At first, "gumbatsu" in the second header appeared to me to be a typo for "gunbatsu" but a quick search shows 123 hits for "gumbatsu" including:

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,775909,00.html "World: Down with the Gumbatsu!", Time Magazine, Monday, June 18, 1945.

and

However, "gunbatsu" has 16,000+ hits including:
