The 200 days of fuel you've mentioned a couple of times (Japan's initial fuel reserves) have passed by now, and he must have burned through his fuel reserves like crazy. Even though he has conquered some oil producing areas (DEI, Borneo, if I remember correctly) his fuel situation must be dramatic by now. He might not (yet) be running on fumes, but the danger of running out of fuel must be a constant threat.
His Hawaiian operation has definitely faltered. You seem to be only a very few steps away from permanently securing Pearl Harbor (it sounds as if it is about to become too dangerous even for the KB).

“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”
