I think there must be something more to this story, it wont change the fact that he murdered on cold blood dozens of people, but the motivation seems shallow to me. Maybe at the end of the day there is no further particular motivation from the culprit, but this alternative is even more frightening. I could be wrong but I get the sense that Japan as a society is a powder keg, you have adults routinely being overworked, living unhappy lives day in and day out with no free time to vent and no end to their misery beyond retirement. This is frightening because this might happen again in Japan, it might not be related to anime, manga or any of our hobbies, but that does not mean is less concerning and next time the perpetrator might have a full brain to begin with (this attack successfully killed many people not because he was a genius, but because that building was a fire trap and they had the bad luck of relaxing the security the day he appeared at their doorstep) |

You know, I probably shouldn't be giddy at this thought, but one does sneak in:
Here's what I've heard actually happens when someone gets the death penalty in Japan: they don't tell anyone when the execution date actually is. It could be (hypothetically speaking) as early as the first or second day he goes to death row, or it could be years from now. In other words, he's going to be living each day on death row not knowing if it's going to be the day they take him from his cell and execute him. I'm going to assume this might eventually cause a mental breakdown... not something I should ever be happy about, but this guy is the only exception to "wish no cruelty upon a person".

If a rich and powerful man like Carlos Ghosn had to flee Japan cuz the living conditions in prison are too harsh for him, imagine how it is for a future death row prisoner of lower social condition like that guy.

I would argue the Carlos Ghosn story is a VERY different incident, but that's completely off-topic.
More to the point, as I said, normally it is a horrendous idea to wish Hell upon anyone, but again, this guy is an exception to that. I think I mentioned it on an early page, but this murder was also slightly pre-mediated: there were chains found on the escape doors, and normally, KyoAni has as much security as any other place... but they were expecting guests on this day, and our murderer took advantage of the lax security. Short version is, I stopped seeing this guy as a human ages ago; I see him as a cold, cruel monster that deserves the worst Japan's system can give.

For those of us who don't read Japanese: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-68090388
The arsonist was sentenced to death, rejecting his attorney's plea that he was "mentally incompetent" at the time he set the fire.
