The **Ninja-Johano war** was a series of conflicts between the Empire of Ninjago and the Johanian Republic during the course of Shitcraft IV. It is said to have started with the Johanian annexation of Johanian Taipei in June 2020 and it ended with the surrender of Ninjago after the UN-Johano-Oroch occupation in August the same year.

## The Jamal Black firework controversy

Following the death of Johanian miner and rapper Jamal Black, the various investigation teams concluded that the lethal mine collapse had been caused by a **faulty firework**. It was later found out that the firework had been produced by the Ninjagoan company Borg Industries and sold to Juliengrad via a sister-company in June 2020. This lead some to speculate that the faulty fireworks had been deliberately sold to Juliengrad in order to cause the accident. The team of researchers concluded decisively that this batch of fireworks were manufactured differently than Borg's other fireworks. An investigation was thus made into Borg Industries. The company's close ties to the Ninjagoan government lead some to believe that Emperor Kareastikuru was behind the conspiracy. President Gallus insinuated that this was the case in a press conference. The investigation team continued to research this matter after the collapse of the Johanian Republic. As of April 2021, they have stated that the firework batch was "specifically sold to Borg, outside of Ninjago".

The Ninjagoan government initially responded to the death of Black with claims that the Johanian government were abusing their workers. These claims were supported by the Axel powers and was later used in various propaganda campaigns. This was one of the first instances of hostile attitudes being shared between the leaders of the Johanian Republic and Ninjago.

## Illegal Taipei Blockade

Emperor Kareastikuru, after meeting Johanian President Gallus for the first time at the United Nations reportedly became more enraged with the supposed vast influence that he believed that Vaushism had in the institution. Due to the westworldophobia that prevailed in Ninjago and its ideology, the support for preventing Non-Asian and Johanian influence in the region was supported. This lead to the construction of the **Illegal Taipei Blockade**, known in Ninjago as the **Taihoku wall**. The blockade was a 69 meter tall wall that went around the island of Taipei, effectively keeping the population there as prisoners. As travel to and from Taipei was at the time, merely possible via boats. The emperor ordered his Imperial Construction team to build the wall during the night when everyone was sleeping in order to avoid interference.

The very next morning, President Gallus and Raukirland leader Burgamistern both condemned the wall and placed sanctions on Ninjago. Burgamistern even stated that "Such an action can only be met with war." The Johanian Republic subsequently banned non-refugee Ninjagoan citizens from entering the republic and suspended trade between the two nations. Raukirland continued to trade with Ninjago, although Raukir sanctions on the international highway system were still placed against the country. Political scholars generally aggree that the Taipei Blockade was an attempt from Emperor Kareastikuru to provoke the Johanian Republic to declare war on Ninjago, as the Axel Powers had an advantage at the time. Although this never happened as the Johanian Republic adhered to the Non-aggression foreign policy, which advocated against war declarations unless it was to defend against an attack. It is unclear why President Gallus signed this policy, although some speculate that it had to do with the economic issues the country experienced at the time. The millions of refugees escaping the Kurenjingu in Ninjago seeking a new life in Johania had an effect on the country's economy. As the Johanian government priortized providing education, shelter and other necessities to the refugees. This even delayed the construction of the Johanian Federal Senate building significantly.

President Gallus attented several negotation meetings with God Emperor Walece, the *de facto* leader of the Axel Powers alliance, to discuss possible solutions to the illegal blockade. Discussions about Johania potentially selling the Taipei island, after a population transfer, was held. Although this never came to fruition as Gallus revoked the proposition after consulting his government and party. The Axel nation of Arvidland owned the island of Sicily in Southern Europe, a continent which almost entirely belonged to the Allied States. President Gallus made the argument that building a wall around Arvidlandian Sicily would be justified if the Taipei wall was an acceptable course of action. God Emperor Walece aggreed to this statement, as he "respected the wish to maintain one's dominance in their own realm." Although, the Johanian Republic never took any actions against Arvidland's European colony.

## Battle of Taipei

    The **Battle of Taipei**, known as the **Axis' Taipei Invasion** in 2020 Johania, the **Failed Taihoku Liberation** in 2020 Ninjago, and as the **Peaceful Formosa war** in the Myjohanian Union and contemporary Ninjago, was the battle fought between Ninjago, Orochi and the Johanian Republic in Mainland Taipei. After negotations between Gallus and Walece broke down, the Taipei blockade situation continued to be a frozen conflict. It initiated a cold war between the two world alliances, though it did not amount to anything major. In August 2020, Emperor Kareastikuru declared war on the Johanian Republic as he demanded the entire territory that belonged to Johanian Taipei. Orochi's God Emperor Walece declared his support for Ninjago shortly after.

The Battle of Taipei officially began when Orochian and Ninjagoan forces arrived in the Chugoku Prefecture, Ninjago on August 13th and began to move towards Kuanzhou, Johanian Taipei. Both God Emperor Walece and Emperor Kareastikuru were reportedly present at the battlefield, personally commanding their respective armies. President Gallus and Deputy President Myohani were present as well, together with the commander of the Taipei Regional Army. The battle began as Orochian and Ninjagoan soldiers began firing spectral arrows at the Johanian-Myohanian-Taipei armies. The Oroch-Ninja forces were met with the Taipei canine unit which temporarily held them back from the bunker of operations in Kuanzhou. They later advanced towards the bunker from south-west, where a TNT-explosion had been detonated. The two sides clashed near the bunker in sword combat, which went on for a while. The turning point was when the Johanian army began to deploy the moon-tech crystal-based explosives against their opponents. This wiped out a significant portion of the Ninjagoan forces which made the Orochians temporarily retreat. When the Orochians began to advance again, the last parts of their army was defeated with the remaining moon-explosives, resulting in the Axel Powers' defeat in the battle. The entire battle was broadcast live by the Korean National News.

## The first Ninja-UN war

*Main article: Ninja-UN war*
After Ninjago's defeat in the battle of Taipei and the additional collapse of the blockade, this repordedly upset emperor Kareastikuru as he had campaigned for the annexation of "Taihoku" during the entire course of the greater Ninja-Johano war. The international community deemed that the war was to be officially over after the Axel Powers' loss. In order to attempt to gain more territory, Kareastikuru turned on the Axel Powers when he declared war on them and the entire UN. The war was, however, almost without armed conflicts as this controversial war declaration and the additional *New Rise of Ninjago* plans resulted in internal conflict within Ninjago. After a secret meeting between Johanian Deputy President Myohani and Ninjagoan elemental master Arenchao, the emperor was arrested and sent to the Johanian Republic to be internationally held on trial. Arenchao's coup d'etat also resulted in the Johanian Republic and Orochi, together with the UN managing to take control over the former Empire of Ninjago. Turning mainland Ninjago into the Constitutional Democratic Monarchy of Ninjago and the remaining parts into UN-protectorates, such as the United Nations Protectorate of the Johanian Occupied East, more commonly known as Johanian Ninjago. This was the official end of the Ninja-Johano war, as the new Ninjago formally signed a peace treaty with the Johanian Republic.
