Episode description

We make the joke all the time that the most common trope of any anime, JRPG, or many other Japanese-created media is to ultimately kill God with the Power of FriendshipTM. But, why is that? Thanks to #buttthwompnation member "@Sharkbait" we present to you a liberal college-level course that answers that question with 2,000+ years of real-world Japanese history!
