The Japanese mentality is very different than what westerners are used to. The Japanese willingly volunteered for suicide missions. The CITIZENS of Okinawa jumped off of cliffs rather than live under U.S. Occupation. It took TWO atomic bombs and nearly a week to for them to surrender.

Japan got raped. The atomic bombs weren't even the worst of the bombing. America fire bombed and destroyed 30-50-60% of majority of their major cities. Killing hundreds of thousands

And in Japanese culture to surrender is the worst kind of dishonour imagineable. America broke them to pieces

A lot of Japanese leadership was for surrendering, but there was a prevailing atmosphere of fear when it came to showing it - they were afraid that they would be targeted by the extremists that they themselves bred... as evidenced by the coup attempt on the 15th of August in response to the move to surrender by the Japanese government.
The end of the coup came when a single Japanese officer managed to shame all of the rebellious officers into going home then committed seppeku 9 days later... Dat Japanese style.

Iirc theres actually a fair amount of evidence saying that the Japanese army heavily encouraged/forced the Okinawans to commit suicide.
-------------------- "I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."
