In no way am I shocked by this. If Putins done anything he's helped revive the Russians as villains in fiction once more.

It's from a Manga called Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku or The Legend of Koizumi. It's about the ex-prime minister of Japan, Junichiro Koizumi, who battles other world leaders in a game of Mahjong. The manga includes chacters like George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, Pope Benedict XVI, Vladimir Putin and Super-Aryan-Bishonen Hitler.Lady Oiorpata wrote:Not getting the reference.Watchtower wrote:Please, Valiant, if you're going to go with Putin as a villain, you have to go all the way with it:
It's over the top nonsense and possibly the best story ever told, from what I have heard about it.
If you want to read a Mahjong-Battle-Manga this is it.
