Hmm...That's funny. This is very reminiscent of something that a Berber/Ummayad General did in Gibraltar. After landing there with his troops, he suppsoedly burned down all their ships and declared:
"O People ! There is nowhere to run away! The sea is behind you, and the enemy in front of you!"
I guess uh... great minds think alike? Despite a 500+ year gap?

If I recall correctly, this dates back to the Trojan War at least, where King Menelaus ordered the Greek boats burned to stop his warriors from giving up after a ten-year siege.

How they got back home after sacking Troy is, as far as I'm aware, left unanswered.

Man, Suwako's attacks :stare: Are they anything like that in the original game?

Thanks for the LP, BlitzBlast!
