Emperor Hirohito was nearly overthrown in an (unsuccessful)coup after he announced the desire to capitulate after the second bomb dropped, as his generals wanted the war to continue. So if anything, the two bombs were nearly not enough.

After the second bomb was dropped, and after the Soviet Union declared war and took Manchuria, defeating what on paper was Japan's strongest remaining army. Two bombs, the Soviet Union in, Manchuria defeated, and there was still an attempted coup to keep Japan from surrendering.
