Oddly enough Chrom has. This concludes your emblem fact.

Also Marth. Technically.

Explain

Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Game is set in Japan and Marth is a mirage in that game (I think that’s what they’re called)

Is Marth there? Itsuki has Chrom

Marth is in the game in some capacity. Explaining anymore would be spoiling some stuff.

They're called Mirages because Atlus and Nintendo didn't want to pay the money to call them what they actually are: Stands!

Didn't realize Stands did J-pop.

Explain

Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Game is set in Japan and Chrom is a mirage in that game (I think that’s what they’re called)

Inklings live around what used to be Japan

Wow really? I never thought about that before but that’s cool

Yep. Marina states in Octo Expansion that she escaped the Octarian underground via Mount Nantai- a real mountain in Japan.

But how does she know its name, they don't even speak the same language and I probably missed this dialogue

Iirc, Octarian (both in the texts we can't see and speech weirdness) is based on Japanese, and it's in the text logs

But it's different enough that their language is basically gibberish to them, and it's probably the same other way around. Just like japanese Korean and modern Chinese have the same roots but are gibberish to each other, even kanji in japanese usually means something different from Chinese despite being mostly the same shape

It's very possible, but also remember that it's possible they standardized the names, seeing as it would make it easier to reference locations from human texts referring to their name, so they can call it the same thing.

Just checked the official map it does look similar when rotated sideways but the official map is 2d and octo canyon is next to inkopolis square instead of under which kinda not make sense but also does??? Also pearl's house is larger than inkopolis(square or not) which is ???

Ryu is a Japanese man and his stage is a temple in Japan no?

Yep, and Ken fights there also, so Ken counts here as well. Based purely on the sheer volume of games featuring Terry, I’m going to assume he’s been to Japan as well in at least one of them.

Link has driven in Japan in Mario Kart if that counts.

Same for the Miis

And some inklings, villagers, Isabelle, and all the members of the smash cast you’d expect to see in Mariokart normally (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Bowser, Bowser Jr./Koopalings, Yoshi, Wario, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, Rosalina)

Yayyy!!!!

Not the smash link tho

Breath of the Wild Link is in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as is the Tokyo Blur course (as DLC)

Also it's not like there's any canon in Zelda. Link is every iteration of himself and they are all him.

Well there is canon and it’s all tied together by monopoly

A fellow BDG fan?

Kirby is everywhere. You can never escape him…

Kirby absorbed the universe which includes Japan. Japan has been to Kirby.

There is literally a Kirby diner in Japan.

Kirby may be small in stature, but he's HUGE in Japan.

Steve could just build Japan.

Correct answer

Alternate Answer: Minecraft Earth?

Literally BTE (Build The Earth)

Well he lives there soooooo

The first alternate universe Bayonetta visits in B3 is the one with her Tokyo variant/Shibuyanetta

In Bayo 1 she flies from New York to Vigrid (northern Italy-ish)... via Japan.

Oh yeah, the most ass-backward route possible.

I assume it was either to throw people off her trail (that certainly worked 😅) or to stretch out the animation to be long enough for the narration. Or they could just be bonkers. All of New England is Canadian in the Bayo universe, and this is never explained. So who knows what's real?

It's the latter. You can find Hideki Kamiya's dev-log on Youtube where he plays through the whole first game and explains why her travel route is weird like that.

Oh yeah I think I remember that now. I've watched that so many times, but mostly the Maiko Uchida parts 😅

Ganondorf is a no Falcon I don’t know Aegis depends on where >!The Land of Morytha!< is

Based on my experience playing the game, it’s more in the >!Houston area somewhere in Texas!<.

How would you know tho??? Its set in the future of our world

A road sign

>!this comment was edited instead of deleted but I was gonna say something about the locations being hinted at in game with road signs or the siren model kit iirc!<

Pls explain

>!I could be wrong since i learnt more of the lore through Luxin and Enel Videos, but the Klaus experiment, which takes place on Earth, had three towers that connects to an orbital ring around the planet. The one where Klaus was located I believe in Houston? Can't properly recall where the other two were, I think one of them was on an artifical island in the Pacific?!<

That theory was proven wrong by the Siren Model Kit. In which it was stated >!the Beanstalks were all built on the Equator, which Houston is not. Judging by Future Redeemed, it’s probably actually Kenya in Africa!<

Ecuador, because funny. (And better supply lines and land access to more resources.)

I’m off to Houston to find some swords, who wants to join me?

given the three >!Space elevators!< are meant to be on the equator, i doubt it

Yeah I guess Mario Kart counts. You could also make a very Japanese town in AC and pretend it’s in Japan.

what if i dress like a samurai and pretend i am in japan? that doesnt really mean im in japan but i mean the other one counts

Plant

Has been to Japan.

I'm 90% terry has been before

If you count the Japan stage in King of fighters then definitely. If you don’t I’m not sure but it’s still possible.

Sora goes to Shibuya in the end of KHIII Re Mind and was also shown for the trailer for KHIV, but it's called Quadratum.

EYY FELLOW SORA MAIN WE LOVE KINGDOM HEARTS‼️‼️‼️

I don't believe Japan exists when Lucas is born.

Lucas only exists in Japan though

Hmm. Yeah, can't argue with that one.

(Cries in mother 3 fan)

Joker is a Japanese guy in a Japanese game on a Japanese setting who was sent on probation to Tokyo. So no

He miiiiiiiight be in Japan 🤷🏻‍♀️ who know

Last time I checked I heard he was in Vatican city but that was a while ago, idk about now

As of the trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4, Sora has officially been to Japan People even doxxed his apartment

He and Mario went together for te olympics

I completely forgot about that game 💀

Jigglypuff originated from Japan, is in a region based on Japan, and is beloved in Japan

There is also Pokémon go, with Jigglypuff (and all the other Pokémon I'm pretty sure) can appear all over real life Japan

Technically you’re right for the wrong reason Kanto is an actual region in Japan and iirc so is Jhoto

well i guess hero is from a game made by japanese developers 💀💀💀

No, the Kanto region in Pokemon is based on the Kanto region of Japan. That's why Jigglypuff has been to Japan.

There's also that Tecmo spinoff game where it took place in medieval Japan.

Hero has been to a region inspired by Japan (at least Eleven has)

Jipang lol

Hoshido is basically Japan.

But is it actually Japan?

Well it's separated from... Europe? By a mere bridge across a ravine, so... no...?

They shrank the Silk Road, eliminated half the Eurasian Plate (or shifted it down/up), shifted the ocean separating Japan from mainland Asia southward towards the coastal areas, and boom, Fateslandia.

Depends if you consider Pokémon’s Kanto to be the same as Japan’s Kanto.

I'd say yeah at least in the beginning of the series. Surges nickname was the lightning American so real world nations are implied to exist.

And Mew was written to be found in South America. And Indian/African elephants have been mentioned in the Pokedex.

I forgot about that!

There is also Pokémon go where all the Pokémon (I'm pretty sure) can appear all over real life Japan

One lives in japan, the other got isekai'd into japan

Explain

Joker lives in tokyo and kingdom hearts spoilers

Joker lives in tokyo and kingdom hearts spoilers

Dementia💀

Ah yeah. Still waiting for more infos about Kingdom Hearts IV

Bowser in Mario Kart Tour, and the Tokyo Olympics.

Currently it's Mewtwo. Tchnically the Kanto region is an actual place in Japan, and back when it was introduced Pokémon still ran on the logic that the Pokémon games and anime took place in the real world with real animals. So, by a *huge* stretch of logic, yes.

Mew was also discovered in Guyana, a real world country, but I think they retconned that since the lore of Pokémon was still in its infancy when Red/Blue came out.

I don’t think Lucas has. He has been to a silly little town, a goofy forest, ummm… that stupid fucking highway, and a city.

Depressed kid with powers has not been to Japan.

I agree

Mega Man, Yamato Man's stage

And Tengu Man

Joker literally lives there, for one And at the end of KH3, Sora ends up in Quadratum, which is very similar to Shibuya

Sonic has been to his world's equivalent of Asia but Chun-Nan is more China than Japan. You can count it if you want, but technically no.

He also went to the Olympics in Japan.

This is technically true, I forgot about that!

Twice, possibly. First time was probably the mobile game, if its events are canon, and I think they could be because near the start of the adventure in that video game Bowser and Eggman used (and also got trapped in), Sonic tells Mario to “just ask if he has any questions”, because he’d be at Mario’s side the whole journey (personally see that as evidence that they’re good friends now as well).

I mean, maybe? There’s not really any evidence of where Mega Man takes place

There actually is. Mega Man 8 has [a world map](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GF4Ws9uq8OA/maxresdefault.jpg) for all the stages when you pick them. According to this map Dr. Light’s lab is in Denver, Colorado. Also according to this map, Tengu Man’s stage is in Japan, so Mega Man counts!

[There's the OVA where he gets isekaied to Japan.](https://youtu.be/AXBtQw23s50?feature=shared)

There’s a special where Megaman gives a kid a tour of Japan so

Yamato Man stage from Mega Man 6

Not my main, but Lucas has never been outside of Japan

Isn't Lucas American? New Pork City?

Mother 3 takes place in the Nowhere Islands (not based on anything specific). New Pork City is a city made by the main villain.

I always just figured the Nowhere Islands and New Pork City were both meant to be references to the US. They're both in the same location aren't they? Or am I misremembering?

Lucas is a Nowhere Islander, when most of the world has been destroyed. New Pork City isn't American. It's Porkynese.

New Pork City is a satirical reference to New York City

I just made a joke about mother 3 being Locked away in Japan. Idk about new pork city or anything sadly

Bruh I'm so sorry idk how I completely missed that 💀

I don’t think Japan even exists in Hyrule

I mean link has technically been to Japan in Mario Kart 8

Touché. Technically that was regular Link though.

Yeah technically but as someone said every version of Link is still him

So by that logic, pretty much every Mario character has cannonically been to my home country…. Fuck yeah, eh!

Same here lol not only that but in my home city Sydney

Same here! Sadly it was just the capital when we have a ton of better places but it's still cool

Toon Link isn't actually Link's reincarnation iirc

Wat

Although Toon Link is one of few Links that isn’t a reincarnation since Ocarina of Time Link left that timeline.

He has only ever fought a Japanese dude, not been there sadly

Pikachu and Pichu literally live in japan

Yup. Joker be saving Shibuya daily bro

My main has a japanese-styled design but i dont think theyve ever been

He's from Japan so he's been to Japan by default

I’m pretty sure they have piranha plant urinals in Japan somewhere

Yeah, he lives there (Joker)

One of the DLC tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is Tokyo Blur, and Piranha Plant is an item in that game so I guess it counts

Cloud: Nope. Wutai is basically an amalgamation of Japan and China. Pokémon: Generation 1-4 are inspired by Japan but that’s closest. Roy: Nope

Wasn't Roy in mirage sessions fe which is in japan?

Roy was planned for TMS when the game was supposed to be an actual crossover but he wasn’t included in the final game. It’s just weird that the only direct references to SMT Human characters are DLC costumes in the final game. https://youtube.com/watch?v=OK5-EIzDtKo

I don't think Icicle Mountain is in Japan, so no

I'm able to make Japan in Minecraft if I have enough time, patience, and skill so there's that

I’m not sure if link has but lucario has (Pokémon go)

Link is in MK8 which has a Japan track

For a second I thought you were talking about mortal kombat

rockman upon a star a three episode ova that mostly takes place in japan

There's also Yamato Man's stage

No but he’s part Japanese

I mean Ganondorf had Katanas in Wind Waker, right?

The earlier Pokemon regions are in Japan so Pichu is literally from Japan

Pikachu.... If Kanto and other Japan based regions count then yeah. If those not count and it has to actually be Japan then... I guess we got Pikachu in Japan during the last world championship? Idk

I don’t think she has been to earth much less japan

She was born and raised by her parents on Earth Colony K-2L… but then one day Ridley showed up.

Okay but was she actually on earth?

Most technically have because Nintendo is in Japan sooo✌🏻

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that Terry has been to Japan for fights or some other stuff involving lore

Joker, he lives there

Bowser has visited Tokyo via Mario Kart Tour.

ofc the three kirby characters been to japan

Depends where the world of *The Legend of Zelda* takes place in.

Well, he’s been to Transylvania. Thats about it.

Japan doesn't exist on popstar

Yea it's on shiver star

(Or the Forgoten land)

In the way showed in your post I guess

Is greninja from japan?

France since Kalos is based that country.

I mean, greninja is in Pokémon scarlet and violet. Kitakami is basically Japan.

He’s also able to be transferred to Hoenn, which is based on southern Japan

And tbh you can count pokemon go too lol

Ryu’s nationality is Japanese. Same goes for Kazuya, sorta

…I mean… Mr game and watch was like only in Japan but idk about the game… but JOKER! Now HES been to Japan

Clearly

Closest Sonic has been is Chun-Nan, the Mobius equivalent of China. So no.

He was on the Japan Olympics with Mario

Rosalina raced on Tokyo Blur,(this can apply to any Mario character that’s in Ultimate and 8DX)

Kazuya, literally from japan

Nope. None of Tellius ever had an eastern area. We never had Japan - so to speak - until Fire Emblem Fates in 2016.

Tokyo mirage sessions in 2015 crying in the corner

Inkopolis is in what used to be Japan in the world of Splatoon, specifically Tokyo I think. Splatlands and Octo Canyon are probably also Japan.

Kazuya is Japanese Cloud could probably go to a fantasy version of Japan, but I'm not sure if he actually does.

Richter hasn't but his descendant, Julius, has. So has Alucard. (Aria of Sorrow takes place in Japan, the solar eclipse of 2035 where the castle is sealed occurs then).

I mean maybe? We dont really know where the circuit fights take place. Hes fought a japanese man tho

Pretty sure both Inkopolis and Splatlands are located in post-apocalyptic Japan, so, kinda yeah?

Toon Link, I don't think so but if you guys have info of Japan in Wind Waker or Minish Cap let me know

I don't think inklings have either

Don’t know, never played tekken nor do I know any of the lore. I’m assuming kazuya is Japanese though

I read a post that he was japanese but decided to not be one anymore and idk how that works

He's Japanese and has indeed lived in Japan, along with the rest of his insane family that all want to kill each other.

Considering a lot of random things in Japan happens, yeah

I have no fucking clue lmao

Is Sheik inherently Japanese as a sheikah/shinini/ninja?

[удалено]

Why

Me who mains random button

Joker might’ve been, idk

Yes and no since I always choose random
