Interesting use of the "rising sun" effect on their cartoon Jayhawk. Why stop there -- did they forget how to draw a swastika? Does the Jayhawk not translate well into a Nazi eagle? Don't they risk running the whole "Jayhawks = war criminals" thing into the ground?
The Rising Sun Flag (??? Kyokujitsu-ki?) is the military flag of Japan. It was used as the war flag of the Imperial Japanese Army and the ensign of the Imperial Japanese Navy until the end of World War II. As it was heavily used during the colonization of East Asia in the first-half of the 20th century, it is seen offensive to countries that were under control of Japan at that time, especially because of the war crimes they performed.
