Basically in the manga. It was shown that it was Not in the CIA's best interests for the shogun to survive the Coup(Which was also partially the CIA's doing- the soldier who fired an RPG at the imperial guard during the cease fire in the capital was an disguised CIA agent). Unknown to walken there were 2 CIA assets on his squadron during the coup. One is Lt Irma Thesleiff and another one of the Hunter callsigns who is her handler. Irma is a hypnotized sleeper agent so she herself doesn't even know she is working for the CIA. during Meiya's speech the 2nd CIA agent triggered Irma's f22's hypnosis system and forced Irma thesleiff to engage one of the Coup TSF(The MLA VN had Walken shout"What are doing Lt Thesleiff") and starting the ensuing firefight so the CIA agent can kill the Real Shogun and make it look like the coup forces did it. During the firefight Walken noticed that one of his men is targeting the Real shogun's TSF and using his commander codes he locked all of the weapon system on the CIA agents 's F22. Walken told him to RTB and be ready to give a damn good explanation why he is trying to kill the shogun. The agent however possess a master code for all the hunter F22s courtesy of the Pentagon and overrode Walken's codes. Using the same master code, the agent then shut down all major systems on Walken's F22 just as walken was about to engage Sagari causing Walken's untimely demise at the hands of Sagari(You will note in the VN during the fight Walken was in a state shock and suprise). The CIA agent was killed shortly after by one of Sagari's men during the chaos.

Since in the VN it was completely from Takeru's POV it had the hilarious knock on effect of making Takeru believe you can "row row fight the power "with pilot skill and banzai spirit for the rest of Alternative
Also Kouki himself made it very clear that The rafale is far superior compared to a type 94 and yet when Sagari was piloting the Rafale he could not defeat Walken in a F22 as shown in TDA.

I've always wondered, why did Sagari fight Walken in TDA?

Spoiler for TDA:

And who are the cybreed?
