What was his problem?

>> No.13257284

He wanted to be a "real man", but there's no such thing. Only death can free you from ideals like that.

"Mishima received a draft notice for the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. At the time of his medical check up, he had a cold, and the young army doctor heard rales from the lung which was misdiagnosed as tuberculosis; Mishima was declared unfit for service."

He never quite got over that.

I could see this being true. Because he never got to test his manhood in that way, he became obsessed with it to the point that he subconsciously began to believe that he would have been the perfect warrior and savior of the Empire.

He was a gay man and he hid it. If he just downloaded grindr and fucked 100 cute jap boys, then there'd be no problem.

He purposely ocer exaggerated his health problems to get out of having to fight, he was very candid about it

>>13261024
It wasn't even a secret, he was well known to be gay, there are interviews with his gay lovers, one which he tells a story in which Mishima stormed out of a gay club after his lover playfully mocked his height
