Russo-Japanese war propaganda

Ro-suke (nickname for Russians used in the war): "I'm dyiiiiing"
Japanese soldier: "I will finish you off!"
Ro-suke (in the background): "Retreat!"

It is a system needed for people to keep themselves sane and deal with the unreasoning chaos of reality. Religion offers the story of salvation, for example. Likewise, morals and ethics could be defined as the most popular story of the people of the age. But while these stories are harmless as long as they're used to keep individuals calm, this changes when they're used as tools for a country or race. Stories like "jews are an inferior race that have to be purged" and "capitalists are devils and if you suicide bomb them you can go to heaven" brought about tragedies due to their popularity. For an example on a smaller scale, it's not uncommon that a story that one person...

People Washimi Tsutomu: Director Suga Munemitsu: Writer Amaduyu Tatsuki: Character designer Utawarerumono takes place in Japan (in the future). The Earth's axis has changed a bit in this world. The rest of the world of course still exists, and there are other races not seen in the game living on other continents. -Suga There were initially plans to have Benawy, Crow, and/or Oboro die at the end.
