I remember in the 90s these attacks briefly entered the popular stereotype of Japan, although it didn't last. Also there was one Star Trek novel that tried to fold them into the Eugenics Wars.

This reminds me of Underground by Haruki Murakami in which he talks to various Aum Shinrikyo members and all admitted they had been poached through the methods mentioned. A lot of them seem to have been university students or officer workers who felt alienated by Japanese society, Aum gave them something they wanted in life.

It would have been horrifying and interesting if they’d manage to detonate a nuclear bomb in 1995. The ramifications would be massive.

The oddest one is how Aum Shinrikyo "maybe" had a nuclear or radiological event in Australia.

Australian Desert Event.
