Description:  Kadomatsu uses a laser designator to guide a blank Harpoon missile to the American supply depot demonstrating their capabilities. Meanwhile, a large Japanese fleet unrecorded in history, led by the battleship Yamato, arrives to shell the American marines. Kusaka radios Kadomatsu from Umidori to reveal his vision for a new country that is neither the militaristic empire of his time nor the defeated Japan of the future. He calls his ideal land Zipang. Kadomatsu refuses to consider this and calls Kusaka a murderous madman.
