I would also start with the Japaneses businessman, but instead of focusing on him being Japanese, I will here focus on him being a businessman in an office. Combine that with the veteran soldier, whose job it is to fight, and I wonder whether this dream is work related. Are you currently "fighting" a difficult situation at work?
Disclaimer: I have had high stress at work myself and I have had bouts of depression, so this dream interpretation is heavily influenced by my own experience, which may or may not apply to you as we'll.
When fighting an archangel, I think one expects to loose. Also the way you self sacrifice at the end - you justify it as saving another nobly, but it is a self sacrifice, admitting failure, and embracing death. Could you be depressed? Please look up symptoms of depression if you do not know them, and if you think you got it, do seek out help: friends and family, religious/church pastoral care, and/or a therapist if needed.
unlike in this dream, where there is no one aside from one friend left to fight this battle with you, I bet in real life you can recruit others to help you fight whatever it is you are struggling with. You don't have to do it alone, and I bet you do not have to fail. there are other options, even if the situation may look bleak to you - which is in part why you need someone else's help, to help you see another way out of the problem.
Edit: I thought of one possible Japanese connection: The Japanese samurai are known for their practice of harakiri which is a suicide to save honor. So in this possible interpretation you may have had the dream ending in your subconscious already at the time you saw the Japanese businessman. The Japanese man may be you as well, dieing several times in this bleak dream.
