Analysis of the stockpiles of nuclear material available for use in bomb building reveals some surprising results, with Japan’s nuclear potential ranking high in an international comparison thanks to its large nuclear power industry.
As the chart suggests, it takes into account estimates of plutonium stockpiles, whether acquired expressly for the purposes of nuclear armament or for civilian power generation, to build a series of estimates of the potential nuclear stockpiles each nation could build.
Japan also possesses an additional distinction compared to a number of countries shown, in that it has an independent space program. Some have suggested this serves an unspoken “dual-use” deterrent function, as there is not much that distinguishes a space rocket from a nuclear missile, save from what goes on the top.
Most observers suppose that with sufficient political will Japan could rapidly assemble a nuclear arsenal, although so far calls for an independent nuclear deterrent have been muted at best, even with North Korea’s blustering threats to destroy the nation.
However, unlike any of its neighbours Japan’s constitution expressly forbids maintaining “war potential,” though this has not stopped the nation from building what by some estimates is the world’s fourth most powerful navy…

Japan has a bigger weapon of mass destruction... animes, sure to anihilate the population one generation at a time
Brittannia,anyone?
I thought Haruhi Suzumiya was Japan's weapon of mass destruction?
Well, it took only 8 episodes to eliminate her and wipe about half of the fandom out..
regrettably she still persists
aside from haruhi, anybody noticed the giant rx-78 standing? that thing is nuclear power. For sure they have a few more gundams stashed away ready for activation if there is a need to defend the country and the emperor. BANZAI! BANZAI!
For all we know japan already has a hidden moon base at the dark side of the moon where they mass produce valkyries and SDFs that are ready for transport should the need for them to move into space as colonies.
Also if one will notice they have a big edge in warfare not only because of their mobile suits and armors, aside from the regular infantry japan has a number of female weapons posing as celebrities who can demoralize any nation with their powerful songs which renders entire armies useless.
and if that was not enough, they also have biological weapons that sprout long appendages that we came to call "tentacles" that seem to attack any female to prevent it from reproducing effectively diminishing the medic/soldier count of any foreign army.
and of course there's still a matter of their bases that transform into fighting machines...
but yeah arguably haruhi suzumiya is their ace in the hole
BANZAI!
zing!
they had a strong navy?!
"For all we know japan already has a hidden moon base at the dark side of the moon"
Dude... The ENTIRE MOON is a fucking spaceship that belongs to Japan. They could pierce any country with that spaceship's drills.
Gundams, Knightmare Frames, Sakuradite, any other ace in the hole I forgot to mention? Haruhi?
don't forget old schools,
Diebuster, Mazinger, Getter, oh well pick anyone u like in SRW
In sometime Japan is going to have a mecha that throws galaxies as shurikens...
All I know is that every time there's a massive global fighting tournament, about 1/3 of the guys are from Japan.
Any country with that amount of special moves per square mile is not to be trifled with.
Dudes, Japan doesnt need anything militarily because the world is filled with weeabous who will become suicide bombers once anyone fucks with Japan. Ahh I can see them now screaming BANZAI DESU!
It's true...
Weaboos suicide bombers = nothing of value lost.
They should build more life sized gundams and put them all on the coast facing North Korea.
When they get calls from Kim asking what those things are doing there, they can say "they're just large model kits, we promise."
Exactly.
Sadly, Japanese have several fatal flaws.
Before engaging in an offensive move, they always pause to yell out some retarded name.
Transforming takes time.
Both these pauses provide ample time for a canny foe to counterstrike pre-emptively.
A troop of enemy women soldiers need only expose their breasts for Japanese troops to become anemic from nasal bloodloss.
Until these flaws are fixed Japanese military domination is only a dream.
If Star Wars had the Death Star, Japan made the moon into the HARO STAR
And no, according to one law of animation: no matter how lengthy the attack name or henshin sequence is, the opponents will always be paralyzed in sheer awe
Everyone knows the stockpile will power GUNDAMS!!!
pssh america got transformers
actually Tranformers belongs to both japan and america. With the original transformers merchandis being adaptations of japanese Microman and Diaclone toys. Its kind of like comapring power rangers to super sentai.
If Star Wars have the Death Star, Japan has the Lucky Star.
"A troop of enemy women soldiers need only expose their breasts for Japanese troops to become anemic from nasal bloodloss."
I'd beg to differ they'd get tentacle reap before they can do anything to confuse the enemy.
@Anon 10:06
Japanese are not interested in 3D
Anime created Otaku army!
I think you guys are forgetting people like Nanoha who's basically your White Devil beserker.
and @Anon 21:53, sounds like we can have some Macross going in there too. Damn
Count me in.
All hail Britannia!!!
ALLL HEILLL BRITANNAZI!!!!
You will hail under none other than Maikeru =3 dont worry, I'll turn this world into an otaku paradise and we can rule together (- -)b I'll also make loli's legal and send equality now to a humiliating death sentance.
Who's with me ? -^^-
But Japan is technically destroying themselves right now.
err~ dudes and duddetes~ If you actually looked at that map at the start of the First episode, that fictional empire started in~~ wait for it~~
+
+
+
AMERICA!!!
+
+
+
How the fuck did America become a empire is still not explained in the Anime.. it just Is~ It's more than likely an pathetic '60s wannabe radical animator in Sunrise getting all up in the apparent desires of America back in the days when Nippon was quickly clawing itself out of the ruins by their own hands and where bitch slapping orally the hand that helped them up.. and still do.
Don't forget Kamen Riders!!!!!!!!!! FINAL ATTACKRIDE DEDEDE-DECADE
They're going for Cultural Victory.
They need to hurry up then, they have less than a hundred turns to the end of the game. Sadly no one decided to take the Space Race victory route.
+1
cultural victory = win.
+9000 to that 1 for culture victory
not enoguh stacked wonders in one place. :X
"+9000 to that 1 for culture victory"
I guess that means IT'S OVER 9000!"
or...is it ?! =o
You made us otaku!!(+10)
Cultural and Space victories are for fags.
Real men go for Conquest.
Sadly there are no real men left in the world.
The F have taken over.
When you try for conquest all the space/cultural fags ally and rape you - read hitler
Why Civ4's Japan is so "WAR!WAR!WAR!"?
Why have not post-war Japan with a rule like "Unable to declare a war."?
Not to mention Japan's weapon of ass destruction: yaoi.
