Its a way to die with honor, instead of being killed. Used by samarai.

yeah.
i also think hara-kiri has a counter fatality to it with you input the same time has your opponent.
only to cause them to inflict lethal damage to themselves.
quick send e-mails to midway on this!

Actually hara-kiri refers to the abdominal cut suicide ceremony, while sepukku is to stab yourself in the torso with a katana.

Having Kenshi do that for his hara-kiri was probably a reference to that I'd imagine.

I can't imagine why people would want to kill themselves, especially in an MK game. It has no honor.

You mean "Seppuku".

Yes, both Harakiri and Sebbuku mean ritual suicide by disembowelment with a sword.

The Japanese language uses a lot of kanji (Chinese characters), and have several pronunciation, mainly the native Japanese Reading (Kun-yomi) and the Chinese Reading (On-yomi).

Hara(belly)-Kiri(cutting) is Japanese Reading, while

Sep(cutting)-puku(belly) is Chinese Reading.
