What I find suspicious is that Something has already lived in Japan for quite some time. If he wanted to get another short term work visa, why would he have problems? That makes no sense. How did Demon1 get his visa in such a short time? For Demon1 I understand, the embassy might think he is a Russian spy living in USA. But he gets his passport and something doesn't? Weird.
Pretty sure it's not that simple right. Even if he had a work visa before; it was a company specific work visa for sengoku gaming, his prior team. Who knows how long it took him to get that? Maybe it was a super long time. Just because he very recently had a work visa for that org in japan doesn't mean that getting another one for another company(a non-native one no less) is gonna go fast. That just not necessarily how it works, especially being a russian citizen with all the politics of the russo-ukrainian war.
And what/who exactly do you find suspicious in this scenario? It's not like PRX wanted to hamstring themselves and no other parties involved have the power to slow down visa stuff or would even want to. Also, as someone else said, demon1 is a us citizen.
