>I just can't find any meaning in nihilism's ultimate consequences
I don't think your take is entirely wrong, but again, he wasn't driven to suicide because he supposedly was a nihilist. Nihilism means you don't assign value to things. Mishima assigned negative value to modern Japan. If he was a nihilist, he wouldn't have cared: it would mean nothing to him. I don't think I can put this in more simple fashion. Stop using the word in this context, it doesn't mean what you think it does. The definition doesn't care about your opinion.
