Nikudan plot
Lacking food, a young, nameless Japanese soldier begins to bump up his food and chew it like a cow. When he is caught stealing food by an executive, he demotes him to a pig. And because pigs don't wear clothes, he will have to prepare naked for the final battle. But then atomic bombs fall on Japan. The young soldier is added to a kamikaze unit and is thus promoted to god: enough to eat and actually one day off.
