I hope that the family receives justice, the charge is changed to what it really is, and that the criminal caught. That man is very clearly too full of himself to have actually died, that man must be out there somewhere.

I'm pretty sure he is dead. Everyone who lives in a coastal city knows exactly how dangerous it is to try and "swim" in the ocean since ocean currents can easily pull you far from shore and it's pretty much confirmed this criminal tried to do that.

[@BlehBlahBlegh]

Woah!!! I’ve been seeing his photos all over Tokyo subways! I was wondering what the deal was

[@Saturn_13]

What I wanna know, is how the fuck they lost complete sight of this guy after he ditched his shirt at the harbor. Japan has hella surveillance and we’re being led to believe that not one camera or one witness caught sight of a shirtless and shoeless dude booking it through the streets??? Either homie really did end his own life or there’s something super fishy going on.

[@MiloShaw9190]

They didn't. There is literally video of him, shirtless, jay walking near the Harbor. It's just that's the only other footage they have of him, so he presumably had another outfit close by, or someone picked him up after he broke away from line of sight.

[@wakannnai1]

Because he's likely dead. Even if he was "built perfectly," the ocean can easily pull you far from shore to the point even an Olympic athlete likely won't be able to make it back. Add in the fact that the guy was probably either drunk or high on drugs (and this very clearly wasn't premeditated), his survival chances are almost non-existent.

[@wakannnai1]

​@@MiloShaw9190Yeah that doesn't fit either. That would mean he planned it out, which is extremely unlikely. There's almost no connection other than the random bad encounter between the two.

[@StrongestNormal]

​@@wakannnai1 doesnt mean it had to been pre meditated if he may have just called a dude from his criminal life to help em out in some way or another he didnt have to tell that person picking him up. I dunno if he is alive or not but dude definitely is hella crazy.

​@@StrongestNormalhe left his phone though and left like immediately right after he did it. Ig he could've called beforehand but it just doesn't sound likely

Blackmail if you don't do what we say we'll tell them where you are. He can work at bars and bring in customers even have people come to him thinking he wants to date them and extort them or force them into prostitution it's very common over there. With his looks he can do alot that or he can just get a sugar daddy or mama and be taken care of but I think his family knows where he is and he's having help staying hidden and finance help the cops over there are so damn incompent it's terryfing.

Many people in Japan didn't feel sorry for the victims. In fact, a few articles in the internet claimed "亡くなった方には可哀想かもしれませんが、この程度のレベルの大学に通う学生なんて山ほど居ますし、亡くなったのがこの方で良かったという見方もできるでしょう。人間のValueには優劣があるわけで、これがもし九州大学の学生や大分大学の医学部生だったら本当に目も当てられないところでした" Which means the victim is a low ranking school student, so people shouldn't really care. I was absolutely shellshocked that people like this exist. 編集：デマだとほざく日本人達へ。実際にいくつかこのような記事があるから、言い訳を言えば言うほど立場が悪くなるだけ。黙って静観するか、自分で調べてから出直してこい。 迷惑かけんな

[@Awordforangeleaves]

WTF

[@Asianalysis]

We've seen these articles throughout research. Absolutely unacceptable. There is this weird stereotype going around in Japan that the university in which the victim attended is such an easy university to get into, full of delinquent students. I believe this stemmed from the university being known for having one of the largest base of international students in Japan, many of them on a scholarship. So the university might have to accept some students domestically who may not have performed the best academically, but are still willing to pay full tuition. And knowing some faculty members in the university and sometimes hearing their concerns in which they have while teaching, I have to unfortunately admit that there are indeed some domestic students who may not be, let's just say, the most "respectful" during the lectures. But are the majority of the students who attend the university such? I probably have to shout the most resounding "no" to that question if this was a verbal conversation. The vast majority of students from this university are one of the most bright, positive and open-minded students that I've ever come across, including much of the Japanese students. So for some of the internet hermits in Japan (the majority of people in Japan have a large dislike towards them as well) who never stepped a foot into the campus and talked to one of the students to spread such negativity online when the victim literally lost his life and their family, their one and only son, is just beyond heart-boiling. So we understand how shocked you must have felt when you came across such an article, and we wanted to do our part here to let people understand that such negativity around the victim is just completely unfounded, written by a minority number of hermits within country who do not know how things are like outside of their rooms.
