Current State of Affairs

Current State of Affairs in Japan
In the near future, several years have passed since the Black Points have opened. The situation is explained here.

■ Kantou
Covering a vast amount of the Tokyo Metropolitian Area, the first Black Point in Japan, connected to the Black World, reaches to the Saitama Prefecture in the North, Chiba in the East, an Kanagawa in the South.

A huge number of Diabolos emerged, slaughtering in-masse the people caught in the neighborhoods under the dome. While it still has the look of a city due to the mostly in-tact wreckage of the buildings and skyscrapers, it has turned into a lifeless Death World. The Self Defense Force, daring to fight back, was wiped out almost instantly, while military reinforcements from Tohoku and Chubu were tossed around like rag-dolls. U.S. Troops stationed in Kanagawa that were told about the casualties in the anti-Z/X War in America, fell silent upon hearing the news

■ Hokkaido and Tohoku
A Small Black Point connected to the Green World formed in the middle of the Aomori and Akita Prefectures, around Lake Towada.

Self-Defense Forces returning from Kantou were overrun by the Plasects they were forced to fight, and ended up having to fall back to Hokkaido, unable to do anything. The area surrounding the Black Point has remained, but is slowly being taken over by plants, turning the area into dense forest as it continues to spread.

■ Chubu and Hokuriku
A Small Black Point connected to the Blue World has formed in an area overlapping Nagano, Gifu, and Toyama.

The region has fallen into a state of chaos due to the out-of-control Killer Machines. Obviously, humans do not have the teeth to fight back, and the Self Defense Force has been forced to fall back to the Shizuoka district.

■ South-West Honshu and Kyushu
A Small Black Point connected to the Red World that has formed in an area overlapping Kumamoto, Miyazaki, and Kagoshima.

Gigantics and Bravers appeared at the same time battles were going on in Chubu and Tohoku.

While the Kitakyusyu unit of the Self Defense Force attempted a second retaking of Tokyo, they were tragically forced to withdraw. Why the Black Points to the 4 Worlds appeared and the reasons for the attacks remains unknown.

■ Kinki and Shikoku
A Small Black Point connected to the White World has formed in the middle of Nara and Wakayama.

This was the latest Black Point to form in Japan, but fighting has not visibly happened unlike the rest of the country. However, there are unconfirmed reports of some towns having been annihilated by gigantic and angelic Z/X. As the locations are an easy hop-and-a-skip from the Black Point, getting any clear information is difficult.

■ Current Situation with other Regions.
It is dangerous to wander around within dozens of km near the Black Points, as large numbers of Z/X roam about. As a result, according to the orders of the Self Defense Force, the general public is forbidden from wandering around the area. However, in places away from the Black Points, it is difficult for Z/X to maintain their presence. With the exception of some inconveniences (including jobs and transportation), most people have returned to some form of peace and calm.

Because of the complete destruction of the capital city, Tokyo, the government has severely weakened, and lacks control over the entire country. As a result, in some regions, the local government, Self-Defense Force and major corporations have joined together to bring some form of order to their respective regions, but cooperation with each other remains extremely disconnected and each is grasping to keep some form of control. On the other hand, services such as TV and the Internet remain usable, so one could say the power to gather information means even more than the current day.

Japan has been judged an extremely dangerous reason due to the dominance of the 5 different Z/X rampaging about, so despite the collapse of the government, it remains un-invaded by foreign powers. However, for the other countries exposed to this unprecedented crisis, Japan remains as an example.

As other countries' Intelligence Agencies try to gather information on the Z/X and attempt to outwit one another, they have been dragged into a state of confusion.
