A photograph of an entire nation being saved by one lone teenage boy with a sword, wearing his school uniform.

He hung himself with a bedsheet in prison 3 weeks later, a logical course of action since there he was basically guaranteed a death penalty or life imprisonment anyway.
His suicide note read;
'Long live the Emperor.' 'Would that I had seven lives to give for my country'
From what I read, he tried to kill himself on the stage immediately afterwards, but was stopped. Sounds like he knew from the start what he was in for, but went ahead anyway.

He tried to kill himself already on the stage but was arrested before he did.
