The official account of the U.S. Embassy in Japan wrote: On September 2, 1945, Japan formally surrendered aboard the American battleship Missouri anchored in Tokyo Bay, marking the official end of World War II.

Foreign Minister Shigetarō Shimomura, Chief of Staff General Masahiko Kimura, and General Douglas MacArthur signed this historic moment, laying the foundation for modern U.S.-Japan relations.

Upon the post's release, right-wing factions went into meltdown, with the comment section flooded by Japanese internet users—clearly revealing the historical and political perspectives of ordinary Japanese people, which is truly astonishing. Such a historical consciousness did not emerge out of thin air.

"Thank you for reminding us—you have already lost to us."

"Are you provoking us?"

"Shameful! The United States, Japan's closest ally, dares to mock Japan with such a post. Yet many Japanese still love America. When will the Japanese people finally shake off this servile mentality? The U.S.-Japan relationship isn't one of allies—it's one of master and slave!"

"The atomic bomb victims in Hiroshima and Nagasaki totaled 140,000. You still show no remorse for these inhumane acts. Now you're killing countless foreign civilians again under the pretext of non-existent weapons of mass destruction. Who do you think you are, Trump?"

"For the sake of Asian people and to ensure independence for Asian nations, we Japanese never believe fighting you was wrong. If Japan had not fought, Asia—including China—would have continued suffering under your white man's tyranny. As the only nation capable of matching Europe and America at the time, Japan could not possibly surrender without a fight for the sake of Asia’s interests!"

Some comments said, "From a historical and future perspective, our country has never lost to China."

"All you Japanese citizens, next time we must win!"

"Americans still didn’t kill enough. The foreign country that killed the most Japanese was the United States. Now, the Japanese are licking the American ass. What a disgracefully base and contemptible nation!"

"Just wait and see! We will become a stronger nation! America, please take good care of us!"

"We Japanese will never forget this. And we will also never forget how the U.S. killed countless civilians in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Okinawa!"

"Japan liberated the world from the brutality of Western powers. Though defeated in battle, Japan won in spirit."

"Don’t forget—your secret Yalta agreement caused the Kuril Islands to be occupied by Russians. Remember that too!"
