ROFL. Yeah, I'm not buying it. Of all the planes they could have potentially used, it just happens to be the one used last year for the One Piece promo? Coincidences do happen, but this just doesn't pass the smell test. Someone wanted a laugh with a harmless prank, but didn't want any potential blowback from screwing around with a serious crime matter like that. Gonna be hard for me to give up that thought now.

Planes get used and re-used a lot, that said, I love the coincidence too much not to get a good laugh at the multiple levels of irony.

Yeah, no doubt planes get re-used all the time. That's not remotely a question. But how many planes are in service in Japan? The odds that it just happened to be this plane, for the extradition return flight of this criminal?
