The Human Condition II: Road to Eternity
“The second one”
Synopsis
Kaji, designated Red by the Japanese army, witnesses cruelty within the ranks and opposes the abusive treatment of a fellow recruit. He also observes his friend Shinjô defecting toward the Russian border before Kaji is deployed to the front, where he participates in a failed engagement against a Russian tank division.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
