108 stars of Anime

[Sirrocco]

You could figure that there are other apocalypsi taking the attention elsewhere. You might get a few people (street fighter/KoF characters, for example) who incarnate as one of the 108 stars and show up, but the majority of the foreign powers get fobbed off with occasonal passing references to things like "The recent difficulties with Shinra" and "The Metal Gear incident".
