Like he dishonored himself or whatever, and they were like "sorry man you gotta seppuku" and he was like "yeah....the only problem is I can't remember where I put my sword. I think it's in the other dojo. I'll go check" and then he just books it and runs off. That's probably what I would do.

Katanas were made of such shoddy iron I bet if samurais did a proper ab workout instead of raping and murdering peasants they'd just break the blade off with their glistening rock hard abs! It's like being hanged, if the rope breaks you get to go free

Maybe the really "bad" samurai made that up to get the "noble" losers out of the way

Wear a loose kimono, tie a bag animal guts to your abdomen, "gut" it, and refuse the mercy decapitation because you want to die with honor.

Then when they have your funeral rise up like a samurai ghost.

Sepukku ended up literally just being an execution method. You went along with it so the government didn't gently caress up your family too.

If a samurai had a colostomy bag they could probably get away with just cutting it open imo

I go to seppuku myself and a little flag pops out of the other end of my body that says "bang!" on it.

I don’t know if this is actually in any plays or whatever but I’ve definitely seen a kabuki play where one of the main scenes is someone having a conversation with a dude who’s in the middle of committing seppuku. Sword sticking halfway out of the gut and everything, the dying dude is sobbing and wailing like he’s already a ghost.

I’m not 100% sure how old that play is but if it was being performed when there were active samurai I can definitely see one of them heading home from a performance of that and coming up with a seppuku escape plan.

i've seen this magicians secret revealed. the flag is kept up the bum, and with practiced use of the bumhole muscles you make the flag pop out at the right time.

Yes, OP. This is why ronin were very common and also why they were dangerous and badass. When confronted, they would probably say something like "honour? that's a pretty word." And then they were cut down like twenty of the samurai cops trying to arrest them.

Source: none, just my logic and knowledge of animes and videogames.

A lot of this poo poo was never about honor, it was about the upper classes coming up with sadistic ways to punish people who pissed them off.

Then again, samurai were huge shits too, so gently caress 'em.

sure okay

I don't see why they would. It's a huge buff to your bleed damage for relatively little damage to yourself. The only real downside is that the animation for it is quite long.

Yeah, I came into the thread to bring up that movie too. I watched the old one, like, 5 years ago and it was great. If I remember right, there was a scam where you go up to some rich lord's manor and say, "Yo, I'm looking for a good place to kill myself. Can I use your courtyard?" Then because of superstitions about someone committing suicide in their house, the lord pays you to gently caress off. Works great until you run into the dude that calls your bluff. Gotta imagine that's when the topic of the thread comes up.
