A group of solders, standing in a small circle in a cave, commit suicide, one at a time, using grenades. Four suicides are seen on camera. The time from arming the grenade to the explosion is less than two seconds in first, second and fourth suicide and about three second in third. Clearly, no army would equip it's soldiers with grenades that would explode faster than they could be thrown. [Grenade fuses are commonly set to explode with 3.5 to 5.5 second fuses. some are set with no fuse, but to explode on impact. It doesn't take long to pull a pin and throw, certainly not more than 2 to 3 seconds, tops.]

Time

At the beginning of the film, the Olympic athlete says that his horses name is "Uranus" but later when the horse is killed in a bombing run he calls the horse "Jupiter". [Baron Nishi speaks of his competition horse and shows its photo to Kuribayashi while standing next to the horse that is killed later. Clearly, if they were the same horse, the photo would have been pointless to display. The live horse has white markings down the center of its face while the one in the photo has none. The horse brought to the island is another horse with a different name. It's easy to understand why Nishi would leave his Olympic-champion steed ('Uranus') safe at home, and, based on his status as a national hero, he'd have the pick-of-the-litter of military-issue horses ('Jupiter') to take with him to Iwo Jima.]
