<!-- Need source to "developers' refusal to depict any of the atrocities". (Akane)
 
PTO series always had somewhat a negative reputation due to developers' refusal to depict any of the atrocities committed by the Japanese Empire during the World War II. Even though games acknowledge and mention atrocities committed by other nations, such as Nazi Germany and Soviet Union, none of the war crimes committed by Japan were never mentioned. This double standard has resulted in accusations by others, especially Chinese media, accusing the developers to whitewash the Japan's conduct in the World War II as a "noble but lost cause".

Teitoku no Ketsudan III's finishing touches for development and distribution were initially sent to Koei's Tianjin based subsidiary company. At the same time disapproval for Japan in China was at a high due to renewed Senkaku Islands dispute and the Prime Minister's visit to Yasukuni Shrine (a shrine in which as many as 1000 war criminals were enshrined, many of whom were executed by Allied forces after the surrender of Japan) and long going issues which stem from Japan's brutal occupation and conduct of war in China during the Sino-Japanese War and World War II. Four Tianjin subsidiary employees (Liang Guangming, Gao Yuan, Guo Jing, and Qi Wei) cited their protest to the glorified "misrepresentations" of Japanese armed forces and politicians in the game to the Chinese mass media. An investigation began July 1996, and the Tianjin branch violated the Electronic Publications Management Act by allegedly failing to file a legal license to develop the title. The confiscation of 11,500 copiesand a 479,000 yuan fine was conducted by local authorities in December. Chinese mass media heralded the four Tianjin employees as heroes and dubbed them "the four gentleman of Koei", a pun of "four honorable gentleman".
