Japan is definitely an amazing country… Freshly elected head of his party, Shigeru Ishiba will officially be the next Prime Minister of the archipelago. But the Internet has a memory: old photos of the politician disguised as Majin Boo have resurfaced, sparking hilarity on the social network static.hitek.fr/img/actualite/ill_m/1753134480/couvhitekjaponpremierministre.jpg” type=”image/jpg”>
Dragon Ball: Shigeru “Majin Boo” Ishiba, Elected Prime Minister of Japan
September 27, 2024 was a particularly anticipated date in Japan, as the second round of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) elections was taking place, which was to determine who, between veteran Shigeru Ishiba and the very conservative Sanae Takaichi, would lead the right-wing party. This election was all the more anticipated since the LDP party is the most powerful Japanese political party, having ruled the country since its creation in 1955. In other words, the leader designated by the election is called upon to become the next Prime Minister of Japan. With 215 votes to 194, Shigeru Ishiba won a great victory, after four unsuccessful attempts.
A party veteran who previously served as Minister of Agriculture between 2008 and 2009 and Minister of Defense between 2014 and 2017, Shigeru Ishiba has a full resume. However, old images of the politician have resurfaced. On the occasion of the inauguration of a figurine store, Shigeru Ishiba disguised himself as Majin Boo, one of the most powerful antagonists of the manga Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama, who later became a Z Warrior. These images created hilarity on social networks, the politician who will be sworn in as Prime Minister on October 1, 2024 affirmed that when an organizer of the inauguration ceremony handed him the costume, he did not have time to think before putting it on.
Of course, Japanese netizens took this opportunity to mock their next prime minister.

Ishiba makes a good Majin Boo. But I hope evil Boo doesn't destroy Japan.

As Mr. Ishiba, also known as Majin Boo, is appointed Prime Minister, I think we should be careful not to get transform into chocolate.

There is a politician called 'Majin Boo of Nagatachō'. He is Shigeru Ishiba, former Minister of Defense. We invited Mr. Ishiba to hotly debate the question: “Does having the appearance of Majin Boo really prevent one from becoming Prime Minister?”

Yūsuke Narita said, “When it comes to Mr. Ishiba, his Majin Boo cosplay is infamous as a part of his past. Mr. Ishiba's character in the Liberal Democratic Party is really like Majin Boo, between madness and destruction. It would be a good idea to make his policy speech in a Majin Boo costume. The world's media will definitely cover it, which could ultimately be beneficial for the country.”
石破が総理になったわけだが
魔人ブウって破壊神だったよな。伏線回収くるど。
ただ、トランプが大統領になった時も最初はこんなかんじだったけど・・無理か・・TTPNtAYCSeptember 27, 2024
Ishiba became prime minister, but Majin Boo was a god of destruction, right? It seems like the red thread is going to come true. However, when Trump became president, it also started like that… but maybe it was impossible…

Mr. Shigeru Ishiba appeared in cosplay of the character 'Majin Boo' from the famous manga 'Dragon Ball'. With the birth of Prime Minister Majin Boo, this photo is likely to become more and more popular…

I wonder how Mr. Ishiba will establish relations with the United States, China, South Korea, and North Korea. Will he be able to compete with Trump and Xi Jinping? He is said to be very pro-China… But hey, since he has the spirit of Majin Boo, maybe he can solve everything by force if necessary. Okay then! That's fine with me!

My wife said, 'In my friends' otaku circles, they welcome Mr. Ishiba with open arms. After all, it' is someone who cosplays Majin Boo!' That's right, now that I think about it, haha!
