Bushido is translated to mean the way of warrior which has a final meaning of death. It focuses on fighting continuously until the end of life for one or both warriors. Bushido is known as a Japanese code of conduct for the Samurai people and it focuses on bravery and chivalry.

The Samurais has a moral code that focused on living a frugal life, loyalty to each other and their leaders. This also includes mastering martial arts, and to remain honorable to the death. They focused on the teachings of Confucianism and Buddhism which views wisdom and a sense of peace. Bushido was developed in Japan around the same times that the Samurai sword were crafted which was during 9th and 12th centuries however it may have expanded to possibly the 16th century.

It is known that if a Samurai warrior did not meet the set guidelines they would need to perform a ritual called Seppuku (suicide with a tanto which is a small japanese sword). Bushido crossed over to other socio-economic backgrounds which split the samurai code into different levels consisting of "high Samurais" who are allowed to ride horse, whereas the "low Samurais" are allowed to wear two swords but are not allowed to ride a horse. The Bushido also shares a philosophy covering interests of raising children, appearance and grooming, and the preparation for the end of life.

The Bushido code consists of seven virtues which are rectitude, courage, benevolence, respect, honesty, honor, and loyalty. It has been noted that it also includes wisdom, elderly caregiver, and respect for family.

Practicing Bushido helps to release to warrior from within and when the warrior dies it is important the warriors follows the customs in order to die a good death. A Samurai warrior should not die in vain so they need to ensure that they protect others around them, continue to survive and live for themselves.
