Remember that period in Japanese history where after Takeda Shingen died, his son called to the Japanese version of Heaven, Da Great Green, where he called upon the aid of the Japanese gods Gork and Mork, who granted him their power, wherein he then launched a massive WAAAGH against the Takeda Clan’s enemies. And so pleased by the destruction Shingen’s son caused that Gork (or possibly Mork) reincarnated Takeda Shingen years later, soon becoming Warboss of all Japan?
