EARLY EPISODE: The United Red Army of Japan
The terror group the United Red Army was born out of the fires of the anti imperialist student movement of japan but rapidly turned into a death cult. Within a few weeks even taking a shower would be considered counter revolutionary.

Long drop or firing squad is often more ethical than lethal injection because it's quick and relatively painless. Lethal injection has no doctor involvement so you have no idea if you're actually going to be anaesthetised or just paralysised, you could be in pain for hours fully conscious. I'd prefer to just be hanged and have it be done in a couple minutes

Oh, yeah, steroids. One thing no one really talks about is the depletion of T-Cells (cells you need for your body to learn to fight new antigens). So you have a bunch of people you are sprinting to the point they are immunocompromised. You don't get anymore after they are used. It's part of the reason old people get sick so often, because they have already exhausted a lot of T-cells.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
"POCKET CUM!!!"
History of Japan Podcast with Isaac Meyers did a great long series called "Red Star Over Tokyo" about the far Left in post WW2 that is worth a listen if one wants more background from subject specialist.

it’s worth mentioning that Moriaki Wakabayashi, one of the Flight 351 hijackers, was the bassist in the truly legendary noise rock band Les Rallizes Denudes beforehand. His wiki page has the perfect sentence: “Participation in the hijacking marked his departure from the band.”
I now want a shirt that says “get the guys with the turbo boots to kick your nuts into space.”
As someone who just today took a barefoot hike, I condemn Tom's dogs erasure in the strongest terms.
... the living gun thing feels like it inspired a lot of Tetsuo: The Iron Man 2.
The Body Hammer as a weapon
Quantum leap, but Qaddafi.

Goku Black was a villain who looked like Goku with a black gi and pink hair. He called it "Super Saiyan Rosé". The blue hair is "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan", which is a step above "Super Saiyan God" (red hair).
Goku Black is my second favorite villain behind Cell since now Frieza is an antihero?
Tom, you just got to remember: "Anime Fans" are fine. "Weebs" however...
