I remember watching a slowed-down gif of this with a friend and feeling so bizarre that we can relive moments of the past so vividly with modern technology.

MODERATORS
This photo is actually directly after the first stabbing and before the attempted 2nd stabbing (he would be restrained before completely a second strike). The injuries sustained before this photo would lead to Asanuma's death.
