He mentions twice how he feels he was supposed to die during the war, both times he throws in a little graveyard humor, and both times the audience laughs. And he died in consciously futile attempt to expel the Americans from Japan. The world is lucky we had him for 25 years.
He says "... luckily enough", and it might be so for our purposes, but later on it was torment for himself. He was denied a "heroic" death.
