what does it mean!?!?!?!

切迫【せっぱく】 (n,vs) pressure; urgency; tension; imminence; acuteness;
雪白【せっぱく】 (adj-na,n,adj-no) snow-white; pure; immaculate
節迫【せっぱく】 (n) end of the year

Those are all "seppaku"

But if you're actually referring to "seppuku," it's a ritualistic suicide where the person disembowels himself.
