A former juvenile involved in the "Mat Death" case is voicing out for the punishment and compensation claim. The individual, whose identity is not revealed due to legal restrictions, is pressing for a serious review of the damages resulting from the incident. The unnamed person is evoking various responses from a nation that typically promotes rehabilitation over retribution amongst youth offenders.

In Japan, a high degree of attention is given to protecting the identities of juvenile criminals due to the nation's primary focus on rehabilitation over retribution. Therefore, public opinion varies greatly on the matter, with some believing in the need for sterner justice, whilst others maintain the importance of empathy and rehabilitation.

Unlike Japan, the U.S. or EU often places heavier emphasis on punishment for juvenile offenders, depending on the severity of the crime. Nevertheless, privacy of juvenile criminals is also protected by law to some extent, but the views on how to handle juvenile crimes still differ significantly.
