    Sounds like the work of spoiled kids. Like not actual children, but maybe college-age young adults who come from wealthy families, maybe on the track to being business executives like you said. They don't care about money, and being an executive (or one in training) is stressful and not fun. Very restrictive. So something like this is a way to lash out, "for fun", not about any material gain or even a real philosophy.

      I always thought the same since that time. The way they refer to the police. The lack of concrete reason to do that. The preposterous ransom. The name that seems to come from a Junji Ito manga. All points to boys with too much free time.

    Yes! The horns make an appearance!
    One of the other theories I've seen is that it wasn't just a shot at Glico, but also at the police, which makes sense considering the taunting. Japan's justice system notoriously has issues around how they treat 'solving' cases, so this could be a two-for-one shot at competitors and the cops.

    To the comment section police fools:
    I don't really think that this was done by competing company businessmen. When you're financially invested in the candy market, creating a scheme where products are seemingly arbitrarily poisoned and creating a lot of media attention around that fact will hurt not just the competition, but you as well, since customers might wisely decide to skip candy for a while. Also, there are ways of harming the competition that are significantly less risky than kidnapping one of their CEOs. I feel like in this instance, there may actually have been no profit incentive behind the crime. Personally, I suspect it was a group of frustrated dentists trying to get people to stop eating so much sugar.

    • @mirandagoldstine8548

      For me it feels like a revenge scheme concocted by at least two disgruntled employees of the respective companies that were targeted. Think Strangers on a Train with one employee grumbling on how much they hate Glico and another person from a different company overheard them and suggested why not target Glico with a scare tactic with the Glico employee in turn targeting the other company. Thus no one would realize that it was part of a conspiracy of employees from two different companies. At least that’s my theory.

    • @agranero6
      @agranero6 6 місяців тому

      @@mirandagoldstine8548 I doubt. In Japan you rarely, and I mean rarely is fired from a company: it is tabu (the Olympus scandal happened because they hired an American CEO because he would not be afraid to fire people but they forgot that he would not hide the accounting crimes too). Even when you are a bad worker your boss is usually blamed for not making or training you to do your work. Work conditions could be very bad in the 80s (that is far better now) but most people found that a fact of life (new generations have a very different idea about that nowadays). It is not a thing that I can envision at that time. One person disgruntled happen from time to time, but Japanese modus operandi was to kill some executive in public (it happened with executives, politicians, etc, let's remember the prime minister recently) or kill themselves publicly (let's remember Yukio Mishima). Not at that time, today maybe but I doubt.

    Presumably the perpetrator(s) were either solely or partly motivated by: sadistic attention seeking; profit. If one were to take a short position on the stocks of the targeted (and other confectionery companies, since their stocks would likely have suffered as well) and time things right, you could make a heck of a lot of money. A short is basically betting that a stock price will go down, and you pocket the difference. A bigger drop means more money.

    • @mirandagoldstine8548
      @mirandagoldstine8548 2 роки тому +1

      My personal theory is that it was about targeting the heads of Glico and Morinaga and punishing them for ruining their lives, or at least how the conspiracy members felt their lives were ruined (which I suspect was concocted a la strangers on a train). There are a number of black companies in Japan which means the employees are overworked with some even dying so it could be possible this was the goal of the monster. I have no clue if Morinaga and/or Glico are considered black companies so if anyone from Japan reads this and is more familiar with the internal organization of those companies please chime in.

  • @jamie1602

    I agree with your conclusion. While we can't figure out just who the identities were... that's just it. Who exactly would get away with it? A number of business men who are on the inside who are fed up with their jobs. Japanese business culture is tedious and can often be somewhat abusive.
    But... in the end, the idea of upholding quality products that do not harm customers is also a thing. It's more of an Asian ideal to take responsibility for those around you and do the right thing. It's a White Western idea to go "piss off, I'll cause chaos, screw everyone". These are generalizations but it might explain something here.
    The only thing that doesn't exactly gel is the idea of paying condolences to someone they've bullied into suicide. That usually doesn't happen. Emphasis on usually, but hey you can be surprised. But... here's what backs you up, Jules. Their target was never intended to be the police. It was, collectively, their bosses. They wanted their bosses to lose money for whatever reason. They never wanted people to get hurt, like you said. The idea someone killed themselves out of shame and stress attempting to solve the crime (which again they were hidden by their company keeping them concealed so they could work as they pleased) could wreck someone's conscience.
    So I'd say you're right. I'd say a number of office workers with access to the manufacturing process likely conducted all of this...
    And my guess is the twenty-one is that there were twenty-one of them in total. It's a riff on the manga and a blatant homage to who they are. Twenty-one upset, unhappy disgruntled employees longing to make a statement for how they were treated and watching fellow employees be mistreated. In the end, it backfired. They never wanted anyone to get hurt. They didn't even want their CEO to get hurt because, as you pointed out, he inherited his job and they were never mad at him.
    Those involved may be retired at least or at worst, dead... That's unfortunate.
    I quite enjoy Glico and Morinaga snacks so... Thank you.

    One thing that popped into my mind;
    Maybe the perpetrators aren't CEOs, but salarymen? I know that Japan has a pretty strict working culture, and many employees become disgruntled and resentful, not just towards their place of employment but to corporations as a whole. That could explain why they chose a train station as the place for the ransom to be delivered (the working people of Japan typically use public subways to commute to work), why they had knowledge of PR and how much money the companies would lose, and why their emails were so formal and structured.

    Lets remember the case in Japan of the vending machines. Sometimes people left a can of unopened beverage over or near a vending machine that they didn't drink for others to take. But someone began to let poisoned can beside machines. I don't remember the details but killed at least 10 people. People off course stopped drinking cans left near vending machines. Let's remember that vending machines are pervasive in Japan There are several ones beside one another even in the most desert and remote places. It was in 1985 (soon after this case) it became known as the paraquat murders because of the name of the herbicide used to poison the beverage. Today is much more difficult to have access to herbicides in an uncontrolled way in Japan because this case.

    I feel like maybe the monster with 21 faces WAS glico. Just think about it. We’ve already come to the conclusion that they were Business men. If they are really that smart it would make sense to target themselves to make it seem like it’s not them. And they just happen to not actually poison to sweets for glico. But I guess a big hole in this is that it cost them so much money. I feel like if they wanted to target themselves to make it not seem like it was them then they could have done it in a cheaper way.

    I think it was some kind of political thing, an act of terrorism more than extortion. They said things like "The Industry has suffered enough" and stopped when that Police Chief set himself on fire. Since suicide in such a way holds a cultural significance in Japan, I believe the perpetrators saw this as a win. They said he "Died like a man", almost as if it was their intention. I don't think they were driven by profit. I think that was just to throw police off.
    What if their targets weren't actually the corporations, but the police? They obviously had a strong resentment for them.
