Just found it strange that there was no mention of this going to court. I wonder who brought the case to the courts? And how it all went so quickly?


From my reading of the article here, the promoter of the event probably took the museum to court over breach-of-contract. I suspect the ruling was expedited so the event could resume during the publicized period.

Based on the reports I'm reading, right now. There's certainly a lot of political, racial, and social tension being displayed from a few users.

In reply, I could make a cease and desist statement and delete half the of the posts in this thread. Or, I can lock it altogether and just call the whole thing kaput, since I'm not sure the parties in question will be able to restrain themselves from pursuing said tensions.

What'll it be?

I'm leaning towards option 2.

You obviously haven't bothered to watch One Piece if you dismiss it as just some shounen battle Anime.


I know there is more to it but that's not the point here. Given the purpose of the museum and the existing relationship, I would have started with something that has a different focus and is a bit less whacky.



@Tony K.: I don't think option 2 will stop them from taking the argument elsewhere. And it will leave the reported content in the wild.

I think the promoters knew that it's appropriate to held this event on a war museum, Japan and Korea interacting on a war museum is a big step on their racial issues, it's not being disrespectful, because the event is not meant to be DISRESPECTFUL.

There's this one quote in One Piece that said,
"A child should not be responsible for their parents' sins."

One Piece is big in Korea, and Koreans can really relate to the story, especially on those tons of powerful quotes in the story, I think it's f****** great, unlike their propaganda books that brainwashed their child to hate.

There's also a topic about "World Government" in one piece that f*** Korea into two lol.
