In that war, the South Vietnamese Army that was trying to wage guerilla warfare against the Great Asian Union that was encroaching into the Indian Peninsula and the Korean army dispatched by the Great Asian Union were so fearful of him that they treated him like Death or the Devil himself. | ” |

Due to their accomplishments at Yokohama, the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion gained renown as a Special Forces group capable of overcoming dire situations, resulting in the promotion of certain Officers for their roles. However, these promotions were withheld for a long time due to this battalion being a secret unit, that should be kept in low profile. But, the Yokohama Incident was a large event and wasn't something the Ministry of Defense could ignore, and eventually, they passed out delayed promotions, which should have happened during July 2096, in January 2097.
