They still have annual ceremonies to thank him.

Otoya Yamaguchi, the hero, was a 17 year old right wing idealist following the code of the samurai. He smiled the moment he knew he had succeeded and then tried to turn the blade on himself, following tradition - a samurai doesn't get captured. They had to wrestle him down to prevent it. He hung himself later in his cell, leaving final words written with toothpaste on the cell wall:

七生報国, shichisei hōkoku

"I wish I had seven lives to give for my country", a reference to the famous last words of fourteenth-century samurai Kusunoki Masashige.

He single handedly killed socialism in Japan. And that's why they still have annual ceremonies to thank him.

I don't know how many times I've seen this picture and never actually asked what it was about. Thank you for educating my lazy ass on this warrior

Look at his perfect stance. This is after pulling back the blade. It's the smile of victory on his face. It all was over in an instant.

That's how it's done. All these idiots shooting up synagogues, mosques, and black churches need to take notes.
