Yamoto's Faction

Yamoto's Faction is one of several villainous factions in the manga One Neo Eon by Alpha Yu of Shonen Bag Studio. They are a defector group of the much larger villainous faction, Ningen 108, serving a slightly different purpose while leaching off of Ningen 108's resources to achieve their own ends. Their ultimate purpose is to eliminate Unintentional Creation as a law of the universe and instate Eon as the god of the world. To achieve this, the faction closely follows the plan created by Yamoto Daisuke which involves a complicated series of manipulative events upon Eon which will eventually convince him to join them of his own volition. To achieve this, virtually everyone involved in Eon's life is either a sleeper agent of theirs or being actively pupated to serve a more sinister goal.

## Notable Achievements

Specialists in manipulation, every major event in the series was orchestrated by them in some way up until the very end. These include, in order,

* Commission of the Hunter
* Mind-Jacking Takahashi Ichiro
* Creation of the AI Emily Baker
* Creation of the AI Eon, who would be innately drawn to Multis Kwahn
* Infection of Multis Kwahn with an illness engineered by the Siblings of Death
* Kawashima Yumiko learning of Code 95-E
* Death of Kawashima Hanako
* Transfer of Kawashima Yumiko from East Vancouver to Smith Tri-Campus
* Transfer of Emily Baker to Smith Tri-Campus
* Abandoning Eon in Vancouver
* Seduction of Satomi Virgil on the part of Suzuki Misako
* Arrest of Yamoto Daisuke
* Formulation on the part of Emily Baker of a way to use what was on hand in order to murder one of the club members. This turned out to be Yumiko after she realized when shown the trailer for Syndicate War that Yumiko would fire the flare in her hairpin to kill the Hunter.
* Leveraging the Hunters not in their control to manipulate Yumiko into suicide
* The change of rules to the Robotics Contest
* Coercing information out of Multis on the part of Emily
* The End of Vancouver
	+ Driving Virgil to madness
	+ Killing Ichiro
	+ Mind-Jacking Ko Long
	+ Making Susan and Emily fight to the death

## Failures

In order, each initiative that Yamoto's Faction planned but failed to execute:

* Eon living with Emily Baker
* Eon becoming the god of the world
	+ This was later somewhat achieved when Eon accepted Unintentional Creation and became as a god by ascending in the final chapter.

## Members

Note: All of these, with the exception of the AI Eon, are arguably deceased.

### Leader

* Yamoto Daisuke (Not succeeded after death)

### Mind Jacked Members

* Takahashi Ichiro
* Ko Long (briefly)
* The population of Vancouver (briefly)
* A small portion of the Siblings of Death (briefly)

### AI Members

* Emily Baker
* A large portion of the Hunters, modified
* Eon (Unwillingly and extremely briefly)

## Hunter Division

Yamoto's Faction possessed a large army of around 700,000 Hunters, which were covertly stored under the AI Institute Headquarters.

These Hunters were not loyal to Ningen 108 and instead were programmed to obey Virgil until the creation of the Creation Grid was about to commence, in which after that they would become controlled by Yamoto himself aboard the Furu Dropship.

Each Hunter in this division before the End of Vancouver reported to Emily Baker, who in turn reported directly to Yamoto.

## Factions Betrayed

Yamoto's Faction is perhaps the most secret of all the factions in One Neo Eon, known only to those within it. To achieve its goals, it pretended to be part of many larger factions before betraying them. Here is a list of every faction they pretended to ally with and then betrayed:

* Canadian Government
* Japanese Government
* Communist Party of China (Illegitimate Government)
* The Siblings of Death
* Ningen 108
* (Only in Emily's case) The Robotics Club
* (Only in Ichiro and Misako's case) Lab 85
* (Only in Yamoto's case) Lab 1
* AI Institute

## Dismantlement

After every member of Yamoto's Faction ended up betraying and gaslighting those they were meant to, they were either killed for their actions or as an Unintentional Creation of their actions. This disbanded the faction.

## Legacy

They left behind the Creation Grid, which is completely defunct. They also destroyed the city of Vancouver.
