I am not sure if all this demand (to be a suicide bomber!) is because of brainwashing.

Demonic possession then??

but she has zero understanding of the Japanese culture, and their sense of honor.

Ahh.. that euphemism for human pride and the avoidance of being shamed, no matter the means... That's what they call "honor"..

It's not the kind of "honor" you think it is Zonder. Otherwise, there would not be a "Yakuza" in Japan.

Arabs feel this same sense of pride.. but one thing for the Japanese is that, for them, it would have beeen dishonorable to target civilians with their kamikaze attacks. There was no glory in sacrificing their lives to kill unarmed opponents.
