Just how hellish and shameless Yasukuni Shrine really is—I'm risking being expelled from Japan

I finally managed to film what is really inside This is the most evil spirit-summoning ritual

It is so eerie, this is openly praying for and summoning the souls of war criminals Yasukuni Shrine worships those who died in Japan’s wars of aggression

It even includes 14 Class A war criminals and over 2,000 Class B and C war criminals

These demons have their hands stained with the blood of 35 million Chinese people, and here

They are beautified as heroes who defended their country, even as gods—and this thing used to have an even more hellish name

It was called the Tokyo Shōkonsha, this is the main worship hall, and the 16-petal chrysanthemum on the white curtain is the symbol of the Emperor

I am absolutely not here to worship but to expose this to the whole world—as I walk in

There is a very large museum inside, where they turn black into white and recklessly falsify history

This special exhibition area aggressively glorifies the so-called heroic deeds of Class A war criminals and generals

They display the dagger used by Army General Anami Korechika to disembowel himself, and his suicide note stained with blood

They display fragments of the plane in which Class A war criminal Isoroku Yamamoto, planner of the Pearl Harbor sneak attack, “died heroically in battle”

They create a tragic atmosphere, trying to brainwash people who do not know the truth This Zero fighter once took part in the heavy bombing of Chongqing

Over six years of indiscriminate bombing caused more than 30,000 innocent civilian casualties in Chongqing

It was clearly a killing machine, yet Japan is still bragging about it as a meritorious warplane

Behind the cannon, the word “benevolence” is written bigger than a face, which really made me furious—how can anyone be this shameless

“Nanjing Incident” is used instead of “massacre,” meaning that the killing of 300,000 innocent Chinese civilians

Is not mentioned with a single word, but when it comes to Hiroshima, you somehow remember to write that the atomic bombing caused as many as 200,000 civilian deaths

Killing contests, arson, murder, rape, and looting are turned here into “strict military discipline” with “absolutely no unlawful acts”

They say the cause of the September 18 Incident was that the Northeast region carried out anti-Japanese terrorist activities

You invaded my home, yet you act like you are the wronged one—then you set up Manchukuo in the Northeast

And you call it building the Northeast into a fine new nation, when in reality it was fourteen years of enslaving the Northeast

You carried out over a hundred massacres and plundered tens of billions worth of grain and minerals from the Northeast back to Japan

This is Japan’s most insane suicide weapon at the end of World War II—the Kaiten human torpedo

Which means stuffing a person into a torpedo to control the direction for more precise suicide collisions

Using the same principle were the Ōka aircraft, and the infamous Kamikaze Special Attack Units known for suicide attacks

These acts of terror had actual combat results close to zero—they were truly both stupid and evil

So it turns out the Japanese also treat Japanese as “Japanese people,” fussing over these dead pilots’ relics and portraits.

Right next to them it clearly says they bombed Hangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, and Shanghai.

The brutal executioners of Xiangtan are molded into heroic martyrs, turning a blind eye to the suffering of the victimized countries.

Instead they praise the perpetrators’ atrocities. Japan is downright skilled at playing the pitiful victim.

This picture paints itself as besieged on all sides, forced into defense, but why is everyone out to get you?

Do you really have no self-awareness at all? To this day Japan still insists on calling defeat “the end of the war.”

If you cannot face history, you will not have a future. Remembering history is not about creating division or inciting hatred.

What we must do is defend justice and bravely move forward.
