I think there might be an argument for the first bomb, but the second was completely unnecessary.

    Not true.

    Even after the second bomb, Japan almost faced a military coup in order to keep the war going. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%ABj%C5%8D_incident

    They were not going to surrender without a massive show of force because of their culture.

    They had literally agreed to surrender before the first bomb dropped, their only condition being that the emperor remain, which the US agreed to anyway.
