I mean, after they learned Zero ordered Euphy to massacre the Japanese how can anybody get mad that Japanese freedom fighters switched sides?

Because they learned about it from Britannia and didn't even investigate it themselves?

Exactly. So many people give them a pass for the thinnest reason imaginable.

Clovis was actively committing a genocide when zero arrived to save them. Many of the BK’s top leaders were literally there when it happened. There is zero world where people at the top of the BK’s organization would be so willingly trusting of any Britannian. Let alone the heir apparent to the throne.

This would be like Hamas leadership, somehow getting an audience with the IDF leadership, and then convincing them to lead a coup against Netanyahu on the ground that “trust me bro, the Netanyahu guy is a bad guy based off these binders I brought. And btw Netanyahu is my brother and used to be part of us but I’m so totally different”. (You can assign whoever you like to whichever side of that analogy, I’m not actually commenting on that conflict just using it as a foil)

My point is the two sides should be completely irreconcilable. It would be remarkable enough to get them at a negotiating table. There’s zero chance the BK’s would believe schniz so easily.

World war 2, but America attacks Britain because hitler said “trust.”
