2009: Lost Memories/YMMV

• Magnificent Bastard
  • Inoue, using the Manchurian-based artifact to mess up the timeline in the first place. His descendants control access to the crucial artifacts via the namesake's foundation.
  • Ito Hirobumi is assumed to be this himself. The movie implies that only the lack of his mere genius prevented Japan from entering the war on the Allied side, the nukage of Berlin instead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, participating in the space race entering the United Nations as a permanent member and still retaining its recently conquered colonies.
