In the name of Justice

In 2019, Japan restricted high-tech exports to South Korea. This made South Koreans unhappy because South Korean companies Samsung and LG are the main customers of these high-tech exports from Japan. As a result, South Koreans staged a "Boycott Japan" protest, calling for a boycott of Japanese products and Japanese companies. One of those Japanese companies that was targeted by the boycott campaign is Nintendo, who in recent years, has been negatively criticized for their anti-piracy campaign when it comes to intellectual property protection and shutting down fan-made projects for allegedly violating their trademarks and copyrights, resulting in people threatening to boycott them.

So if you want to fight for digital freedom, please share this comic to show your support for victims of oppression during 35 years of imperialist rule.

Then and Now


Fun Facts: The first generation Honda City rolled off the assembly line as a hatchback. Honda retired the "City" name in 1993, only to revive the usage of the name as a sedan in 1996. The "City" name was never reused in Japan, however.

During the first generation Honda City's production run, which ran from 1981 to 1986, Jaleco created an arcade game called City Connection, which was released in 1985 and had a Honda City as the player's vehicle. Interestingly, City Connection, who currently owns the rights to Jaleco's intellectual properties after Game Yarou's bankruptcy, was named after the 1985 arcade game of the same name.
