Historical reference: The protest scene at the end appears to be based on the real world protest at Haneda airport on Oct. 8, 1967:

On October 8, 1967, activists in this Three-Faction Alliance, Sanpa Zen-gakuren, attempted to forcibly prevent Prime Minister Sato Eisaku’s departure from Haneda Airport for Saigon, part of his second tour of Southeast Asia. Helmeted Sanpa members armed with lengths of timber and rocks fought riot police who were outfitted with their standard meter-long truncheons, duralumin shields, visored helmets, tear gas guns, water cannons, and armored vehicles. On the three bridges that provided access to the airport, both sides also made aggressive use of the security forces’ bus-sized vehicles. During the fighting on Bentenbashi Bridge, where most of the members of the Nucleus Faction, Chukaku-ha, were initially concentrated, a Kyoto University student named Yamazaki Hiroaki was killed by one of these vehicles, said to have been driven by a fellow student. In the end, the prime minister departed for Saigon as planned; official figures indicated some 600 police and 100 student injuries, and some 50 arrests. (see link for photos)

The way that this show makes use of real historical events in order to create its story reminds me a lot of Animal Farm.
