Central Theme: Blind nationalism is a self-destructive behavior, and both Captain Jinguji and the Empress of Mu are perfect examples of this. Captain Jinguji wants to use the Gotengo to restore Japan's honor after the country's defeat in World War II that he's willing to strike back against the Allied Forces even though Japan adopted the United States' Constitution. It took his daughter's kidnapping by Mu agents that he personally pushes his national pride aside to save her. The Empress of Mu however refuses to surrender to Captain Jinguji, and chooses to die with her country.

Calling the Old Man Out: Captain Jinguji is so fixated in restoring Japan's honor after the nation's defeat in World War II that everyone, including his own daughter, calls him out on this. Granted that Nationalism and Patriotism is the basic themes of this film, but he actually took it too far.
