In August 1945 Japan had or planned to have by the time Operation Olympic started:
Over 10,000 planes for use as kamikazes.
300 Ohka rocket planes.
1,000 manned torpedoes.
8,000 explosive packed boats.
1,000 midget submarines.
4,000 frogmen armed with explosive charges for use against landing craft.
Several thousand suicide bombers armed with satchel charges.
If Operation Downfall actually happened how many casualties/deaths would Japan's suicide arsenal plausibly cause the WAllies?
