar : 🙁 Cambodia : 🙁 Thailand : 😎 Japan empire : 😎 Edit : Wow 2 years ago Edit : wow 3 years ago

me: *plays this* my great grandmother: sounds *familiar* ..

What People Think: Hehe Japanese Warcrimes memes Banzaai What the song really means: Japanese Police with Swords about to whoop some ungrateful Samurai.

Teacher : what is the capital of Japan? Japanese kid : Tokyo. Teacher : what is the capital of china? Kid : Tokyo Teacher : Sit down Tojo, you don't know the answer. Tojo : we'll see.

"The enemy general is a hero equal to none in glory and victory." How often is a march that generous to the enemy?

I love how it also praises the virtues of the enemy

This military song was originally composed for the police officers who fought as a death squad during the Civil War in 1877. For this reason, the Japanese police still use this song in their marches today.

My favorite anime intro .

When a Chinese tourist infected with Corona goes to Japan

‘It’s not a War Crime unless you believe in it.’ - A Japanese General

Russia: Japan:

Pray to whatever God you believe in that is not taken down

My ancestors is probably mad at me for vibing to this

I don't know why, but this version of Battotai somehow gives me nostalgia.

That moment when you want the Kuril islands back.

Pilot: "Where's the landing gear?" Sergeant: "Uh yea, we don't land.."

Ljotic Dmitrije spasala cast srbije.

I showed this to my Filipino Grandpa , he immediately ran to the mountains due to excitement. I love it cuz he's doing well.

Another suprising World Cup match

What a beautiful song of a great army. I'm sure they would never do any war crimes.

As the sun shines the chinese march stops, the japanese are here

Germany:bans all nazism and its songs,flags etc Japan:uses Imperial flag for military

"we are the imperial army" yeah the imperial army that doesn't listen to their emperor

I like how the song doesn't mock the enemy but actually portrays them as strong, fearless etc.

When the Chinese kid pokes you with a pencil so you pole him back with a Type 99 bayonet

Brings back memories 🇩🇪🇯🇵🇭🇺🇦🇹🇮🇹🇷🇺

When your neighbor play K-pop all day Me:Ok my turn

When the sky starts speaking Mitsubishi

When you hit a Hyundai with your Toyota

China: *exists* Japan in WW2: *I'm bouta end this mans whole career*

"Yeah I watch Anime."

This song has lyrics that show respect for the enemy and understand the spirit of the Japanese

When the germans leave thier pacific colonies unprotected

Sir Were out of ammo! Do you have swords? Y- Yes? Banzai it is

日本人でも意味が分かるかどうか、という表現がちゃんと英訳されているのがすごい It's amazing that the lyrics, which even Japanese people can't understand, are properly translated into English.

Just blasted this while my neighbor was playing k-pop. Feeling good.

When Japan gets tired of anime:

やはり名曲

Love Japan from 🇪🇸🇩🇪

When you're watching anime and it starts doing war crimes in South East Asia.

I'm obsessed with the sound of 0:48 and 1:52 prety unremarkable in normal versions of Battotai, in this one is one of my most favourite and memorable pieces ever

When a chinese self proclaimed food expert claiming sushi is from china

Love imperial Japanese from Indonesian *Wait...*

Hirohito watching from Hell seeing a bunch of random people salute his countries war crimes when listening to a 19th century rebellion song.

When you are 0.00000000001% Japanese:

Im not Japanese, but this music is wonderful. Tenno heika banzai !

When the grass started shouting “Tenno Heika Banzai”: “ o h g o d f u c k . “

Damn, I thought that Map is the mainlands of Japan, but when I looked at it again, it's the Japanese Empire's largest extent. It's good looking tho.

I have this song stuck in my head, help

Sun will rise again.
