samurai weren't just respected they were also feared. they had the right to kill you for anything they considered an insult or lack of respect and no would question them about it (just a piece of info)

Personally, as a kid I bought this book called "Secrets of the Ninja" and it was so fascinating. I read about stealth, meditation and popular ninja moves...it could be pretty dangerous, I practiced a move that can help you get out of a headlock and I almost broke my friend's back!!!!
But I guess one of the qualities that fascinates me about Japanese culture is the importance of the Samaurai Honor. They were super respected, because of being an elite class, and were ment of integrity.
Reading Usagi brings those qualities. That's kinda why I read UY. It has ninjas, japanese terms and just an all out great storyline.
I pretty much read UY to help me on my passion for the Samauri.
Cheers!!
