Burns caused by atomic bombs developed only on the parts of the body that directly faced the flash of light emitted during the explosion. Depending on the posture, direction, and position of the victim at the time of the bombing, the burn surface faced the hypocenter where the Hiroshima atomic bomb exploded. The A-bomb survivors were escorted to the Army's Ninoshima Island Quarantine Station on Ninoshima Island, about 3 km offshore from Hiroshima Bay. Immediately after the explosion of the Hiroshima atomic bomb, the hospital was converted to a field hospital. Field hospitals in the A-bombed city were called field hospitals, and they became large-scale mobile facilities that treated the wounded in the open. Later, it functioned as a first aid station. Some of the initially admitted Hibakusha received temporary treatment in Ujina and were transported by sea from Ujina Port. Many of the survivors were severely exposed to the bombing, and about 70% of them died from the bombing despite treatment.　

　The burns caused by the atomic bombs were different from those caused by incendiary bombs and fires in conventional air raids. They developed only on the parts of the body that were directly exposed to the flash of light emitted during the explosion. According to an investigation report by the Army Medical Corps, when the Hiroshima atomic bomb exploded, members of the Army Ship Communication Corps were lined up in the schoolyard of Senda-machi National School, about 1.8 km south of the hypocenter. They were nude or semi-nude and formed a formation in the schoolyard. In a posture of resting from care, we listened to a cautionary tale from a senior officer of the ship's communications team. A strong flash of light came from the left side against the front of the formation. Instantly, all the members of the squadron either lay on the ground or took shelter in air-raid shelters. Those who were in line in the schoolyard received burns mainly on the left side of their bodies.

　After the Hiroshima atomic bomb exploded on August 6, 1945, the Japanese Army Ship Command, commonly known as the "Dawn Corps," selected the Ninoshima Island Quarantine Station as a base for the rescue of seriously injured survivors. From around 10:00 a.m. on August 6, the injured who had been exposed to the bombing in Hiroshima City were brought to Ninoshima Island one after another by boat. From around 10:00 a.m. on August 6, injured people who had been exposed to the bombing in Hiroshima City were brought to Ninoshima Island by boat one after another. The maximum number of detainees reached more than 10,000. Based on testimonies and the number of remains unearthed, it was estimated that about 70% of the A-bomb survivors died in the atomic bombing, and around September 1945, quarantine station staff and others collected the remains from the premises of the Mabiki quarantine station and erected a memorial tower in the form of a mound for 1,000 people. Later, in July 1955, about 2,000 of the remains from Ninoshima Island were enshrined in the Hiroshima City war dead memorial tower in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.

　After the Sino-Japanese War, the Ninoshima Quarantine Station quarantined war-wounded soldiers returning from overseas battlefields to prevent infectious diseases. The Sanyo Railway was extended to Hiroshima on June 10, 1894 before the start of the Sino-Japanese War, and the Ujina Line for military use was completed on August 4 after the declaration of war on the Sino-Japanese War. The Japanese army gathered in Hiroshima. Japanese troops were assembled in Hiroshima and shipped out from Ujina. The number of soldiers returning to Hiroshima was similarly large. Geographically, Ninoshima Island was in close proximity to Ujina. On Ninoshima Island, mountains and water were available, making it convenient for quarantine operations to prevent infectious diseases.

When the Nagasaki atomic bomb exploded, a 22-year-old female worker suffered severe atomic bomb sickness about 11 days after the bombing and was escorted to the Omura Naval Hospital, where she died of the bombing.

The Nagasaki atomic bomb was dropped and exploded at 11:02 a.m. on August 9, 1945, and a 22-year-old female worker was exposed to the bomb. About 11 days after the bombing, she suffered from severe atomic bomb sickness and was escorted to the Omura Naval Hospital in Omura City, Nagasaki Prefecture, where she was hospitalized on August 20. He was admitted to the 12th Hospital and diagnosed with facial burns, left and right upper extremity burns, left and right knee joint burns, and left and right leg back burns. He had second-degree burns on his face, both upper limbs, both knees, and the backs of both feet. The entire surface of the burns was covered with black colored crusts. Pus flowed out from most of the wounds. There was a foul smell of pus in the air.

　Upon admission, the patient was immediately given a subcutaneous injection of 500CC of tetanus serum. This was followed by daily intravenous injections of 200 ml of 25% dextrose with vitamins B and C. His general condition became debilitated, and his white blood cell count decreased to about 4,700 cells/mmli on September 8. No medical records of his subsequent course were noted. He was presumed to have died of A-bomb disease in the near future.

　She was exposed to gamma rays of radioactivity released by the explosion of the atomic bomb, which destroyed the cells of his body. Whenever a person received a burn injury, he or she was exposed to gamma radiation. It also induced A-bomb disease, which caused the blood to be digested, resulting in hemorrhage, immune deficiency, bloody stools, and early death. Even young women began to look old and their hair fell off. The devastation and photographs of some of the survivors were recorded as much as possible.

     After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, a large naval air force was newly established in Omura City, Nagasaki Prefecture. It became a base for the mass production of fighter planes and suicide missions. At the outbreak of the Pacific War, a new naval hospital was established. On August 9, 1945, at around 3:00 p.m., we received a notice from the police that a large number of casualties had occurred in Nagasaki City. A rescue team was dispatched immediately. At around 5:00 p.m., Omura City informed us that the number of casualties in Nagasaki City was countless and requested that we take about 1,000 people to the Omura Naval Hospital along the railroad line. The severely exposed were escorted from Urakami in Nagasaki City to Omura Station by a separate train. After arriving at Omura Station around 8:00 p.m., they were transported to the hospital by fire engines and other vehicles. As many as 758 A-bomb survivors were admitted at one time. In addition, severely exposed survivors from relief stations in Nagasaki Prefecture were escorted one after another to the Omura Naval Hospital.

In the day after the Nagasaki atomic bomb exploded, the area around the Catholic Church of Nakamachi collapsed and burned down. The citizens of Nagasaki survived in only gathered together to search for their relatives and homes.

 In the early morning hours of August 10, 1945, the day after the Nagasaki atomic bomb exploded on August 9, 1945, the area around the Catholic Nakamachi Church collapsed and burned down after the bombing. It was located about 2.5 meters south-southeast of the hypocenter of the Nagasaki atomic bomb. The area was completely destroyed by a second fire and the whole area was burnt to the ground. The heat rays from the atomic bomb caused combustible materials to ignite and reignite, leading to a huge fire. The Catholic Nakamachi Church was destroyed by the atomic bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, leaving the outer walls and steeple.

　The situation in Nagasaki was different from other air raids in that the entire city was instantly turned into a blazing wasteland by the blast and the fire. Efforts to extinguish the fire and the medical team's efforts to rescue the victims were chaotic. As we waited for the time to pass, a small number of Nagasaki citizens who had survived because of their location gathered to search their homes and relatives. The Nagasaki atomic bomb was dropped at 11:02 a.m. on August 9, 1945, and exploded, killing or injuring about 120,820 people and setting about 18,409 houses on fire.

　At 11:02 a.m. on August 9, 1945, the explosion of the Nagasaki atomic bomb broke the windows of the cathedral and the interior collapsed due to the blast. A few hours later, the fire destroyed the roof of the cathedral, leaving only the steeple with the cross and the outer walls of the cathedral. Construction of the Nakamachi Church, located about 2.6 km south-southeast of the hypocenter, began in August 1981 with a donation from a French woman, and the dedication ceremony was held on September 8, 1897 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the martyrdom of the 26 saints. The chapel is a grand Romanesque building with brick walls painted with cement, and the main entrance has a steeple with four large clocks, one on each side of the exterior walls.

　In October 1951, the church was rebuilt with its exterior walls and steeple intact. In October 1951, the church was rebuilt with its exterior walls and steeple intact, and as such, it has been designated by the city of Nagasaki as a valuable remains of the atomic bombing, and an inscription has been placed by the church gate. The city of Nagasaki installed the nameplate to pray for the souls of those who were killed in and around Nakamachi, Nagasaki, and to hope that such a horrific disaster will never be repeated.

　Yosuke Yamabata (1917-1966), a member of the press corps of the Army Headquarters, was transferred from Tokyo on August 1 to Fukuoka City on August 6. He had passed through Hiroshima City the night before, where a new type of atomic bomb was dropped and exploded on August 6. I arrived at Michinoo Station in the northern part of Nagasaki City at 3:00 a.m. on August 10. I stayed in Nagasaki City for about 12 hours and recorded about 115 photographs, which I developed on August 12 and took back to Tokyo after being advised by my colleague Shihei Hino that the military would destroy them. After the war, on September 9, GHQ imposed strict censorship on the press. After keeping it sealed for about seven years, the peace treaty with Japan came into effect on April 28, 1952, and on August 6, 1952, the atomic bomb photos were published in the August 6 issue of the Asahi Graph.

On 25 July 1946, the United States conducted the first-ever underwater nuclear explosion at test Baker detonated at the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean.

On July 25, 1946, the United States conducted the first-ever nuclear explosion of an atomic bomb underwater. The Baker test, detonated at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean, was the fifth of more than 2,000 nuclear detonation tests conducted to date. Of these tests, only a few, such as the Baker test, were conducted with underwater explosions, primarily to assess damage to ships and submarines; with the exception of a few in space, such as the Starfish Prime test in 1962, about three-quarters of the tests were conducted primarily underground, with the remainder in the atmosphere.

　The device for the Baker nuclear test was suspended about 30 meters below the surface of the sea from beneath a ship; it detonated an atomic bomb equivalent to about 23 kilotons of TNT explosives. The Baker test followed the atmospheric Able test of July 1, 1946, both of which used the same type of protonium atom bomb as the Nagasaki bomb. They evaluated the effects of nuclear explosions on a fleet of ships and on animals by underwater detonation. Both the Baker and Able nuclear tests were part of Operation Crossroads, which involved the evacuation of approximately 42,000 personnel, 242 ships, 156 aircraft, and all 162 residents of Bikini Atoll.

　During the Baker test, all pigs and most rats aboard the ships died from the blast or from radiation exposure. Of the approximately fifty-seven target ships, about eight were severely damaged, sinking or capsizing as a direct result of the explosion. Most of the remaining ships were exposed to high radiation. Despite decontamination efforts such as wiping and spraying the decks, the high radioactivity remained. The Baker nuclear test produced considerably more radioactivity than the Able. Most of the remaining ships were subsequently unable to operate due to overheating and were forced to sink.

　It was not until 1947, the year after the Baker and Able nuclear tests, that a team of scientists and engineers conducted a scientific re-examination of the Bikini Atoll. Clearly, radiation had entered the Pacific food chain. Plankton glistened on the photographic dry plates. So did the intestinal tracts of the fish that ate them. Whether Bikini Atoll will return to the ecological balance it had before the Able nuclear test is uncertain in the short term. In 1998, almost 50 years and half a century after the tests, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recommended that Bikini Atoll, where 23 nuclear tests had been conducted, should not be resettled without special radioactive decontamination. Residents of Bikini, Eniweck, Rongelap, and Utirik who were exposed to nuclear testing and radioactive contamination filed lawsuits against the U.S. government in the 1980's. The 1986 Free Association Agreement provides for compensation to the U.S. government for the health and environmental effects of nuclear testing.

On 25 July 1946, the United States conducted the first-ever underwater nuclear explosion at test Baker detonated at the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean.

Operation Crossroads (Baker Event 1946)

On August 6, the atomic bomb is dropped on Hiroshima. Gen's father and siblings perish in the fires, but he and his mother escape.Hiroshima lies in ruins, and the city is full of people dead and dying from severe burns and radiation sickness.

 In Barefoot Gen "Vol. 1: The Appearance of Gen Aomugi", an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima City by the U.S. Army on August 6, 1945 and exploded. Immediately afterwards, houses collapsed and burned, and the father, sister and brother, who were buried together and could not move, burned to death all at once. Barefoot Gen and his mother, who were left behind after the atomic bomb exploded, fled the area around the hypocenter, which had become a burning place with Hibakusha suffering from burns. Later, Barefoot Gen fled with his mother, who was carrying a newborn baby. Since the end of the war, he has lived through a variety of hardships.

　Nakazawa Keiji, the author of Barefoot Gen, used his own experience of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in the first year of elementary school as the source of his long manga series in Shonen Jump, which depicted the harsh lives of atomic bomb survivors during and after the war, when the Hiroshima bomb exploded. Barefoot Gen was published at the end of the Pacific War, set in the aftermath of the Hiroshima atomic bombing and featuring second-year elementary school student Nakaoka Gen as the main character. The Nakaoka family, engaged in the manufacture of painted clogs, was very poor, and their five children grew up healthy during the war. However, when their father spoke out against the Pacific War, they were marginalized and discriminated against as unpatriotic, and were driven into the shadows.　

　Eventually, after the war, he met his eldest son, Koji Nakaoka, who had volunteered to join the Japanese army's preliminary training program, and his second son, Akira Nakaoka, who had been evacuated from his school. They were joined by Ryuta, an orphan who bore a striking resemblance to his younger brother, Shinji Nakaoka, who had been burned to death. The lives of the Hibakusha unfolded more fully, but the point of the manga was to depict the cruelty and misery of war through the reality of their miserable lives.

　The point of this manga is to depict the cruelty and misery of war through the realities of the Hibakusha's miserable lives. The younger generation after the war has no experience and ignorance of the mass abuse and genocide of war. They have been brainwashed with a distorted sense of war through television, movies, cartoons, and video games. The horrors and deprivations of war are not limited to the bursting of atomic bombs, shooting and air raids on the battlefield. Anyone who does not criticize, oppose, or actively cooperate with the war effort is discriminated against, ostracized, abused, and slaughtered. Moreover, the aftereffects of the war have left grievous wounds even after the war.

　Barefoot Gen never gave up and crawled through such circumstances during and after the war. The boy known as Barefoot Gen becomes the protagonist of the story, which depicts more poignantly the tragic lives of the atomic bomb survivors during and after the war, when the Hiroshima atomic bomb exploded. During the war, the Nakaoka family was evacuated from their surroundings as an unpatriotic family, and after the war, they were marginalized as outsiders. To the generation born after the war, which was completely indifferent and ignorant of the cruelty and misery of war, Barefoot Gen manga depicts war and peace in a small, light and gentle way.

　In 2005, at least, English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Indonesian, Thai, Esperanto, Norwegian, and Polish editions of Barefoot Gen have already been published.

　The author, Nakazawa Keiji, talked about Barefoot Gen as follows. It's hard to draw a manga about an atomic bomb, but children can honestly discern what is true. That is why I continued to draw while relaxing and hoping that the children would be able to enter the work, rather than straining their shoulders. It is my hope that they will be able to grasp the real thing and understand what the atomic bomb is.
