Title: Red Alert 3 : Meet Yuriko Omega

So the Empire of the Rising Sun gets gundams and psychic schoolgirls in trouble:

Quote
It may be no accident that Yuriko was encountered on her own, for there is reason to believe she is feared even among the Rising Sun's own forces. From a certain perspective, this is hardly a surprise, for one seemingly so young and yet so powerful as she must surely have experienced incredible psychological or even physical trauma during the course of her development. Make no mistake, however: Any pity would almost certainly be lost on Yuriko Omega, who--or rather, which--is the closest this world has yet seen to a living weapon.

Extreme caution is advised when engaging Yuriko Omega, or anyone resembling her. Look for evidence of psychic ability such as levitation, telekinesis, mind-reading, ESP, psychokinetic burst, etc.

 :lol EA LA is pulling out all the stops. This game keeps getting crazier.

The video in the link is great, she kills a bunch of soviets by apparently projecting the powers of JAPPY NATIONALISM into coherent beans of psychic energy.

I kind of want to write this but the problem is balancing the crazy, anything goes, over-the-top tone of Akira with the lurking horror of Lovecraft. If I can figure out how to resolve this I may get started.

start with earthquakes and ill-fated japanese investigation into the paranormal. end with yog-sothoth's rape machines far below the earth's crust! make the protagonist a crazy suicidal nichiren nationalist for maximum tvc fanservice

okay, so psychic Japanese schoolchildren vs. Cthulhu is a good idea for a story

but brainwashed right-wing psychic Japanese schoolchildren facing off against Cthulhu in an alternate history 1950s where Japan won the war...is the BEST idea. seriously, this idea is too awesome.

The paranormal investigation should involve a zombie apocalypse spreading across the Japanese countryside and encroaching on the cities.
