After all, there’s a Supreme Leader controlling the world behind the scenes, is there not..? Might that have something to do with the unprecedented crisis..?

Also…

An Ultimate talent being the Prime Minister is certainly a lot less strange, when it’s spelled out as being… not only within the realm of possibility, but an example of what to expect as an Ultimate.

What’s more, we’ve had Ultimates in high places before: Ultimate Yakuza, Ultimate Princess, Ultimate Heir (ahem, ’Affluent Progeny’) to name a few, and the former two amplified their influence as Ultimate Despair. So even past canon tells us that Prime Minister is hardly a stretch of the imagination.

It is a little curious that it had to be behind the scenes, mind you…
