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.
Bushido is the name of the code of honor of samurai. : )
Samurai were Japanese warriors, known for their loyalty, honor, and skill in combat.
They must follow Bushido which is the samurai code of honor.
From About.com Bushido: The code of conduct followed by Japan's samurai warriors. The principles of bushido emphasized honor, courage, and loyalty to a warrior's master above all else. The ideal samurai warrior was supposed to be immune from the fear of death. Only the fear of dishonor, and loyalty to his daimyo, motivated the true samurai.
Depends... wait... no it doesn't! Samurai had 4 different classes: 1st sentry, second sentry, third sentry, and elite samurai. A spartan would wipe a samurai off his windshield like a bug! But... elite samurai v.s. regular spartan... it would probaly end in a... DRAW SPARTANS HAD shortswords, sheilds, body armor, wallabe spear, and brute strength. SAMURAI HAD kia bow, katana, omsoul club(wooden club with beads), and Honor. WINNER: SPARTAN
Samurai would commit Seppuku to avoid disgrace and dishonour upon them, their families and their country.
