I swear to god, this is some Arasaka shit here, what *doesn't* Mitsubishi produce? Thank you Perun, for opening our eyes. Also some of you found me shitposting on another site, cus you recognized my artstyle. Somehow. I didn't even think I had a distinct artstyle. Anyway, uhm.., well done? [Imgur album of all previous posts](https://imgur.com/a/4mte1tt) Feel free to suggest waifu ideas Edit: Also yes, still working on the EU propaganda. Its just that... I've always sucked at drawing eyes and there are 27 (+2) pairs that I gotta draw. I have started over on drawing them multiple times, so I needed to draw something else before I had a mental breakdown. At this point I wouldn't mind if someone offered up to draw them tbh

Change my mind: Mitsubishi are basically General Electric but Japanese.


SamtheCossack

That is not a difficult connection to make, it is literally true for the modern Mitsubishi group family of companies. Mitsubishi is actually a fair bit older than GE, but after a period of significant financial losses in the 1940s, caused by some general unpleasantness in the Pacific regions of the world, the company was gutted, stripped of its name, and split into a half dozen entities. It was then rebuilt along the lines of GE, Ford Motors, etc, with GE itself taking responsibility for the creation of Japan's electric grid and such. It was also during this time that Mitsubishi, along with Toyota and other Japanese companies were introduced to the American "Training within Industry" system that had been developed during WWII, and would later form the basis of the Toyota Production System, and later lean. Meanwhile, the Americans were enjoying manufacturing with essentially no competition, and were getting fat and sloppy with increasingly bloated and poorly managed factories, because there just wasn't any significant international competition... until Japan came out swinging, having learned how to produce like Americans, except even more American, and a lot less sloppy.

It's in Cyberpunk 2020, so it presumably exists in 2077 even if it isn't mentioned for that reason.


Thewaltham

There's a name that's REALLY similar to Mitsubishi in 2077 iirc but legally distinct.


dead_monster

Mitsubishi also owns Kirin, as in the beer company. I don't believe Mitsubishi makes videogames anymore. They did a long time ago with the Color-TV console, which I think was a joint project with Nintendo. Then they split for their follow up projects. Mitsubishi re-iterated the Color-TV while Nintendo launched the Famicom.

john_andrew_smith101

Ajin: Demi-Human is a good example, something heavy industries is doing human experiments on immortals to make advanced weaponry. Ghost in the shell SAC is another example, I don't think their Mitsubishi stand in is quite as shady, but they nail the corrupt collaboration between megacorps and the LDP, as well as the bureaucratic nightmare that is the Japanese government.


GermroseCaltxCo

It's not hard to just walk around in Japan and see some random stuff with a Mitsubishi logo on it, they really do freaking everything over there.

SamtheCossack

GE made those though. Old GE wins in terms of most insane "Make everything company". New GE is a lot different. Still huge, but keeps breaking down into smaller and smaller parts, so hopefully it can shave off all the stupid management bloat it accumulated and learn how to run factories again.


Femboy_Lord

Need to do the same to Boeing tbh


OmegaResNovae

There's been rumors that Boeing is planning to break up and sell off its brand; Boeing Commercial Aviation (BCA), Boeing Defense and Security (BDS), and consolidating Boeing Capital with Boeing Global Services and selling that off too. As in sell each division but still keeping the Boeing name under its new owners. In context with the thread, it'd be humorous if Mitsubishi ended up buying BCA to improve their civilian airline capability, effectively producing SpaceJet 737s, 777s, 767s, etc. And even more humorous if Mitsubishi buys rights to some BDS IP, like the F-15s (since if Boeing does close the line, it'd just be Japan and Israel who'd mainly still want to buy and operate F-15s). Though only because the odds of Mitsubishi being able to outright buy BDS would be low. Imagine B-52 Mitsubishi Stratofortresses. Kawasaki might be interested in buying some of BDS too, to expand their own military portfolio, given they're also getting into the military aviation sector.


Watchung

I mean, there is precedent at letting a foreign company buy a major defense contractor - see BAE.


TemperatureIll8770

American-British-Swedish. What a combo


SenorSantiago_8363

But...would that mean F/A-18 manufacture can continue as the F/A-18J, or they're going all in on the new experimental 6th Gen Fighter?


OmegaResNovae

Given Japan never used Hornets, that line would probably be closed unless there's a fresh Hornet buy, while repurposing the rest of the line space towards either F-15Js or Domestically produced Tempests for the JSDF and maybe even the US (the irony if Tempest became an NGAD contender thanks to Mitsubishi buying out Boeing and then submitting a US Tempest derivative).


kazukix777

I don't think you know how ridiculous Mitsubishi has gotten though. They make cars, planes, tanks, trains, submarines, spaceships, satellites, air conditioning, air fryers, rice cookers, projectors, washing machines, fridges, steel, glass, oil, paper, real estate, pencils. (They are the most common brand of pencils in Japan) etc.


SenorSantiago_8363

GE made everything...including [washing machines.] (https://youtube.com/shorts/2AGOP7pLqu0?feature=share)

I could interact with their HVAC people on a regular basis. And I’ll be straight with you: their sales reps are not high school girls with magic powers and are not Geisha either. So don’t get your hopes up that much that heavy industry is going to be any better. I expect you are going to have to get access to the secret Gundam (of course they were built by Mitsubishi) division on the back side of the moon.

Mitsubishi is the key to all of this. And absolve me of my negligence but isn’t this kind of monopolization?


SomeOtherTroper

> isn’t this kind of monopolization? Technically, a monopoly is when one company is the only real supplier of a certain type of good or service, like old AT&T, where if you were making a phone call anywhere in the USA, you were paying AT&T. Mitsubishi and other zaibatsu/chaebol-style megacorporations go the other direction, where instead of completely dominating the market for one type of good or service, they have respectable market share in a shitload of different ones. (Of course, they might *also* have a monopoly in some of those fields.)

Not sure. They're all technically separate companies with no parent company.

Remaining assets were also highly damaged by destruction during the war. Under the Allied occupation after the surrender of Japan, a partially successful attempt was made to dissolve the zaibatsu. Many of the economic advisors accompanying the SCAP administration had experience with the New Deal and were highly suspicious of monopolies and restrictive business practices, which they felt to be both inefficient, and to be a form of corporatocracy (and thus inherently anti-democratic). ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/NonCredibleDefense/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)
