Zipangu is already another name of Japan. So no, no twist. It's actually baffling me that you need hint to figure that out (it's as bad as needing hint to link fictional empire call Britania to England, really).

But MGE world does not based on real world. It's mostly JRPG with actual myth here and there, actual myth, but myth nonetheless. So bring up actual history is completely missing the point.

The background of Zipangu come from religion believe of Shintoism. So youkai have place in the world as long as they don't cause much problem, obake. While monsters are mostly enemy in western myth.
