How do I psyche myself up for when I stab myself to death...

i would say slash your neck instead, you'll pass out pretty quick if you cut your jugulars and die of blood loss shortly after

>implaying this is a real sword

What the fuck did they sell you? A sword sharpened at the back side? The wave pattern comes from the processing of the sharp side.

stabbing yourself is unlikely to kill you. it would just hurt really bad and you would probably passout from shock

I feel like I saw this thread yesterday, but I'm not sure.
I don't think it's likely there's two people on Cred Forums that want to commit sepukku.

>I always put the knife or sword against my stomach then immediately pull it away.
Sounds like you've done this before?
I here those samurai suicides aren't like they are in Soul Caliber. They make a perpendicular incision somewhere on their stomach at a point where an important organ is. I read the reason had something to do with missing the spot and failing to penetrate skin (weakness to follow through). And samurais killed themselves because they had information an enemy wanted, and the samurai would not be taken prisoner or tortured into betraying his people.

I recommend you choose life. You will never have to worry about killing yourself for any reason but to die a true hero in your own eyes. Be your own man and control your own life.

mmmmmmmm check'emmmmmmm

Jus think of me enjoying your moms dirty-ass pussy juice

Pretend you are fisting yourself, I bet u manage that alright

That means put the sword away and meditate on these actions you've chosen to take and not follow through with, and for all the wrong reasons.

dont be a fukin pussy and do it, then upload pics

Hone your skills, warrior.
Any other day I would tell you to end it, but the world needs more warriors.

You basically just have to fucking throw caution to the wind and just do it. No way to psyche yourself up, I'm afraid. If you stall, your survival instinct will kick in.

Get super drunk first, the alcohol will dull the pain and make you bleed out faster.
See you in hell, OP.

Gentlemen, samurai thread?

user, heres a thought. instead of killing yourself with that katana, why don't you get an oni mask and assassinate people/groups of people?

It also inspires some of history's greatest writers, apparently. Have you ever lived? It's hell enough.

...

Stabing yourself? Come on man, if you're gonna an hero, go big. Jump off a tall and important landmark/building, Shoot yourself in a super-church, hijack your local news channel and off yourself, MAKE IT PUBLIC!

fellow modern samurai?
the life of a modern samurai is a meaningful yet, hollow existence. is it not?

The memory of your feats will be all that remains, no matter where your body rests.

What these two said. A katana is not for committing sepukku, and it is written that it is one of the most painful ways to commit suicide.

There is also a certain method to doing it properly. It's a stab inward with the point, then parallel to the floor over, then a cut up following the curvature of the rib cage. At which point, someone you trust nearly cuts your head entirely off using a cut from hasso-no-kamae (to do it properly, the person must be skilled enough to not through the very front of the throat, but still sever the muscle, spine and the trachea.)

Semantics aside, either get a crap load of pain killers so you don't feel the pain, or shut the fuck up because you know you're not going to do it. Once you feel the first pierce, you'll change your mind, panic, and end up in the hospital alive with wounds that will effect the rest of your life.

satan speaks trully

are you a samurai?

I'm more of a priest whose curiosity serves him best. But if I had to learn or I had to kill, I have no doubt I can do both. At the most, I only share certain common beliefs or morals I've observed in samurais.
And yeah, meaningful, but hollow I can't say.

Psyche yourself by thinking you will go to valhalla and be locked in eternal combat with other beings. Before you go though do kill a few feminists

You gotta be a beast when you handle your sword(s)

No, ten years of studying Kukishindin-ryu and Katori Shinto-ryu Kenjutsu. Unfortunately where I live there are no Koryu schools of any type, and it's too expensive to travel to keep training.

killing is no easy task monk. to kill is to examine ones soul through a mirror of judgement while simultaneously doing the same for your victim.

Plan to bleed out you fagget.

Stabbing your gut is just one part , there's also supposed to be someone to cut your head off

Does everyone in this thread where a fedora?

be a man and just do it

how about to choose less painful death, edgelord?

>Does everyone in this thread where a fedora
>where a fedora
>where?

What is it with this faggot generation and little jap swords, you aren't a squinty eyed little anime faggots

I want to say that this method was more common during conflicts such as war if not a ritual death due to some complicated honor/disgrace thing. It's not technically suicide if someone helps you along is it? It's more assisted suicide. And that's probably not for any common reason for sepukku I've heard or thought of. Am I missing something?

Neckbeard confirmed

Yeup, I said that here: That last reported case of ritual seppuku was in 1970 by Yukio Mishima. The person who stepped up to deliver the neck cut, wasn't skilled enough and took several hacks without succeeding, it was then another officer stepped up and did it properly.

>am I missing something?

A life fagget, stop watching the kiddy cancer that is anime and go outside

You're right, it would be ridiculous to assume that edgy neckbeards almost always pair with a novelty rat tail sword topped off with a fedora, that would be absurd, right?

just man up to that blade and think of the slob that has to clean up your dumb ass.

clean your house. put your porn in one place and prepare to clean your HD so your fam wont have to sort through your dirty secret spank folders on the HD

get a tarp Dexter' style and place it on the wall and floor in a corner that you have cleaned well. place the base of the sword in the corner on top of the plastic sheet, make sure you are in your finest samurai garb of pure white, and had a bath.

make sure that your neighbors wont call the cops or medics- you sure as fuck dont wanna survive this pain-

have yourself about 2000 mg of asprin to lightly thin your blood- but not enough to pass out- you need to have the will to get the job done.

get your juvenile ass drunk bum wine style with about 2-4 large bottles of mint green mouthwash total wino style (or just get hammed up on gin & juice if you have booze)

now for the moment of truth. write your samurai haiku. place blade again in corner of the room on the floor and the sticky end on your heart. lunge forward.

make sure you don't kick and scream too much or you'll wake up in the ER with about $25,000 of debt from surgeries. also, make sure you take a good shit first- or someone will see you shit yourself like a bitch.

It is a method of honor.

To ask someone to be your kaishakunin was a great honor back in the days of seppuku.

After you slit your gut for your honor the kaishakunin would behead you to make your suffering short because you have already done the honorable act and there is no reason to prolong your suffering as it was believed you had suffered enough for whatever failure caused you to have to commit seppuku.

I believe you. Though I do not meditate on these things as others do.
But to me life is as natural as death, and they both deserve to be treated equally in practice and preservation.

Personally, if i had the means and everything, I'd jump out of a airplane and impale myself on the seattle space needle.

I bet this would happen shortly after battles; if a samurai no longer had any use on the field or had no further sons and use. What could possibly bring such dishonor, enough to make man take his own life?

That covers a large scope of reasoning there, and not always done during times of war. However you did get it right about honor and disgrace. The act could accompany a loss on a battlefield, or simply by command of the emperor or daimyo for not showing courage or some other slight to the Bushido code.

If you want to gain a better understanding of the mindset of samurai, study up on Zen Buddhism. A system of thought can be powerful enough to make on believe seppuku is the only way to redeem ones personal, familial, or tribal honor.

Stick point up asshole, cannonball off rooftop, profit

here, also what this guy said . The person committing seppuku acknowledged your skill with the sword and sense of honor to perform the act properly.

Back before the term weaboo was common place and the only anime you could get was imported vhs tapes from Japan through your local dealer in chinatown, my friends and I were studying Kenjutsu. I primarily studied hanbo-jutsu, but also the sword. One of my friends hit upon a terrible period of dishonor, and said he was seriously considering seppuku, and asked if I would be his kaishakunin if it came down to it. I'm so very glad I didn't have to live up to that request.

名誉はそれを行います user-son

This is the thread where boys who grew up without fathers go to talk about antiquated ideas, like honor, chivalry, and the code of the warrior. Most of the weeaboos in this thread are to chicken shit to actually approach a real human, and so they sit in their delusional desert waistland of cowboys with swords and steam powered fighting giant robots and saving imaginary maidens from imaginary problems. But if you listen to your mom, and just be a good guy, a girl will come along and put up with your eccentric nutty taste and humor. Ok, no that's not true, that actually takes effort, which I'm not convinced anyone in this thread is actually capable of, or else they wouldn't be in Cred Forums at this hour.

Buddhism is a fascinating subject. I studied Buddhism for, personally, a long time. There's still more to learn.
I would also recommend Feng Shui, you know? I'm sure that fits somewhere in there with samurai culture.

nope. I shave every day, you're wrong as usual. Wow, you blew it.

Is everyone here actually encouraging this guy to not only die a weeaboo's death, but also having serious discussions about historic japanese suicide rituals? wow, the tumblr weebs really did take over...

the ways of old don't exist outside of japan, you must develop your own style through your knowledge of swordsmanship and perfect it, so you can teach it to others, so they can better the style and pas it along through generations, we must not let the samurai lifestyle die out.

I mean, yeah., that's a very generalized perspective of the average Cred Forums tard oldfag, that's been around for a while. Only most oldfags have companions by now. And no one has ever truly cared.

try stabbing yourself in the dick first, for motivation?

You do you take it upon yourself to be concerned with other peoples' issues. It's a common phenomenon to socially anxious and depressed, so who looks like the real idiot here? You're fighting a losing battle. Socially inept people will always exist, but you don't have to concern yourself with them.

Lets see them shiny chin rolls neckbeard, pic or it didn't happen faggot.

Dojos and nearby villages that needed protection. Emperors paid them well I bet.

Get drunk, stand on a chair. Place the blade, point end against your chest where the heart is located. Proceed to lean forward and fall on it.

Villages where farmers and craftsmen and women traded with outside towns and other villages for other goods and supplies. I bet southeast Asian society before machinery and technology was something to behold.

user lets invent a time machine

See you there.

Paramedic here

You are going to be in excruciating pain, and it may be a slow death too.

If you, for some stupid reason, decide to jam a blade into yourself, rotate the blade if you really want to die. It will create a larger, ragged channel for you to bleed more effectively, and increase your odds of hitting arteries and increase overall organ/tissue damage.

But seriously, don't do it. Get help. Or at least pick a better method. And for fucks sake if I have to respond to a katana suicide attempt tonight in my coverage area I will cockslap you for being an absolute retard.

Maybe you're right for some. The ideals you mentioned are antiquated although there are some redeeming qualities in each that could serve well in society today. However you chose to generalize every one in this thread, which makes your argument false by reason of logical fallacy.
There is a real history behind the concept of seppuku. Knowledge of this history is no different than studying any civilizations history and the factors that make up it's norms and values. Furthermore the term weaboo only exists because the fascination of Nihonjin culture went mainstream, but all but the most serious Japanophile became infatuated with it's modern day aspect without gaining an understanding of the historical context from which it was derived. Lastly, I doubt I'm the only forty-something year old who is married with kids, so it would seem you yourself hold on to antiquated ideas of who peruses this forum, and their reasons why.

While I commend you on your desire to make sure a beautiful if not somewhat twisted part of history isn't allowed to fade into obscurity, study of the sword is not to be taken lightly. They are very dangerous weapons and what differentiates a true practitioner from the oft-referred weaboo is the study of actual techniques from Sensei given menkyo kaiden. This is the heart of studying a Koryu martial art. Kenjutsu literally has hundreds of years of proven techniques. To think that I would have any ability to improve upon those lessons that were gleaned from actual combat, would be the surest sign that I am not a true practitioner.

OH MY GOD, WWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEBSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep drinking tequila until you stop being a wuss.

Yo momma

LOL I'd call you a moron and explain in explicit details why you are one, but the reason would be lost on the rather large gaps between your single digit synapses.

Some of us simply studied Japanese history and Koryu martial arts long before it became popular. I've since outgrown my rose colored glasses love of Japan. When you've lived there, you see it's not what most Americans think.

No regrets.

All paces rarely turn out like we expect though you know?

stay mad normalfag

go back to wagecucking at mcdonalds while I master my ultimate technique: KAITEN KENBU NO RAIJIN!!!!!

Of course, and I knew this before I moved there having already been there several times. Living there on a permanent basis was quite a different experience. Although I'd be lying if I said it was all bad. The whole subservient working Japanese woman and the stereotypes about their fascination with white men proved to be true many times over. There was endless amounts of tail to be had. Although the whining/crying thing like they're being raped gets fucking annoying after a while.

thats called torture, fucking retard

Lol that sounds ridiculous. I've only seen a few honest documentary style videos depicting normal Japanese everyday life. I think I'm just saying that the sucky part of Japan is the people since it seems like you get the same shit everywhere. But it is what you make it, right?

Bear in mind, this was back in the 90's. Their societal structure has come a long ways since then, although even now I'd bet there is still a lot of throwback to the outdated values still prevalent in certain areas.

Back then you could laid by a Korean chick as easily as a native. In fact on nights I went out, the Korean girls often made it a point to openly vie for American men as though it was a contest or some show of superiority. I didn't really give a flying crap, it meant I was getting laid.
The interesting thing about some Japanese women, is if they were speaking iego, their voice would drop two octaves from the cute anime girl voice to that of an actual woman. They often made the best noises in the sack.

BTW OP, I hope we've properly convinced you how utterly stupid your idea of committing suicide with a sword is.

Pic related but not the entire read, just the message. You being a white man is your vice in another country like black guys and japs in America. You know, girls wanting to try new things. In the end it's just about sex rather than variety. Which leads me to another point.
I want to believe women are more faithful in other countries. Like, does that honor and trust stick with women as it did with men, specifically samurais? Surely those values from the past still exist today.

Stabbing yourself is too painful and the risk of survival is too high.

Shooting is the way to go. You want a small and efficient caliber, .22 is the perfect round. Get yourself a rifle and some ammo. You'll only need one round though. Go out to the woods, don't tell anyone where and leave your phone at home.

Once you get there, slash your tires and throw your keys deep into the brush.

When you're ready, put the barrel directly against your belly button and pull the trigger. Quick, painless, and dignified.

Just finished watching those two seasons a couple months back. I fucking LOVED that show, ever since I heard that intro on Adult Swim years before I was allowed to watch it.

ikr, that intro song is one of the better ones, and I love how they made each character have a unique personality but also always showed their human side
