My attempt to avoid spoilers through vagueness resulted in interesting ambiguity! Who'd've thunk it?
"Are you really content with what Kasshu's won? Four years, and then back to the bottom of the heap? Think about it."
"No." Japan had an impulse to draw his sword, even if only for symbolism, but it was locked firmly in the chest at home. "No."
"Don't you ever long for the past, Japan? Don't you ever remember what it felt like to be an empire? Think about what you used to be!"
Japan remembered China's warm blood soaking him, the sound of Korea's sobbing, America's utterly shattered expression, Germany's silent back.
-Yamato, I'm going to make you big, you understand? With me at the top, you will grow to be greater than anyone else in the world!-
"It is because I remember what I used to be," he said, "that I tell you this. I will never do what you are asking."
"But-"
"I truly like an unguarded England-san, and a gently smiling America-san, and...and also, the taste of Hong Kong-san's barbecue baozi. If growing into an empire again would mean losing all of the good changes, then I could never want it. Try to crush the happiness we've built, and the entirety of this wide world will stand against you, myself included."
-See, Japan? Of course you'll be able to get along with everyone!-

O-Oh my god. This prompt was amazing, I'd forgotten how many countries were involved with the Gundam fight, and you just took it and made it even more sljfldjf parts 5 and 6 just slew me, and I'm not normally a fan of Japan. What a wonderful fill--I love your Japan, and I love how far he's come (and then ;;). Thanks so much for writing this for us. ♥

There was a slap.
"I am speaking for Japan."
