    The current Japanese prime minister is an idiot, but I thought it couldn't be this bad for her to say some sort of power quote, shame on them for looking weird as she represents her country by saying something like "believe in yourself like [manga character]".
    Then the quote was:

    Just shut your mouths. Invest everything in me!

    It was "this bad" after all.

    The ironic thing is that the character she's referencing also ends up turning his own country into a fascist dictatorship.

    And right after he said this exact quote he was almost shot by the MO but was beaten by Levi instead.

    That's the exact opposite of irony considering the fact that that's her goal as well.

    Also fucking dooms it by "pissing" everyone not on the island off, leading to it getting bombed, invaded, and probably nuked into oblivion.

    Listen to this article 1 min Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Monday called for investment in Japan at a Saudi Arabia-led international financial conference, quoting a famous line from the popular manga series "Attack on Titan." After mentioning the popularity of Japanese manga and anime in Saudi Arabia, Takaichi quoted the line in her speech: "Just shut your mouths. Invest everything in me!"

    "I think you understand what I would like to ask," the prime minister said. "Japan is back. Invest in Japan."

    During the subsequent question-and-answer session, Takaichi stressed that her government aims to boost Japan's economic growth potential and confidence in its fiscal management simultaneously, by achieving a strong economy through strategic fiscal spending and steadily improving debt indicators.

    The Future Investment Initiative conference, dubbed "Davos in the Desert," was held in Japan for the first time, marking the 70th year since Japan and Saudi Arabia established their diplomatic relations.

    More than 1,000 corporate executives and others from Japan and abroad participated in the conference. Speakers at the event included SoftBank Group Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son.
