On March 5, it uploaded a video with the message “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY” that mixed footage of attacks on Iran with scenes from the popular anime series Yu-Gi-Oh! and Dragon Ball.

An official Yu-Gi-Oh! social media account carried a comment on Wednesday denying the involvement of anyone associated with the manga or anime. It said permission was not granted for the use of its intellectual property.

I made this post already, but marked NSFW, because I believe drone strikes need to be content warned.
