Bowing has many functions in one. It expresses the feeling of respect, thanking, apologizing, greeting, and so on. It's a convenient and important custom for you to learn. You can bow, when you say, "Thank you", "Sorry", "Hello", "Good bye", "Congratulations", "Excuse me", "Good night", "Good Morning", and more

He was obviously bowing because the emperor is one of the high officials of the intergalactic reptilian league. If he didn't bow to our reptilian overlords, they would have sucked his brains out... AND THEN WHERE WOULD WE BE?!?!
HUH???? TELL ME !!!!!
WE'D HAVE BIDEN AS PRESIDENT!!!!!

Why are you just making up garbage? Japan is not an empire nor a monarchy.
The Emperor of Japan holds no real power since two U.S army officers wrote the whole Japanese constitution practically on their own.
The emperor is nothing but a symbolic gesture in the constitution.
The only reason, obviously, why the Emperor WOULD be able to do anything like "decapitate" Obama is because he is a shape-shifting reptilian overlord and nobody but NOBODY has the balls to cross our reptoid masters.

Actually that Constitution simply incorporated Japan into the Roman Empire but still recognized the sovereign existence of the Japanese Emperor.
He exists as a figure head to his people but he very much exists as a Prince of Rome and it's empire.
I would sooner trifle with one of your reptoids than a prince of Rome my friend.
Reptiles big and small are just as easy to crucify as humans. Get some lumber and some nails, and be sure to leave the corpse on display for others to bear witness to and serve as a warning.
I will grant you almost everyone does but trust me when I say I have no Master and would never serve a geckoid!
Article 1. The Emperor shall be the symbol of the State and of the unity of the people, deriving his position from the will of the people with whom resides sovereign power.
Article 4. The Emperor shall perform only such acts in matters of state as are provided for in this Constitution and he shall not have powers related to government

Bowing is intrinsically tied into Japanese culture. One bows to another out of respect to a person. There is nothing wrong with that gesture given the cultural context to that particular form of endearment.
