The Twitter thread (I refuse to call it X) was all about Yukio Mishima, but I am reminded of one or more of the insane ramblings of Nietzsche.

In the case of the Japanese guy, he joined the Russian Army explicitly to go and die in battle, fighting for a people who fought at least two wars with Japan (Russo-Japanese War of 1905 and World War II) and against a people who bear him no ill will in particular, Ukrainians. But. going the other way, if he kills anyone it is going to be uniformed soldiers on the other side, who presumably are aware of the risks of that kind of thing.

On a personal note, I must admit I'm jealous, at least a little bit. The whole death in battle being the only path to admission to Valhalla thing, possibly.

"Valhalla, I am coming..." (viking kitties is naturally the best version of this)
