Japan: Man sentenced to death for Kyoto anime fire which killed 36

The arson attack in a revered Kyoto animation studio killed 36 people and injured dozens more.
It's trippy for such a technologically advanced country that they still do hangings
The Gundam Firing Squad is out for repairs, and they couldn't find a pen to write his name in the Death Note.
This legitimately made me laugh
They are very conservative and toxic in many things sadly. It doesn't sit right with their international image. The country of contrasts I guess.
I don't condone the death penalty.
But....
...that fucker killed 36 people by setting a building on fire. Let's suppose that a few of them didn't die by smoke inhalation, but actually being burned alive. That fucker burned alive people. One of the most painful deaths one can experience.
I'd say hanging (and again I don't condone it!!!!) is getting out easy.
This is death penalty version of I'm not racist but
Considering how Japan's justices system is as bad as the US there definitely shouldn't be a death penalty in ANY circumstances
According to the autopsies most people died due to burns rather than smoke
Let the fucker hang, and that's the least we could do
Kinda sounds like you might be for the death penalty....
Im not sure its any worse than any method done today outside of inert gas asphyxiation, which ironically has gotten a lot of pushback. If death penalty is done they should allow a choice of options a state could reasonably accomodate with the most humane one they can figure out as the default.
Death by snu-snu.
I didn't think they still had the death penalty even.
