Samurai are among the most impressive people who have ever lift. This is a wonderful look into their unique and strong mindset.
I remember reading somewhere that samurais used to rub poop into their open wounds

that's retarded, I've read books where cavemen smear poop on their lances when they go to war so the other cavemen get infected and die.

The books was written during the Tokugawa period where samurai were useless. This was an office working, no combative samurai inventing a code which didn't exist when samurai were actual warriors, in an attempt to justify their lofty place in a society were they serve no purpose. It's every bit as false as the emperor worship invented during the Meiji period.
