The **Fuuma Rebellion** (ふうま一族の乱, *Fūma Ichizoku no Ran*?) was an insurrection that occured throughout the summer of 2027 between the Fuuma clan led by Danjou Fuuma and the Igawa clan led by Asagi Igawa and her allies.

## Background

The Fuuma clan was the largest of the families within Taimanin faction in Japan, composed of several subordinate clans, allies and subsidiaries, and ruled the whole faction for centuries. However, the clan was seen as selfish and un-heroic and followed an antiquated "clan first" policy, which led to tensions with other Taimanin cliques and the Japanese government. In the decades before the 21st Century, less moral and more corrupt leaders rose to power that were involved in extreme, outdated and/or criminal actions and caused leadership issues within the clan itself. During the turn of the new millennium, revelations on the corruption of the Fuuma leadership caused the Fuuma clan to fall out from favor from the Japanese government, that then chose the more modern and moral Igawa clan to be the new leaders of the Taimanin and representatives, through the request of Jinra Igawa, the clan's elder and his ally, Section Three leader Nobushige Yamamoto.

## The Rebellion

### Fuuma's Hand Forced

A year of the similarly ill-fated Igawa Rebellion, in the start of summer of 2027, the head of the Fuuma clan, Danjou Fuuma and eight sub-clans under his leadership known as the Eight Generals Fuuma, started the rebellion against the Japanese government that have phased out the Fuuma clan for years in favor of the Igawa clan, their goal being to remove them as leaders of the Taimanin, overthrow the government and install Danjou as the new dictator of Japan.

### The Alliance Gets Pulled In

At that same year, due to rising anti-superhero sentiment in the international community, the Japanese government passed a Code of Superhuman Registration, following a United Nations General Assembly Resolution that mandated every nation to have a law that regulated and restricted the actions of superhumen individuals in a country through registration and surveillance by its government. The majority of the Justice Alliance, the largest superhuman organization in Japan after the Taimanin, opposed the passing of the Code. Danjou saw the opposition of the Alliance to the passing of the law as an opportunity to bring them to his cause.

## Casualties and Losses

The rebellion saw massive losses for the Fuuma clan and its subordinate families, especially in leadership, which included the head Danjou Fuuma, who was killed in his fight against Asagi Igawa and Ichirou Tachibana.

## Aftermath

As a result of the conflict, the reputation of the Fuuma clan had been completely tarnished in the eyes of the Japanese government and other Taimanin. To gain amnesty for their participation in the revolt, the remaining members of the Fuuma remained in Gosha Village, among those are Danjou's children, Tokiko Fuuma and Kotaro Fuuma, who would grow up, resenting his father deeply for his actions, and become the new head. However, a small part of the clan refused to acknowledge defeat and joined the UFS division of the Earth Defense Force. Almost eight years later, in 2035, Gaiza Nisha, a former friend of Kotaro, started a second revolt, formed the Nisha Ninja Army and left the Taimanin, after a failed skirmish in the Gosha Village in an attempt to take over the clan.
