>>50888714They haven't had a PM (or in this case, former PM) assassination since the 30s, which is when they were just savages by comparison to their moral compass today.
The fact that the attack was so brazen, in broad daylight, in a public place with an improvised weapon made to kill has shook them up good. Shit like this doesn't tend to happen in Japan, not in the "modern, peaceful and proud" nation they like to present themselves as.
People from 3 different generations saw this shit and only now realized how fucked up the world is, this is going to change them as a people forever. You might balk at that, but if you're from anywhere else in the world, you're already desensitized to political killings.
Having said that, it won't change pogeyman vidya info in the slightest, the international corpo money calendar doesn't give a shit about some gigasupermegaultranationalist getting a lead stake through the heart. Next week or the week after for the trailer.
