This guy is full of it. Why? Because I'm the Emperor of Japan! Sure, I'm not Japanese but Anglo-Saxon; after all, Kublai Khan wasn't Chinese either, was he? No one can prove beyond all doubt that I'm not the Emperor of Japan. Hard to prove a negative. Sure, one might be able to come up with all sorts of arguments pertaining to the fact that I'm probably not the Emperor of Japan, but I would still be able to argue otherwise.

Actually, mitochondrial and other DNA analysis could easily disprove your claim to the Japanese throne. It wouldn't even be difficult.

Thank you for the reply...I was not aware of that prophecy...
According to Onodera, when foreign armies invaded Japan in the 1850’s and 1860’s, they found the Japanese government owned 3/4ths of the world’s known supply of silver.
Japan's monetary system, based on Tokugawa coinage, broke down. Traditionally, Japan's exchange rate between silver and gold was 1:5, whereas international rates were of the order of 1:15. This led to massive purchases of gold by foreigners, and ultimately forced the Japanese authorities to devalue their currency. There was a massive outflow of gold from Japan, as foreigners rushed to exchange their silver for "token" silver Japanese coinage and again exchange these against gold, giving a 200% profit to the transaction. In 1860, about 4 million ryōs thus left Japan, that is about 70 tons of gold. This effectively destroyed Japan's gold standard system, and forced it to return to weight-based system with International rates. The Bakufu instead responded to the crises by debasing the gold content of its coins by two thirds, so as to match foreign gold-silver exchange ratios
In order to get their hands on it, they supplied an impoverished Northern lineage with rifles that could shoot 400 meters while they sold the richer Southern “legitimate” lineage rifles that could only shoot 100 meters.
The symbol of the Northern Army’s flag was a 5-pointed star, the symbol of Lucifer, also known as Satan. The Southerners were massacred and foreign banking families got their hands on some of the treasure.
