Screencap
Stage 1: "What, the characters are drinking A&W Root Beer at an A&W restaurant? Honestly, I have seen hundreds of hours of anime and not once before have I seen any type of root beer anywhere, nor any other indication that A&W is a thing in Japan. Root beer is near-impossible to get in Norway, so how come A&W is apparently enough of a thing in Japan for the animators to displace the logo and expect it to be recognized? And if root beer is a thing in Japan, why have I never seen it in anime until now?"
Stage 2: "So the only A&W restaurants in Japan are in Okinawa Prefecture? Why only Okinawa of all places? Not too many people live there, you'd think if anywhere that the A&W restaurants would be in the bigger cities like Tokyo or whatever."
Stage 3: "The A&W restaurants in Okinawa initially targeted US service personnel, but gradually became popular among the locals? Honestly, how many American soldiers had to be on that island for how long for A&W to become established there? There's American soldiers in Norway too, but we don't have A&W."
Stage 4: "OK, so, very many American soldiers for a very long time. Like, literally a quarter of Okinawa is just American military bases still today, and Okinawa accounts for some 70% of all the US military presence in Japan. What do the locals of Okinawa think of that arrangement? Like, surely they must think that a quarter of the island being military bases is a bit excessive, right? Like there's so much you can do with that land that isn't so, you know, bellicose, right? It's just strange, isn't it?"
Stage 5: [was going to make a root beer float but just can't help but blankly stare at the A&W can and think about the American military bases in Okinawa]
Stage 6: "YANKS GET THE FUCK OUTTA UCHINAA!!! FREE RYUKYU FROM THE FOREIGN YOKE!!!"
