Yamato is also pretty overpowered! I forget what the term was but all the mask wearers are pretty busted.
Also how much of a role has the Mikado played so far? Can't remember the order in which things happen but depending on what you know about him/his motives there's other things to be said there.
The masks (Akukra or something, spelling might be off) are the only thing that give them a chance here lol. But given some of the backgrounds in Haku's flashbacks I think they're running with those copies the scientists were trying to make whereas Tuskur has dealt with the OG. I mean, mind you, the masks are still silly powerful given what they did when they put down that other invasion but atm I think only Oshtor and Vurai are in the capital and their powers seem to be "turn into giant monsters" which is like the one power I think would be least helpful if Karalau and Touka cared to start something. Mikazuchi and Munechika's seem a lot trickier! ...Also like... Tuskur is shown to be the whole island now so like... do they have the mechs now too? I still maintain that Camyu could just call in a satellite strike and glass Yamato from orbit if she really wanted to but obviously I don't actually expect that... I just don't think there's any reason she couldn't. Pretty sure those are still around! The two nations are being portrayed as something close to evenly matched so far, with Tuskur having the upper hand tactically so far but it's really only just started. I stopped when Haku's team landed to bring emergency supplies and Kuon blew their cover. I'm on the battle prep screen for that. I just don't really think they should be if Tuskur went total war on them. Those dorks are too nice though and probably never would tho.
As for the Mikado. Haku's been meeting him in his "Mito" disguise for a while but their meeting before last he dropped the reveal bomb on Haku that he's his older brother, confirmed the Tatari = Humanity thing Haku was trying to ignore, explained that as far as he knows they're the only ones left that haven't been transformed, and how he became the leader of Yamato, and also he thinks his lifespan is about to run out and wants Haku to inherit his legacy. Then their last meeting he explains he's invading Tuskur because he thinks they've got a critical ruin that can give him the answers to his "save humanity" project but negotiations to gain access went nowhere so he's decided he has to conquer them to get there. ...Not sure he'd like what he'd find if he succeeded though! Uitsunemetia probably not someone he should poke!
