Samurai no longer exist. Ever since guns were invented (somewhere around the 1800's) they no longer stood a chance since they only had swords and bows and arrows. Although they do not exist anymore, their suicide ritual of seppuku is still done by a few (very few) Japanese. Seppuku is a suicidal ritual where the person (usually someone of high rank, poor people did not commit seppuku) cuts open their abdomen. It can be considered as a way to test strength because it was amazing to be able to make the full three cuts. Then, a close friend cuts off their head, swiftly. The Samurai were killed because they believed in woman not having any rights and other things like that, but Japan wanted change. So, the Samurai had to go.
