There are seven "La Porte de l'enfer" (Gate of Hell) in the world, two of which are in Japan (Ueno and Shizuoka). The gates bear the inscription "la porta e de l’entrata de l’inferno" (The gate and entrance to Hell).
The original text is derived from a passage in Dante's "Divina Commedia."
Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate.
Per me si va ne la città dolente,
per me si va ne l'etterno dolore,
per me si va tra la perduta gente.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here
Through me the way into the suffering (woeful) city,
Through me the way to the eternal pain (sorrow),
Through me the way that runs among the lost.
— Dante, Inferno, 3.1–9
（https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Divina_Commedia/Inferno/Canto_III）
“La perduta gente” means “the lost people,” and is considered a “people of extinction,” a “wandering people," or “inhabitants of hell.”
Today, my concern is not “Who will be sent to hell？ (Who will become an inhabitant of hell？)” but “Who will be dragged to hell with them？”
Simply put, the question is, “Will I (along with him) be dragged to hell？”
This is because, in Japan, the manufacture, sale, and order taking for toilets, baths, and kitchens have finally been suspended (ＴＯＴＯ).
In Japan, the day will soon come when we cannot bathe, cook meals, or even defecate in the same way as Chinese tourists (who went to Korea).
Currently, Japan is the biggest loser in the Iran War. We, under President Trump (and the evangelicals), are being sent back to the “Stone Age” even before the Iranian people.

[AFP-Jiji] US President Donald Trump intensified pressure on Iran on April 4, 2026, stating that "all kinds of hell will come upon Iran if it does not agree to a ceasefire and open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours."
Iran retaliated by saying, "The gates of hell will open to Trump." The future of ceasefire talks remains uncertain.

In a post on his social media account, Truth Social, Trump referred to his warning from the end of last month, asking, "Do you remember when I gave Iran 10 days to agree or open the Strait of Hormuz?"
On March 26, 2026, President Trump announced that negotiations with Iran were continuing and that the moratorium on attacks on Iranian energy facilities would be extended until April 6.
Following this, President Trump posted on social media, "Time's running out. 48 hours until all hell falls upon them."
On April 4, General Ali Abdullahi Aliabadi of Iran's Central Command condemned Trump's warning in a statement, calling it "powerless, nervous, unstable, and foolish."
Aliabadi turned Trump's rhetoric on its head, stating, "The simple meaning of this message is that the gates of hell are opening to you."
