My wish is - He was a white hat and the assassination was faked.

My 1st thought when I heard the news was: Remember he was sick and had to step down, maybe he didn't much time left and wanted to go out this way so he can be remembered or revered..but it doesn't make sense.

2nd theory: The current prime minister ordered the hit because Abe's influence is still too far and wide among their circle.

3rd theory: He was invited to WEF in 2019.. maybe after that, he withdrew from WEF and didn't want to do WEF's bidding, so he got punished, first poisoned (just guessing), and then had to step down, and the assassination (shot around the world) is a warning to other WEF members/associate not to go rogue or defy their orders.

4th theory: He's a white hat and in witness protection for the sake of his family and white hats knew there was an order to kill Abe so they had to fake his death and get him in hiding.

5th theory: His own party murdered him, he knew too much, and made too many deals, or that if he's a martyr they'll vote for that party next time. Or they're trying to promote even more gun control, but they can't since it's already illegal to own guns there.
