Who cares? The gunman was successful in eliminating the intended target and with no causalities. The gunman also went quietly into police custody. He achieved his goal and was mentally ready and accepted the consequences of his actions.
This doesn't have to be a political thing. There are many insane religious cults in Japan like the Happy Science people or the Aum Shinrikio cult that did that sarin gas attack on the subway system
The video of it looks fake to me as well. The way he falls to his knees looks like acting, and there's no blood despite one of the paramedics saying he couldn't tell if the shot came from the front or back, so clearly it went straight through and took some flesh - where's the blood?
And then of course the videos are conveniently blurry like a 1990s home video, in 2022 when everyone (especially in japan) has a phone with like 3 HD cameras on it...
If he was faking he wouldn't have waited for the second shot. The first shot misses and Abe is still talking. You can see his clothes move on the second shot and he falls.

But this was some awesome macguyvering. Nothing chinks make works right. But nips get er done.
Suspect is Tetsuya Yamagami, who once served in the defense force. I think Japan still hangs people, right?
