I guarantee you most Japanese people feel this mass murderer deserves the death penalty.

Yeah, keep chanting your mantra if that is your bottom line.

It won't change anything; it won't cure the lingering disease of JP society that is keeping dehumanizing some folks with the defective influence of pop-culture…

Judging from the last couple of postings, people may hold a wrong perception of toward a sword in general, possibly due to the symbolic image of "Japanese sword" which was rhetorically constituted in the context of WWII.

This dare-devil young man's talent as a celebrity will never be on the wane, in spite of media blitz featuring his brother's unprofessional behavior inside and outside the ring as well as a recent sever with Kyouei gym.
