Did you even read my post?
The Japanese had no way to produce any of those new designs in numbers, or at a quality level that would allow them to be effective in combat. Their industry was already almost totally destroyed at the time the Shinden made it's first flight.
P-80s and other more advanced US aircraft were on their way to the Pacific at the time of the atom bomb attacks.
They had no chance, none, to even hope for an armistice at that point.
With the war in Europe over, the entire might of the Allies was being prepared to rain down on Japan.
Those prototype aircraft would help Japan about as much as did the paper napkin designs that Germany was fooling with.
Stop getting your history from YouTube, and do some serious reading.
It's far more interesting as well.
