In my 20s I had a boss who said he wouldn't accept my resignation, so I stopped showing up. Works every time.

Do that in Japan and you're gonna be unemployed forever. You'll either open your own business (fat chance of that succeeding) or move abroad (again, with what money in your 20's?).

Yeah, that's why these agencies exist. Use them and you can literally stop showing up to work and still get all your required documents, with no hassle.

Right, you'll be unemployed forever, in a country with a labor shortage.

Sounds legit.
