Notes

• The Japanese Self Defense Core is probably supposed to be the "Japanese Self Defense Corps", since that makes actual sense, or maybe even the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, which actually exists in real life, but someone was stupid. Minerva was in it, so we'll blame her. She makes a great scapegoat.
