Banzai means "long live" or "10.000 years", often used before the name of the emperor.
Hirohito BANZAI!!!!

Don't think they used his name, as such... Wasn't it more along the lines of "Tenno Banzai", "Tenno" meaning "Lord"?

Well if you say Banzai in Hokkien ( a southern China dialect) - it means moving your bowels.[:D]

If you any of you modders would like to do a new wav file for when the ALLIES capture a base, that would be greatly appreciated. To say the Allied battle cry is "anemic", is a gross understatement.

Agreed. Sounds about as exciting as the "ate Robin's minstrels and rejoiced" cheer.
