Nouso has chosen to fight, knowing that they will lose the war.
Option 2: Fighting the war knowing that they are going to lose |

〔注〕 Some readers may associate with the following saying of Osami Nagano (Marshal Admiral of Imperial Japan), but it is not related at all. "The government has decided that the country would be ruined if they avoided the war, but the country may also be ruined with the war.

Thus, only fighting until our last soldier left will make us find a way in the midst of death. " |
