After going over Hirohito's divinity and saying that his divine origins are shared by the Japanese people as a whole, the film then describes Shinto, a Japanese religion by saying that it had been a "quaint religion for a quaint people" until 1870 when a mad, fanatical, conquer-the-world doctrine, based on the commandment of Jimmu, the first emperor of Japan, to "let us extend the capital and cover the eight corners of the world under one roof" was woven into it and called Hakkō Ichiu (八紘一宇, literally "eight crown cords, one roof", i.e., "all the world under one roof").
After discussing Hirohito's divine status and asserting that his divine origins are shared by all Japanese people, the film portrays Shinto as a "simple religion" for a "simple people" until 1870 when a radical, fanatical, world-conquering doctrine based on Jimmu's commandment to "extend the capital and cover the eight corners of the world under one roof" was incorporated into it and called Hakkō Ichiu (八紘一宇).
