===Fourth Term===
Abe's Fourth Term (2017-2021) saw numerous scandals regarding Abe and his administration, but nevertheless he was re-elected for one last term.
Only July 5th, 2020, Abe's proposed Article 9 revision referendum was held, 52.1% said Yes, while 47.9% said No. Abe convinced much of the populace by pointing out China's rising power, and the fact that despite the US' help, Japan will be practically helpless against them. The Diet voted on a bill that amended Article 9 and legitimized the JSDF, allowing the mobilization of it when it is viewed that Japan is in danger.
===Fifth Term===
Abe's corruption issues continued throughout his last term and ultimately cost him the 2025 election to the Forward coalition. He managed to further remilitarize Japan under the premises of needing it in case the event proposed in Article 9 ever comes to pass.
