Trainer Yusuf's Tumblr Nonsense

Today's Japan Championship 2026 stream featured the retrain of Number 101 for Utility Selection.

We also have a Dark Paladin retrain for Original Artwork Collection.

Edit:

Interesting news, China will impose taxes on conventional solar cells, and lithium-ion batteries.

This presumably also includes small scale electronics, so most of electronics will be forced to shift to sodium ion batteries as well.

Japanese government's own chart for trade agreements kind of explains why Japan is lagging behind, even compared to itself in 1970s. Overall trade policy is strictly stuck in 1800s British naval trade politics that are bread, and butter of Japanese geopolitics, which have nothing to do with modern geoeconomics, which are strictly about investment, not movement of mass goods.

Japan in 1970s took special importance of Africa (specifically East Africa), much like how China, and Korea(s) are doing now, but modern Japan post 1990s real estate bubble is stuck in little Eastern Asia-Pacific.

Another interesting chart, it seems the pre-WWI decline in fertility rate was largely due to rising childlessness among women, which seems consistent with the works of the era. Current rate is much higher of course, but it is interesting that this also proves there was always an upper limit of women having children. It also kind shows how artificial the Baby Boom was.

However, the survey results below suggest that "true" childfree-ness is only around 1 to 5 percent, which is somewhat consistent with the assumed rates of asexuality among men, meaning this is probably close to "true" asexuality among women.

Contrary to the popular wisdom, China's imports from Africa are surging, and very hard.

This means the global growth of trade to GDP ratio will increase, despite China's slowdown.

Interestingly, trade to GDP ratio has actually increased to a new peak, though this seems exclusively due to Africa's internal trade increasing.

Interesting tidbit, global youth dependency ratio will not go down below old age dependency ratio until 2065, meaning the fertility crisis won't be a big issue until then.

Decarbonisaiton of electricity is expected to be around 2055, so this won't be a big issue until 2045 globally, but individual countries will have to take action much sooner.

Looking at this chart, nuclear had the peak production daily in 2021 at around 90 GWh for EU.

Solar is getting close to peak gas production, but peak wind production is still far off.

Today's V Jump reveals are the Manga-style Artworks for Original Artwork Collection.

This should be the final reveal for the month, until the next set title reveal.

Edit:

Though solar power in EU saw a massive rise, wind power has largely collapsed, and hydro isn't doing so good either.

Today's V Jump reveals are the new Senat theme cards, which feature our first Level 12 Zombie monster.
