Watching this amazing video rather than just the picture that usually gets shared around, you can feel an even greater sense of appreciation for the logistics and the heroics of Otoya Yamaguchi. Look at the incredible speed in which he buries his katana deep into the guts of that fat Commie fuck. Look at the instantaneous reaction from the crowd upon its execution. How Yamaguchi moved with such celerity that Asanuma couldn’t even himself react at all until the hilt of the sword was pressed into the fabric of his coat.

Yamaguchi had to time the unsheathing of his sword, launching onto the stage, and perfectly aiming the blade down to a window in which mere milliseconds and centimeters would have caused the entire assassination to fail. And yet, as if God Himself were guiding his hands and feet, everything about it was executed to pure perfection.

Truly a hero. The world needs more heroes like him. Otoya Yamaguchi, BANZAI!!! 🇯🇵
