The day before his failed medical exam, Mishima wrote a farewell message to his family, ending with the words "Long live the Emperor!", Tennō heika banzai), and prepared clippings of his hair and nails to be kept as mementos by his parents. The troops of the unit that Mishima was supposed to have joined were sent to the Philippines, where most of them were killed. Mishima's parents were ecstatic that he did not have to go to war, but Mishima's mood was harder to read; Mishima's mother overheard him say he wished he could have joined a "Special Attack"unit. Around that time, Mishima admired kamikaze pilots and other "special attack" units in letters to friends and private notes.
