As in Operation Wolf, the Japanese in this game tends to be concise, much like newspaper headlines. Hence, sometimes particles will be omitted. As is fitting for military instructions, the game frequently uses the plain imperative form, which is uncommon in normal speech.

This translation is intended for people who already know English and are learning Japanese. It is not intended to be used to learn English, because the sentences in English may use strange or awkward wording in order to illustrate the vocabulary and grammar of the original Japanese.

This translation is for the arcade version. Other versions may differ.

As in Operation Wolf, the Japanese in this game tends to be concise, much like newspaper headlines. Hence, sometimes particles will be omitted. As is fitting for military instructions, the game frequently uses the plain imperative form, which is uncommon in normal speech.

Japanese

The kanji 不 is a typical way to form negatives in kanji compounds, though you can't use it with every compound. It's analogous to the "im" in "impossible". (In this case, the positive form would be 可能 rather than just 能, but that's not true of all 不 words.)

Good ending[edit]
