And the Bishops attack! Time for some ass kicking, loads of violence, and a decision - a very difficult decision for one of our characters. And death. There will also be death.

From the Hagakuri:

"When one has made a decision to kill a person, even if it will be difficult to succeed by advancing straight ahead, it will not do to think about going at it in a long roundabout way. One's heart may slacken, he may miss his chance, and by and large there will be no success. The Way of the Samurai is one of immediacy, and it is best to dash in headlong.
