Nobody denies the fact that Germany had some very interesting ideas. Difference is that most of those planes never made it past the concept phase and Shinden actually flew.
Right form the start Japanese engineers planned to use a jet engine for the Shinden and the piston driven version was sort of a stop-gap measure until they could get one.
