Your right Case is an a-hole! He knows it and hates himself for it. I believe that is one of the major lines in the story. He's a jerk screws anybody he can....

Focus on Japan well, I'm no economist, but it seems that the playing field has changed a bit since the Asian crash of '97... during the early 80's in America...
