This is not how it worked. The Samurai who died choosed when his assistant killed him, because if he had any signs of pain, it was worthless. The head wasnt cut off, there had to be a bit of skin left.
@claudelebel55 If I were ever to do something to dishonour Myself so horribly, or My family, I would hope that I'm man enough to do just that. Am I saying that I am? Quite the contrary. We've become a culture of spineless pussies, and while I wish that I could say that I'm better than this, I will not posture such. That said, I believe that it was a very good practice and that people who are failures or otherwise shameful should take their own lives.
@DarthVil Hi. Just want to say that I agree that honor and integrity are too often dispensed with by the majority of people but I do believe that the taking of full responsibility does not necessitate the taking of one's life. In the book Zero Limits, there is a true story about a criminal who stunned the court into respectful silence when he pleaded guilty instead of pleading temporary insanity as they had expected him to do. It is a very beautiful example of what I mean. .... continued
@claudelebel55 I think paying the debts to society is a good thing. Politicians should kill themselves more often. They say that you can't ask more than a man's life. If he gives he lifes, he gives all. So it's all settled.
@BrFelo To give your life does not mean to kill yourself. It means to give up your selfishness, your self-centeredness .... not an easy thing to do for most people. This is where spirituality comes in. Try reading zero limits. I'm not crazy about Joe Vitale but the teachings of Dr Hew Len are powerful ones. It is all about inner transformation.
@claudelebel55 "To give your life does not mean to kill yourself" I agree with that. But suicide cab ne the easiest, fastest or the only option of dignity.
It so common to see people giving their lives for their jobs, their family. And I'm not saying about being killed, i'm saying about living 30 to 70 years to something else that isn't you.
@BrFelo about living 30 to 70 years to something else that isn't you.- that's right but this is also ego-based and misguided - You must be true to yourself but people compromise out of fear or greed - giving your life does not mean becoming a people pleaser - it means giving your life to a higher principle, call it Truth, God, Love whatever you like. Without such clarity, whatever we do will create unecessary suffering. .
@claudelebel55 The thing about ego.... is your family, your loved ones, your propriety, part of you or part of something else? I think it is both, many things connects ourselves with outter world.
The hard part is something total strange... total Other, like a far-foreigner propriety, or the freedom of drug-addicts street people that lives in your own city....It needs insane clarity to see it as part of you.
@BrFelo I would say, there is nothing to force. Simply looking, honest looking and seing of where we are in disharmony, where we are forcing and where we are selling out either out of fear or in order to get something. Eventually all manipulation leaves you and you become simple. Check out Mooji and Adyashanti if you are interested in these kinds of things. If they don't appeal, there are many others ....
@daniel55645 well I've heard that if they were honor less and everybody hated the person, then there would be no beheading because it puts you out of the pain, so they just suffer
You'd have to have a lot of guts to carry this ritual out inserting a tonga into the left side of your abdomen and moving it right to left sometimes upward for a quicker death. the samurai were great and brave warriors by code of honor!
Out of context, but say Yes to legal and painless euthanasia for the eternally mentally tormented, why should we have to go through the trauma of life with a fucked up brain and face the trauma of a painful, distressing and sordid suicide such as this? And yes i know seppuku was out of digrace as opposed to torment, tho the two can come hand in hand
this isn't "dumbassery" you fool. This came from a time and country where honor actually meant something. The amount of discipline and devotion to honor these elite warriors had to have to be called samurai is more than anything anyone will ever experience today.
@UmbraPrelaitor i think this excution is really amazing. it takes real self control to stape yourself and knowing you will die 5 seconds later. if i would be excuted for a terrible crime, i would wanna go like this
@MrDikkehamster That's very noble and brave of u. I, on the other hand, am too afraid to stab myself. I just got over my sudden urges to stab myself actually. (no suicidal thoughts)
@UmbraPrelaitor it's indeed very difficult for the mind to hurt itself, almost impossible. but i want to be executed like this ( not that i will make this happen im a good guy :) i am not suiicidal of something but if i do something teribble i have no honor.( samurai i know :P ) and theirfore i will punish myslef for it. i love the way of the samurai, the way they lived and thought.
@MrDikkehamster Seppuku is performed to reestablish the honor lost for a failure or something similar.
While in the process of seppuku, the samurai is not allowed to flinch or cry in pain, because that would mean the loss of honor. That's why there's always a second samurai to cut his head off so the one performing the seppuku can keep his pride.
@RafaelD1994 ..hehe how? I'm not able to travel through time, so.. I just read it on Wikipedia and I thought it might interest some people who watch this video.
@gongyiliao@zinpgh@Saura74 The clip is from 13 assassins. The film is Takashi Miike's greatest work if you ask me. The second half of the movie is one big fight scene.
You have to be pretty badass to cut your own belly open and disembowel yourself. Any person who wishes to commit suicide should feel intense pain like this before they die. Suicide shouldn't be quick and painless.
@Sotasukka Yes it is, it's also the problem of all the friends and family around that person. The reason why it shouldn't be painless is because you have so many young people who make bullshit decisions to end their lives because of their current situations and not thinking about the 70-80 years they have left on this earth. Half ass decisions like those probably would be made less often if suffering was mandatory for suicide.
@aahayford well you may be right about youth, but if like 40 years old man wants to die after he has lost everything and his life is totally ruined... that would be acceptable
@l3054 an it as fleeting and mundane as greed... honoured dead is still dead, you get cold and burried, it's much better for sure, but not worth your life, it's just a mean for one to control the lives of others...
@levilisko im gonna die your gonna die so is everyone in the comments and everyone on the planet id rather go out fighting and die with honor than die as an old man shitting my pants
@l3054 well , that my friend is a ancient concept in my opinion, we are not in feudal japan, i'd rather live 100 years and die shitting my pants around my loving family then die at 30 with honor in some random battle for god knows what "important" thing...
also how is killing yourself honorable? i mean its the fastest way of escaping your problems, no matter how much pain someone inflicts on himself
@levilisko if youve ever known any fighters who lost a fight you could see the shame they suffered ive fought and won and lost sometimes and ive known the shame when battles are life and death you put your life on the line as long as people exist there will always be wars id rather it be warriors with honor than fat old politicians sitting in an armchair pressing a nuke button that idea is very scary when samurai commit seppuku its because honor is everything to them and the code they live their
@levilisko lives by when they are shamed in battle and have no ways of redeeming their honour they cant live with the shame most people today would never understand theyre happy with complacency and green paper
@levilisko also we dont all have or want loving families the worlds already overpopulated anyways and were running out of resources if anything we need more wars and disease to avoid mass starvation the point is that a warriors pride and dignity is the only way they know or want to live ive already said but most people would never understand martial arts and bushido arent for everybody only a few out there are of the right cut
@ThePoorShogun people have lived to 60 since hunting and gathering days. The only reason that average lifespans were so short were because they had to factor in the deaths related to childbirth. (of the infant and the mother) There are people that are 70+ years old, but still in great mental and physical health. Good habits will lead to good health later on in life.
guys this is not cruel burning innocent women now that was cruel...no one was forced to do harakiri it was just a way to die with your honor intact if you didnt want to do harakiri you didnt have to but you lost your honor
Ususally, samurai who disobeyed their master, or went against their clan lost their honour, and to regain their honour, they performed Seppuku, inwhich they stab themselves in the stomach, one of the most painful places, being decapitated obviously helped you die quicker and got rid of the pain for you, the man in this video obviously was disliked by his clan and they wanted him to go through pain for his clan, so they didnt decapitate him immediatley.
lol people are 'defending' seppeku, whatever that means?
The history of shinsengumi shows exactly what is wrong with seppeku. Not to mention that more modern units like the Kiheitai were superior exactly because they were more modern.
the idea of honorable death is not immediately obvious for men of today. e.g., suppose you, samurai refuse seppuku. what shall become of your vassals, clan, son and heir then? they all would be punished or killed by your enemies. seppuku retrieves your honor and protects your family by taking all responsibility. suicides just give up their social duty, but samurai who did this performed his duty.
@TheCassie2244 Of course it is fake...it looks to be part of a movie, or a film about Japanese culture, but that doesn't mean that these rituals didn't actually happen.
this is not an honorable way to die. it shows that you love your country but there are better ways to make up for your betrayal or cowardice in battle.
@DarkprinX2500 im a caucasian born american and totally disagree. samurai first started as mercenaries but changed overtime. only the weak minded cant understand this. most modern people are weak also. they cant even kill a rabbit without feeling sad or not doing it at all. humans are predators time to get over it. also people who insult seppuku are cowards and cant actually do this themselves,your comments show you are a weak human being wich should have been cut from your mothers womb at birth
@ApprenticeOfAnubis you expect me to accept this whole idea of this invisible honor.. and killing yourself to redeem it.. it's suicide in my book... anyone who would push someone to kill themselves because they believe they "dishonored" themselves or their family , or their master or whatever.. is even worse.. their murderers in my opinion.... and should be forced to kill themselves too.. i don''t care about this honor nonsense..
You're not supposed to accept or even understand this kind of 'invisible honor', it's not around anymore! At least not in western countries. Back in the old days in east Asia status and honor meant EVERYTHING. Of course it's not going to make sense by today's standards, what the hell do you expect?
@ApprenticeOfAnubis im sorry , but this is barbaric.. the samurai were more like gangsters than anything else.. making this guy disembowel himself and twist the blade too.. and then on top of that .. making him seffer a little before actually decapitating him.. i don't care about their reasons or justifications.. that's cruel .. i think that it's pathetic that you defend it.. .im glad the Japanese have moved past this.. you should be too.. life is a gift..
@DarkprinX2500 I am a humble person but I do have pride in my way of life and beliefs ,and I reply with Anger because you insulted my Honor by posting dumb comments. to not respond would to further dishonor myself and beliefs well anyway. have fun posting shit on youtube. its easy for people like you to do such things when you dont actually have to face people in person.
Seppuku is in some ways honorable and other ways Dishonourable.
Samurai commited Seppuku if one: they disobayed/ shamed their lord/master. this was because they were being dishonourable to their master.
two: to avoid being captured and tortured, and being tortured usually goes hand in hand with something called interrogation. in other words they die with their information so others cannot take it from them.
@sunnykwon0112 Actually it is honorable both times because it is easily one of the most painful ways to QUICKLY die by a short sword. Unless... you know, you can actually gather the balls to cut into your stomach, bring the blade around for a quick "twistaroo" and be done with it.
@sunnykwon0112 actually is becuse for a samurai accepting defeat and capture by itself was a dishonour it meant they had failed their master in battle and for so they considered seppuku to recover the honor, but what u say about torture and letting out information allso makes allot of sence
There is also seppuku for females. Instead of big cuts in the abdomen, the female kneels down and stabs herself in the throat, but her knees are tied together to stop her from thrashing around ( because it is thought of as dishonorable. There is no need for de- capitation because death is quick.
Did you know that hara- Kari and seppuku are two different things? Hara- Kari is two long left to right cuts, and seppuku is one left to right cut and then up. The de- capitation is just to put the shamed person out of their misery.
Well, if todays industry and bank leader would commit Seppuku it would show that they feel some resposibilty for their actions and forthermore give the impression that it should be that way BUT all that happens if some bank dude fucks up 10 Billion Dollar and therewith destroys countless families is that he gets his fee and moves to another employer. Awsome times. :)
Arguing that it's just "what they used to do" and that we can't judge it with our western perception of the world is ludicrous. People all over the world used to do barbaric shit and so did Japan. Suppuku isn't something we should, even in retrospective, accept.
@TheSpaghettus It isn't something you "accept" in retrospect. You're using presentism to apply modern ethics and morals to history. This is not something you should do. Look up the fallacy of nunc pro tunc.
@dcook32p Why not? I am somewhat familiar with ancient Japanese customs but that doesn't mean I agree with them. My point is that people in this comment feed argue that we, as modern westerners, can't "understand" the reasoning behind an action like that and therefore criticize it, because of it. Burning "witches" was stupid, killing non-believers was stupid, Seppuku was stupid. Instead of defending it we should just be happy that humanity learned and moved on from that.
@TheSpaghettus Burning witches and killing non-believers were stupid because they were based on irrational beliefs about the physical world.
Suicide isn't necessarily based on superstition. I don't admire the strict heirarchy of Japanese culture or some other aspects of their social structure. I can see how in certain contexts the concept of painful suicide as a demonstration of regret or a means of demonstrating responsibility could embody admirable traits.
Why is suicide a "stupid" idea and why are you happy that "humanity moved on from that"? I think that suicide is honourable in some circumstances and everything but stupid. Humanity is more stupid nowadays than ever before. Especially our Western society which is nothing more than a pile of shit.
@TheSpaghettus highly disagree. it should be used today I think I am born californian from the USA. italian / german ancestry. People who cannot understand this or people who are weak cannot grasp it its that simple like you said above. its easy to get cut down by an apponent in battle but to cut your own belly yourself and pull the blade in different motions takes courage beyond alot of people today. you may think its dumb , but the modern world is becoming weak, few men actually exist anymore
It is evident that the guys that criticize seppuku don't understand the japanese ancient way of life... We cannot judge something from our Western point of view, it's just pointless... If you call this a crime, a coward action or a stupidity, then you should avoid showing your ignorance and try to read...
Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw. Had two big horns and a wooly jaw. hari kari, hari kari hari kari, hari kari, hari kari. Hatty told Matty, "Let's don't take no chance. Let's not be L-seven, come and learn to dance." hari kari, hari kari, hari kari, hari kari, hari kari. Matty told Hatty, "That's the thing to do. Get you someone really to pull the wool with you." hari kari, hari kari. hari kari, hari kari, hari kari.

I don't agree with this form of punishment, but as a country, it has it's rituals

@l3054 an it as fleeting and mundane as greed... honoured dead is still dead, you get cold and burried, it's much better for sure, but not worth your life, it's just a mean for one to control the lives of others...

@l3054 well , that my friend is a ancient concept in my opinion, we are not in feudal japan, i'd rather live 100 years and die shitting my pants around my loving family then die at 30 with honor in some random battle for god knows what "important" thing...
also how is killing yourself honorable? i mean its the fastest way of escaping your problems, no matter how much pain someone inflicts on himself

@levilisko if youve ever known any fighters who lost a fight you could see the shame they suffered ive fought and won and lost sometimes and ive known the shame when battles are life and death you put your life on the line as long as people exist there will always be wars id rather it be warriors with honor than fat old politicians sitting in an armchair pressing a nuke button that idea is very scary when samurai commit seppuku its because honor is everything to them and the code they live their

@levilisko lives by when they are shamed in battle and have no ways of redeeming their honour they cant live with the shame most people today would never understand theyre happy with complacency and green paper

@levilisko also we dont all have or want loving families the worlds already overpopulated anyways and were running out of resources if anything we need more wars and disease to avoid mass starvation the point is that a warriors pride and dignity is the only way they know or want to live ive already said but most people would never understand martial arts and bushido arent for everybody only a few out there are of the right cut

@levilisko
the thing is we are biologically not build to live this long
we artificially almost trippled our lifetime
when you are that old you wont be able to even eat,wash yourself,or take a shit without help
your loving ones will not be happy to see you in this condition and you wont be able to do anything other then lie in a bed and watch tv
i wouldt want to die in a battle for any authorities either,but neither would i want to live so long that living itself becomes painful

@ThePoorShogun people have lived to 60 since hunting and gathering days. The only reason that average lifespans were so short were because they had to factor in the deaths related to childbirth. (of the infant and the mother) There are people that are 70+ years old, but still in great mental and physical health. Good habits will lead to good health later on in life.

Ususally, samurai who disobeyed their master, or went against their clan lost their honour, and to regain their honour, they performed Seppuku, inwhich they stab themselves in the stomach, one of the most painful places, being decapitated obviously helped you die quicker and got rid of the pain for you, the man in this video obviously was disliked by his clan and they wanted him to go through pain for his clan, so they didnt decapitate him immediatley.

The history of shinsengumi shows exactly what is wrong with seppeku. Not to mention that more modern units like the Kiheitai were superior exactly because they were more modern.

the idea of honorable death is not immediately obvious for men of today. e.g., suppose you, samurai refuse seppuku. what shall become of your vassals, clan, son and heir then? they all would be punished or killed by your enemies. seppuku retrieves your honor and protects your family by taking all responsibility. suicides just give up their social duty, but samurai who did this performed his duty.

@DarkprinX2500 im a caucasian born american and totally disagree. samurai first started as mercenaries but changed overtime. only the weak minded cant understand this. most modern people are weak also. they cant even kill a rabbit without feeling sad or not doing it at all. humans are predators time to get over it. also people who insult seppuku are cowards and cant actually do this themselves,your comments show you are a weak human being wich should have been cut from your mothers womb at birth

@ApprenticeOfAnubis you expect me to accept this whole idea of this invisible honor.. and killing yourself to redeem it.. it's suicide in my book... anyone who would push someone to kill themselves because they believe they "dishonored" themselves or their family , or their master or whatever.. is even worse.. their murderers in my opinion.... and should be forced to kill themselves too.. i don''t care about this honor nonsense..
DarkprinX2500 5 months ago
@DarkprinX2500
You're not supposed to accept or even understand this kind of 'invisible honor', it's not around anymore! At least not in western countries. Back in the old days in east Asia status and honor meant EVERYTHING. Of course it's not going to make sense by today's standards, what the hell do you expect?

@ApprenticeOfAnubis im sorry , but this is barbaric.. the samurai were more like gangsters than anything else.. making this guy disembowel himself and twist the blade too.. and then on top of that .. making him seffer a little before actually decapitating him.. i don't care about their reasons or justifications.. that's cruel .. i think that it's pathetic that you defend it.. .im glad the Japanese have moved past this.. you should be too.. life is a gift..

Wasn't it also considered honourable to twist the blade in the wound?
pomssi1 6 months ago
Seppuku is in some ways honorable and other ways Dishonourable.
Samurai commited Seppuku if one: they disobayed/ shamed their lord/master. this was because they were being dishonourable to their master.
two: to avoid being captured and tortured, and being tortured usually goes hand in hand with something called interrogation. in other words they die with their information so others cannot take it from them.
Savvy?
sunnykwon0112 6 months ago
@sunnykwon0112 Actually it is honorable both times because it is easily one of the most painful ways to QUICKLY die by a short sword. Unless... you know, you can actually gather the balls to cut into your stomach, bring the blade around for a quick "twistaroo" and be done with it.
MTGNoobma 6 months ago
@sunnykwon0112 actually is becuse for a samurai accepting defeat and capture by itself was a dishonour it meant they had failed their master in battle and for so they considered seppuku to recover the honor, but what u say about torture and letting out information allso makes allot of sence

There is also seppuku for females. Instead of big cuts in the abdomen, the female kneels down and stabs herself in the throat, but her knees are tied together to stop her from thrashing around ( because it is thought of as dishonorable. There is no need for de- capitation because death is quick.
BIBbib123456 7 months ago
Did you know that hara- Kari and seppuku are two different things? Hara- Kari is two long left to right cuts, and seppuku is one left to right cut and then up. The de- capitation is just to put the shamed person out of their misery.

Well, if todays industry and bank leader would commit Seppuku it would show that they feel some resposibilty for their actions and forthermore give the impression that it should be that way BUT all that happens if some bank dude fucks up 10 Billion Dollar and therewith destroys countless families is that he gets his fee and moves to another employer. Awsome times. :)

Arguing that it's just "what they used to do" and that we can't judge it with our western perception of the world is ludicrous. People all over the world used to do barbaric shit and so did Japan. Suppuku isn't something we should, even in retrospective, accept.
TheSpaghettus 7 months ago
@TheSpaghettus It isn't something you "accept" in retrospect. You're using presentism to apply modern ethics and morals to history. This is not something you should do. Look up the fallacy of nunc pro tunc.
dcook32p 7 months ago
@dcook32p Why not? I am somewhat familiar with ancient Japanese customs but that doesn't mean I agree with them. My point is that people in this comment feed argue that we, as modern westerners, can't "understand" the reasoning behind an action like that and therefore criticize it, because of it. Burning "witches" was stupid, killing non-believers was stupid, Seppuku was stupid. Instead of defending it we should just be happy that humanity learned and moved on from that.
TheSpaghettus 7 months ago 16
@TheSpaghettus Burning witches and killing non-believers were stupid because they were based on irrational beliefs about the physical world.
Suicide isn't necessarily based on superstition. I don't admire the strict heirarchy of Japanese culture or some other aspects of their social structure. I can see how in certain contexts the concept of painful suicide as a demonstration of regret or a means of demonstrating responsibility could embody admirable traits.
antonc81 6 months ago
Why is suicide a "stupid" idea and why are you happy that "humanity moved on from that"? I think that suicide is honourable in some circumstances and everything but stupid. Humanity is more stupid nowadays than ever before. Especially our Western society which is nothing more than a pile of shit.

@TheSpaghettus highly disagree. it should be used today I think I am born californian from the USA. italian / german ancestry. People who cannot understand this or people who are weak cannot grasp it its that simple like you said above. its easy to get cut down by an apponent in battle but to cut your own belly yourself and pull the blade in different motions takes courage beyond alot of people today. you may think its dumb , but the modern world is becoming weak, few men actually exist anymore
