I'm going to make a mixture of both with the primary setting being in Japan. The black knight remnants are going to be led by an old Japanese officer who did not take part in the Black Rebellion but his clout with the old government and his reputation as a soldier speaks for itself. The Euro forces will be led by an old character of mine whom I'm going to update. He's going to be a ex-JLF soldier who refused to work with Zero and instead went back to Europe for a time before arriving back.
