What did Japanese Samurai do to overcome their fear of death?

They killed themselves.

I'm not sure they had it. They lived as tools of their lord and died like tools for their lord.

Same as Christian knights. An irrational belief in "honor" and rewards in some putative "afterlife".

Yeah, pretty much. Sounds nice on a resume, though.

By the Way of the warrior is meant death. The Way of the warrior is death. This means choosing death whenever there is a choice between life and death. It means nothing more than this. It means to see things through, being resolved.

I wish i didnt lost the paper i had on knights and PTSD...

Seppuku always seemed retarded to me. Why not at least go for a suicide mission? It's just a waste of resources. Then again there is a bunch of retarded things the japs do.
