What is 5 ways that a samurai comit suicide?

Answer 1

Samurai traditionally practiced seppuku, a form of ritual suicide, to preserve their honor. This often involved disemboweling themselves with a short sword, followed by a kaishakunin (a designated assistant) who would decapitate them to hasten death. Other less formal methods included hara-kiri (another term for seppuku), suicide by battle, or death through starvation. While rare, some samurai also chose to take their own lives through poison or jumping from heights as a means of avoiding capture or dishonor.
