The revenge of the twenty Samurai, The Last Samurai, The last of Bushido, The Samurai who died, the Samurai who fought.
Those last two were ones I just made up in there because they sounded about right. That's what they do. Kill and be killed. Kill themselves even. The paradox to this is, that apart from Buddist Monks, or a.k.a. "those insaine bald men who wear hidious orange robes and live on secluded mountaintops", they have the most respect for life. They appreciate and value the ways of humanity. Honor, Respect, Beauty, Courage, Loyalty. They are the ones who know what "glory" means. I have done nothing that is worth glory in my life and it makes me very...very sad. I know little about Bushido, I havn't ever read a whole book of it. I do not have extensive training, I have never met a Samurai.
But I know that they are warriors. And I know that they have more honor than most crusaders. And I know that somethings are right, and some things are wrong. And that all is fair in Love and War is not a saying that I want to be true.
