Not only is one rightwinger asking for criminal charges to be filed (for copyright infingement), but the rightwingers who appeared in the film are trying to take advantage of Sophia University's research guidelines. According to the article, the eight participants originally signed a "research cooperation agreement" provided by Sophia, which was the process the director Dezaki followed since the film was made when he was still a student at Sophia. Now they plan to file a form withdrawing from that cooperation agreement. The article says that in such cases, by its own rules Sophia is obliged to destroy the results of such research cooperation. The rightwinger Fujioka Nobukatsu says in the article: "By Sophia's own regulations, Shusenjo has lost its basis for existence and become something that should not exist in this world.” </span><div><span><br clear="none"></span></div><div><span><a shape="rect" href="https://www.excite.co.jp/news/article/TokyoSports_1610712" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.excite.co.jp/news/article/TokyoSports_1610712</a></span></div><div><br clear="none"><div><br clear="none"></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br clear="none">
