Death of Kareastikuru

Kareastikuru, the Garmadon Town-born Ninjagoan politician who was the Emperor of the Empire of Ninjago from June 2020 to September 2020, and Emperor of the Second Ninjagoan Empire from May 2021 to September 2021, was assassinated in the Great Imperial Palace. The body was immedietly sent for medical analysis and later investigated by the Kempeitai. While first being suspected to have died of old age, it had been unlikely, as Kareastikuru had been in great condition prior to his death. After a serious investigation, a rare poison was found in Kareastikuru. Regent Clouse of Ninjago quickly came to the conclusion it had been Myjohania's doing and broadcasted it on the Kōgeki-sha. At the end of the broadcast, he even threatened with war.
While the story of Kareastikuru being poisoned is true, the perpetrator(s) are still unknown. Jay Gordon, a self-described anti-Johanianite, does not believe the theory that Myjohanians poisoned Kareastikuru, as it would have been 'impossible', saying: "Myjohanian's stationary officials closest to the Great Imperial Palace, are in Ninjago City and Karafuto, which is many chunks away from Karushu". Many of the anti-Kareastikuru faction and hardcore Ninjagoists have however stated their ideas as to how Myjohanians possibly had posioned Kareastikuru. This includes posioned tribute, using drones or precise infiltration using a Myjohanian-friendly Ninjagoan within the Royal Guard. The idea of Myjohanians being responsible have gained traction in Ninjago, and made Ninjago-Myjohania relations deteriorate. The Myjohanian Union rejects all claims of being responisble of the murder. Ministers of Myjohania has, admist all this, remained friendly, even congratulating Kareastikuru's birthday 10 January 2022 as well as hosting a parade in order to honor him in Garmadon Town.
Some believe the anti-Kareastikuru faction is to blame. Despite the name, the faction has many times said they like Kareastikuru, but states that he had grown soft. Their whole political point has been to replace Kareastikuru with someone more radical. Regent Clouse had at many times prior to Kareastikuru's death, stated that he want a war against Myjohania to "retake" the Myjohanian pacific territories. Many links this to his broadcast, where he threatened Myjohania with war.
Others believe Kareastikuru may be alive, as he had previously died once before. Some, for religious reasons. Others speculate he might be recreated, as Ninjago are highly developed in cloning and Nindroid tech. 
The news of Kareastikuru's death was announced to Ninjago on 9 September 2021, the day after its occurrence.
