A samurai can lose his honor in various ways. One being if his lord is killed, but the samurai(s) survive. Another being if a peasant or anyone in general mocks a samurai. The last way being if a samurai is captured in battle, or retreats from a battle. Typically, if a samurai loses his honor, he is to commit "religious" suicide, also known as seppuku.
