A new Timeline detail, especially since I always wanted to add 'Saber Marionette' to this setting and just didn't knew how.
I can also blame in a way the 'Sengoku Jieitai' miniseries (go YouTube it-expect a 'Wild Bunch' ending, though).
THE SECOND BATTLE OF SEKIGAHARA.
This is entirely the fault of the Warner Brothers (and Sister).
In an Alternate Universe of the 'Saber Marionette' series, the Shogun of Japoness, Ieyasu Tokugawa the Fifth, had managed to join all the city-states of Terra-2 in an effort to contact Earth. The signal went thru the time/space phenomena that was created by CLULESS and reached a radio telescope in Coreline Japan.
Unfortunately, at the time the radio telescope in question was being pestered by American 'Toons (the casts of 'Animaniacs', 'Freakazoid' and 'Tiny Toons') and those who picked up the phone were the Warners.
In proper Animaniac fashion, in the space of five minutes of exasperating conversation, they turned what was a peaceful first contact into a declaration of war that the Warners DARED them to make a reality.
And the Terra-2 governments were true to their word. Their best scientists (actually, Dr. Hess from Gartland) managed to replicate CLULESS' phenomena, and a large army of Marionettes, regular soldiers and Hess' superweapons went thru it, appearing in the town of Sekigahara.
The following ground battle lasted two whole days, with large casualties on both sides (500 JSDF troops, 300 troops from other nations, 2050 Terra-2 human soldiers and countless destruction of equipment, property, Marionettes, 'Autonomous Systems' (Boomers and the like) and wandering civilians) before the Terra-2 leaders were forced to surrender.
As a result, relationships between Terra-2 and Coreline are pretty strained (and will be for some time), Japan has boycotted everything Steven Spielberg (or, at least, cartoons he had some hand with or were produced by Amblin) and the F-SWTI has issued a world-wide APB on Dr. Hess (who escaped to Coreline during the battle).
