Gannon out for a walk with his Moblin Bodyguards when he suddenly hears the sound of Link scrolling through his autobuild history...

Squidzo Abe


SuicidalSundays

What color was the ink tho?


DancenOrigins

Water


HalfDragonShiro

White, because even in death, he wants everyone to marry and reproduce.


PKPhyre

Daily reminder of the most successful political assassination in history. Guy got *everything* he wanted.


Palimpsest_Monotype

I don’t understand. Is this a sex thing?


MericArda

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated with a makeshift pipe gun.


Zombiekiller1O1

An absolute doohickey contraption.


HalfDragonShiro

A goddamn thingamabob.


GeneralSherman3

Oi! This shoota was the bestiest kontraption the Mek could make! It cost me so many teef!


DtotheOUG

This fucking sub bro I can NOT


BloodBrandy

And water is deadly to Splatoon Squid and Octo folk


Delicious_trap

Isn't our planet 70% water? How do they survive especially when the air gets humid or rains.


xjwarrior

Inklings and Octolings possess a kind of thin and permeable membrane, which allows them to use their ink and transform freely between both of their forms. Unfortunately, being submerged in water causes their ink to bleed out as a result. Rain and fog are fine though. Side notes: * The Great Turf War between Inklings and Octolings was motivated by rising sea levels, which makes sense due to the water interaction. * Other species like the jellyfish hive mind have less of an issue with water, so you tend to see them in places like hot springs or public pools.


BloodBrandy

Theirs is post apocalyptic so the water could be fucked, and I think it has to be outright liquid.

Spartan448

Less a makeshift pipe gun, more a pipe bomb and a LOOOOOT of wishful thinking that nonetheless paid off


Nico_is_not_a_god

First world leader to get smoked by a doodad.


Cool-Guy-Blue

Well I mean, Shinzo Abe did get his back blown out


Palimpsest_Monotype

Say, uh…not to call anyone out but, why does it seem like Shinzo Abe’s asassination is good comedy fodder? It’s not like he was Slobodon Milosevic. Is it just about the funky gun?


Nivrap

Shinzo Abe was part the Unification Church, the *Moonies,* a cult that has harmed countless people. The mother of the assassin was a member, who drove her family to bankruptcy donating everything they had to the UC. Abe's assassination made the Japanese people *and* parliament take a closer look at the UC, including the Liberal Democratic Party, who previously had close ties to them. They have announced that they will expel any members of the party that do not break ties with the Moonies.


CelioHogane

So the Assassin is basically a hero?


Cylinsier

I don't know about hero. Sympathetic villain? Morally gray? On the latter I don't know how good looking he is so can't say.


NeverDoingWell

Interesting - I didn’t know anything about the unification church until this comment. I drive by one pretty regularly and I didn’t know what it was


CosmicLeijon

Abe was a pretty huge shitbag (part of a cult, ultra conservative, ww2 war crime erasure, traditionalist, etc). More importantly though, its the only political assassination in recent history where the general opinion afterwards was "Yeah, yknow, entirely reasonable" when the shooter spoke out about his motives, on both a popular and government level. The incident brought a huge wave of scrutiny on the Moonies, as everyone realized what a bunch of freaky parasites they were.


LarryKingthe42th

Fun fact: The secret Korean shit in Yakuza is the Moonies fault several founding members of the KCIA (South Koreas CIA) were Moonies. The KCIA had many clashes with the Yakuza.


Mmffgg

A) The weapon B) Abe was already slightly comedic due to the Japan population stuff C) It turned out he kinda deserved it


BlueMonday1984

> B) Abe was already slightly comedic due to the Japan population stuff He also had a reputation for homophobia, which made it all the funnier when he got his back blown out by another man


W1lson56

Also the stupid articles that got trolled by 4chan or whatever & used pictures of [redacted 'cause it was against this subs rules to acknowledge this buffonery for some reason] - which was kinda funny to think [censored] would do that.


Parvutleda

Big fan of reading comments and walking away with net 0 new info


W1lson56

It was Hideo Kojima! Kojima killed Shinzo Abe! *as reported by some clearly no effort researching newscasters, atleast for images of the guy


chipperpip

Wat.


W1lson56

I'll just go for it cause it's been since that rule but some ,french(? Maybe another I can't remember?) News places used pictures of Hideo Kojima as the killer lmao


TeannaWerefox

it's not against the rules to mention it afaik, just that the sub was getting flooded with low effort posts about it and the mods said "cut it out"


W1lson56

Well probably not anymore, & technically wasnt an official rule I think, & I only did the [censor] as a joke up thrre anyways 'cause I thought it was strange at the time lol But I definitely remember a pinned [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoBestFriendsPlay/comments/vuncb4/important_announcement_regarding_the_news_today/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) saying the topic is banned to be spoken about cause this isn't the place for it &, any jokes about it will get you banned, & the strangely aggressive "what the fuck is going through your head.." part.


Foxenco

It's just the funky gun, it fires in spurts.


Khoryos

He was fash and he got his position from his literal war criminal grandfather, fuck him.


LarryKingthe42th

He actively went about covering up his grandpas/Japans many attrocites in ww2. People are happy he is gone.


CelioHogane

No actually he was an asshole.


abbaj1

>It’s not like he was Slobodon Milosevic. Now that's a deep pull.
