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…

One 8.8 wasn't enough.
that 8.8 was japan it self saying fuck and trying to kill him
it a 8.9 now
I wonder if the old Shinto gods of Japan are trying to send a sign to the Japanese people through earthquakes and Tsunamis that they are not pleased with what is going on in their once-magnificent land...
Exactly after Ishihara confirm he will run again this big earthquake happened.
Coincidence? I think not.
Japan literally tries to shake off Ishihara.
We are all screwed beyond screwed
Oh snap Matsuzawa! You gonna let him talk to you like that?!
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?
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.
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.
why pick one just kill them both and vote for your self >< that seams a better idea hehe.
Yo Matsuzawa! Ishihara was talking about sticking his dick through your mom's shoji! It's on now!
All the candidates are assholes. I never understood why only old people can run. They don't know shit about younger people.
So I heard there was an earthquake near Tokyo today. Why didn't it take Ishihara with it?
bad grass don't die easily.
Yeah, I woke up just hearing about it now...That's too big of an earthquake! They said their buildings are swaying left to right over there.
another long term
hope we'll survive, it more dangerous than last earthquake.
This looks grim for Japan their doesn't seem to be a candidate even close to being fit to run the most important city in Japan.
Of course we can hope the best I bet is Matsuzawa gets elected he won't be able to go through with the ban. Though I doubt he will anyway they'll just vote for the same shithead.
God just punished your lies with a Tsunami !!!
Wrong!!
God just punished your lies with a 8.8-magnitude earthquake!!!
WRONG!
God just punished your lies with a Earthquake AND a Tsunami!
WRONG!!!
God won't miss Tokyo by Sendai.
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!
“I feel sorry for the otakus. Whether I stood or not, they wouldn’t get in.”
Shintaro Ishihara
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.
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
TSUNAMI TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE ishihara drowned
and Matsuzawa
Time for some surfing and playing in amazing waves!
Cowabunga.
Going Red for The Victory
It takes a pretty sad group for that to be the best option although I would be amused
These two idiots are what best situated with the context "Too Much Free Time"...
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.
i wish both of them be washed away by the tsunami
where's his eyes,
Why would the manga fans be delighted?
>Matsuzawa-kun
>KUN
>KUN
Ishithara confirmed for gay.
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.
Tokyo just got hit by a 8.9 earthquake and has a tsunami there...
When I saw the fire from teh oil explosion I kinda hoped it was some crazy otaku terrorist attack.
The reality was a lot more shit. As usual.
yeah we know that
even nature was shocked by ishihara's word
my sympathy goes to the japan and all other country who suffer from this tsunami
God's an anime fan. But sadly he doesn't know the meaning of the word subtlety.
Yea, I just saw it. Maybe Ishihara will get caught. :P
Exactly after Ishihara confirm he will run again this big earthquake happened.
Coincidence? I think not.
IT A SIGN! DON'T LET ISHITHARA RUN!
