This issue was HILARIOUS
I don't meant to be nitpicky, but you got A LOT wrong in your reading of this issue. Let's clarify:

but ok, the flashback is about a school girl who is working to make paper balloons to carry bombs to help the Japanese army, the tone of the flashback is pretty weird cause it made in such a way that the girl just follows the orders she was just slave but is still joyful for doing so, and even comments on how genius this idea is and even proud of helping to, she also signs up her paper balloon and puts the date(this is important)
I'll just assume that you don't know much about Japanese history, so I'll excuse your feelings about this sub-plot. The Japanese were FANATICAL about their country, more so than almost any other group of people I can think of. This is the country where young men literally lined up for the glory of being Kamikaze pilots. During the height of the war, people in Japan were fully expecting an Allied invasion of the mainland and everyone was preparing for it. They were preparing to die, from very young to very old, they did whatever they cold for the glory of the Empire. Scenes like the ones depicted in Batgirl were not uncommon, these were brain washed individuals who believed that it was their greatest honor in life to die for their Emperor and their country, which they believed was being invaded by ruthless barbarians. Ayumi's feelings were not strange, they were in line with Japanese sentiments at the time.

this origin is overly complicated but, there is a point
Again, the attack was not "ridiculous", it's an actual historical event. I'll concede, however, that the plot was overly-complicate.d It honestly did not bother me, I liked the historical connection.

...
WHAT!
How in the name of GOD did one, ANY human being, makes that connection?
she finds an old paper that says a date of Nov 44' in Japanese IN Her fridge(im sure there is a certain symbolism here) and immediately thinks this random trivia
I mean come on
Ok, first of all, she did not find the paper on the fridge, I don't know how you got that idea. She took it from Talon Mary, who carried it around because it's a piece fo the wreckage of the original bomb that disfigured her. Add to that that Mulberry paper is of Asian origin (called Washi in Japan), and has a Japanese date dating back to WWII on it, I don't see how it's outrageous that she made the connection. In fact ... I would be surprised if she hadn't made the connection with so many clues being handed out to her, and her being freekin' Barbara Gordon. The problem I had with this was how wrong the Kanji are on that date. A simple use of google translate would have given Gail the correct form for the Japanese date.

I dont get it
I don't get what's so confusing here. Talon Mary felt a connection to Batgirl because both of them are forced to wear masks. Seems pretty straight-forward to me.

and in the sky instead of the Bat Signal is the OWL Signal, which Gordon cannot turn off cause the plot says he cant
Yeah, ok ... that whole part was a little wonky. Although I assumed that scene takes place within a few seconds. So, once Jim gets over the shock of seeing the owl signal, I'm sure he'll attempt to turn it off.
