Sindicate War

The Sindicate War (罪罰戦争) was a conflict directed against the Sindicate of Moonless Night, the last remaining patch of the Incubus Faction led by the Incubus King, by the forces of the Earth. Its events are the central focus within the film Tatsura and Wataru: Celestial Rebirth.

The war started through the culmination of three simultaneous crises: an invasion on Earth by the Brain Flayers, Campbellians and Boazanians due to the presence of Queen Eggs on the planet, an attack on Manhattan in New York, Shibuya in Tokyo and the Old City in Jerusalem by various supervillains, and an occupation of Berlin and the eastern portion of Germany by the Fourth Reich, a neo-Nazi faction influenced by the Sindicate. These series of occurrences, plus the fact that the fleet of Ichirou Tachibana, King of the Earth, and much of the primary fighting force of the Justice Alliance were on an intergalactic expedition, forced the Japanese government to give Shiranui Mizuki, who previously had herself rescued and pretended to have switched sides back to the Taimanin, becoming their acting supreme commander due to Asagi Igawa being out commission due to a previous battle, immediate command over the Japanese armed forces and Earth Defense Force military. Things took a turn for the worse when Shiranui, without warning, revealed her hand and not only overthrew the government on behalf of the Incubus King and began invading the rest of Asia, but also activated the Planetary Defense Shield so that the Brain Flayers, the alien fleets nor the superheroes and human forces that were sent up on Earth's orbit to stop them could not enter the planet.

The conflict escalated when Yomihara was raised from underground onto Tokyo so that the ritual to awaken The Darkness Itself could begin. The war saw its end, as did the Sindicate, when the combined forces of the EDF, Taimanin, Justice Alliance, Young Braves Brigade and the Six Worlds of Fragment-Hexa vanquished the Incubus King and Nanashi-no-Yami, saving the Earth and the universe from being reduced into total darkness and ending the decades-long saga of conflict and loss that has loomed over the Mizuki and Akiyama clans for generations.
