Then he became known as Yukio Mishima. However, his father stood in the way of his writing. He was grumpy. The boy's writing could not be tolerated at all. He would even destroy any of his writings. The devastation of post-war Japan shook Mishima. The erosion of nationalist values and abhorrent traditions has always been in his writings. At the same time, the thought of death has always been in Mishima's career through her works of art. But he never surrendered his life to drugs or gas, admitting defeat to despair.

On November 25, 1980, Mishima and four members of the Shield Society stormed the Tokyo headquarters of the Self-Defense Force, tied up its commander, General Masuda, and threatened 700 generals with a sword to come to the courtyard to hear Misima's speech. In that speech, he spoke of the military's abandonment of post-war democracy and the resurgence of samurai rule in ancient Japan.
