Mitsui Kazuo was dead.
The news was even more shocking to the politicians of East Asia than Takemiya Hiro and the four Demon Gods' sudden death and the crushing defeat of the Fourteenth Brigade.
Most of them had dealt with Mitsui Kazuo before and had heard of many of his incredible stories. As the last boss at the Mitsui Group, he was one of the main contributors to the rebuilding of postwar Japan. He was also the maker of the golden era in Japan. He and his friends in the government had lead Japan, a war-torn nation out of recession and deprivation and became the second strongest economy in the world. Their economy mighty have even threatened to surpass the Americans in the 80s.
