Tokyo’s crazy governor Shintaro Ishihara has announced he will stand for election for a fourth consecutive term, much to the delight of manga fans everywhere.
The 78-year-old previously indicated he would not seek re-election, but changed his mind and officially announced he would after all.
He had some rather gloating remarks for neo-Ishihara candidate Matsuzawa:
“I feel sorry for Matsuzawa-kun. Whether I stood or not, he wouldn’t get in.”
They are apparently negotiating over whether he will withdraw his candidacy so as to avoid splitting the all-important anti-youth vote.
Public opinion polls have suggested that in Ishihara’s absence none of the likely candidates would be able to secure a proper mandate, which possibly suggested to Ishihara an easy victory was within his grasp – or as he would have it, he wanted to avoid unhealthy legislative gridlock by selflessly offering another 4 years of service to the city.
So far Tokyo citizens are being presented with an exemplary line up – two ban-hungry crazies, one dilettante tycoon who will say anything to get elected, and a communist…

Oh snap Matsuzawa! You gonna let him talk to you like that?!
Yo Matsuzawa i heard Ishihara talking shit about yo momma behind yo back. :P
I think it was part of his plan:
First, he announces that he will not run for re-election. Opponents of the Anime/Manga ban cheer.
Then a new candidate appears whose views are even MORE extreme than Ishihara's. Uh oh...
Then Ishihara "changes his mind" and announces that he will run for re-election afterall.
Now people will think, "Ishihara's gotta be better than Matsuzawa", in other words that he is the lesser of two evils.
Sneaky bastard.
He's playing the "lesser of two evils" scheme.
He's an asshole.
It does not matter who is more evil; they both suck.
why pick one just kill them both and vote for your self >< that seams a better idea hehe.
I feel bad for the folks in Tokyo who actually have to choose one.
the race to get shot first has taken a startling turn of events with Ishiihara in first place and Matsuwara in second place.
Yo Matsuzawa! Ishihara was talking about sticking his dick through your mom's shoji! It's on now!
It's on! It's on! Wooo! Trash-talking Governor Cage Match! Two bigots enter, only one comes out!
I sure hope Matsuzawa RossPerots this thing. Take enough votes away from Ishihara's partisanship, and let someone slightly less terrible steal the win.
Why this and not the earthquakes?
They keep mentioning one of Ishihara's opponents being a communist as if it's a bad thing. He's the only one of the lot that seems to have any sense whatsoever.
Vote for JCP is a vote for justice.
yeah, this is kinda the situation to cheer for the commie
How about we get the tycoon and the communist together? It could make for an interesting sitcom. They could call it, "My Two Governors".
Vote commie, I guess.
Ironically, perhaps he'd be the toughest on China since they're traitors to Communism?
Funny enough, the JCP is quite nationalist. They had anti-China articles on their website during the whole chinese fishing vessel incident.
The communist guy actually sounded kinda reasonable. I'm sorry to say he might be the only real choice out of all these fuck ups.
“I feel sorry for the otakus. Whether I stood or not, they wouldn’t get in.”
Shintaro Ishihara
"So far Tokyo citizens are being presented with an exemplary line up – two ban-hungry crazies, one dilettante tycoon who will say anything to get elected, and a communist…"
In the other words: welcome to the most retared system ever created: democracy.
Not that it's any better in other countries arond the world.
Just look to america... They got lots of bad people at the top.
And you still haven't give any examples.
It seems that even the gods are pissed with these 2 assholes...
Still, I hope the ppl that were caught in the earthquake are okay :x
well, there are still the communist, right?
just choose him, communist isn't that bad.
Hopefully that Ishihara and his Matsuzawa won't be elected after the major 8.9 Ritcher earthquake strikes in Japan. And my wishes to the Japanese people safe and sound there right now.:-1
...and other people will safe too.
lol,a communist is way better than any ishihara.Americans have really distorted views about communism.I will chose the communist anyday.
Just let that bastard in for the 4th term
I can't be assed to remember 2 evils, let alone 1.
why didn't the Tsunami kill this guy.
The horror of the Tsunami, yet seeing this **** face of his. PIFF

By the way, can anyone help translate the white paper of the page and put it here.
Pretty please?
Is a special suprise!
Lesser of 4 evils
God Damn this goes down as the worst day japans had in long ass time!
Sure hope it's not as bad as it looks cause it looks fucken bad!
I hope they are okay... Including this douchebag. Hopefully let this tsunami reminds him that there are more important things.
How will those negotiations go with a remark like that?
Tbh, if all the Japanese mummies worked when they are 80, Japan wouldn't be in trouble with pensions.
The bigger questions is: WHY ARE YOU HERE?
Did the governor died in the quake?
He should have been killed by the earthquake...
When is the election?
Ugh. That trollface.
If I were the current Government in Tokyo right now, I'd strongly consider postponing the election for Governer untill the crisis in Japan is over. Even though the election isn't untill next month.
Die in a fire, Palpatine!
I don't normally wish painful deaths on anyone, however sick they may be, but this man has the power and the will to throw the country and the culture back a hundred years and that must not happen.
If Ishihara and his clone and more people like them run for office it could be a good thing in the long run.
If these guys split the crazy old "ban everything fun" vote then there's a chance someone less insane could win.
The communist seems like their best option. Yes, I'm serious.
Ishihara, for the love of God just die Already!
Do it! Do it now!!
Ok we got the worst sealed away, Still hoping one of the other two win, but at least the games are safe....for now T-T
God just punished your lies with a Tsunami !!!
God should only punishes both Ishihara and Matsuzawa. They deserve it better due of their hypocrites and lies!
God should kill Ishihara and Matsuzawa, then send them to hell for Krausser to rape them :D
ITS KRAUSER, YOU FOOL!
Wrong!!
God just punished your lies with a 8.8-magnitude earthquake!!!
WRONG!!!
God won't miss Tokyo by Sendai.
WRONG!
God just punished your lies with a Earthquake AND a Tsunami!
