Best Answer

The samurai were responsible only to their master who in turn were part of a chain of alliances ranging up to the emperor. Samurai had no lateral responsibility and if told to attacker kill an equal would do so without hesitation. Ronin (masterless samurai) were pretty much on their own. Challenges were e met, failure to accept challenges was not an option for samurai or ronin.
