Or more likely Tsukuyomi just blabs some samurai bullshit about atonement forever because nothing can kill her.

Also the fourth Alternative plan was already Japan-pioneered project, under the UN far east umbrella or not. They were already supplying all the machines and personnel and junk. I think if anyone was going to draw conclusions about them using Japanese machines meaning they're conspiring and shit (they really were conspiring though?) they'd have done it then. The contrived "can't let nobody but the heroines in there cuz they gotta do it alone like the tropes want them to" bullshit was more about that they would have to kick all the Americans who were there for the G-candy factory out of the Hive but not kick the Imperial Royal Guard unit out of the hive. That is what would have looked like a conspiracy with the Empire.

This way it's just rationalized away as "local UN base seized nearby machines in good condition" or "Japan provides machines like they were always doing but they're providing especially good machines now since this is such a stupid mission". (Why didn't they just not plan to kick the Americans out of the Hive? If you keep trying to backstab your business partners nobody will want to make deals with you ever again)

Pacific Rim has its own share of question marks besides but that's fake 2010s-20s politics not fake 50s politics anyway.
