Even if he thought the war was still on, he was killing CIVILIANS. People obviously not in uniform, living their lives in their homes. And he demanded that his superior officer come and relieve him. He thought that, after 30 years of constant war, his commanding officer was still alive? Despite being sent to the Phillipines in December of ’44, by which point Japan was CLEARLY losing?
Hiroo Onoda was a murderer and a psychopath, nothing more.

damn i feel bad for him
It makes sense from a PTSD and mental health perspective but no person in their right mind would have taken his actions.
In the Philippines?
Viagra boys taught me this.
He literally heard radio broadcasts and thought it was a psy-op.
Teruo Nakamura was the one who ended up next to an airbase. Also, he didn’t kill locals he just hung out for a few decades.
Edit: clarification Teruo didn’t kill locals, Hiroo obviously did.
