Some times you see a photo with so many bizarre things in it that you overlook the weirdest parts. What are we even looking at? A flood in China? Is this a movie set? Who is this woman sitting on the half-submerged car?
But then, suddenly, I realized what I wasn't seeing, which was this curious person, calmly standing in the middle of the giant heap of cars, perhaps dressed in what looks like a 19th century Lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Army? What does that remind me of?
For me, it is Yasunori KatΕ, the villain in Hiroshi Aramata's Teito MonogatariΒ (εΈι½η©θͺ) from which we get the Doomed Megalopolis franchise.
Of course, it isn't. The photo is of the 1966 flood in North Point, Hong Kong, which dumped over 15 inches of rain in 24 hours. The storm resulted in widespread flooding, landslides and, "turning streets into raging torrents that killed at least 50 people ... causing cars to be swept down roads like toys."
In the series, set in Tokyo, Yasunori KatΕ does indeed attempt to use his supernatural powers to set off a natural disaster in order to destroy the city (in this case it is The Great KantΕ earthquake of 1923) and since cosplay wasn't a thing back then I probably will never get a satisfying answer as to why this person is so weirdly out of place.
