I wonder if the D'harans like Bipel as much as he likes them. Little things like "Run a suicide attack against LN's main army, we'll be there later" tend to stick in people's mind. Actually, LN owes Bipel a lot. That kind of tactical brilliance is hard to find when you need your current enemies to do something really stupid.
How on earth will people get inside Shinnen if they're officially enemies anyway? If there's any official state of conflict between any of the participants, it'll be a bloodbath between their troops before the tournament even begins. Depends who's turning up to it I guess.
Oh, and Sha'shanti can't be Jar-Jar. It's all a front. Honestly.
