So far all we have seen are suicides. I want at least one person to have a hara-hiri or else they should have just called them suicides...anyone agree or know of a character that does?

Not yet. Kenshi seems like a logical choice.

If Dariou can't do it, then no one can.

I'm guessing no one will. Baraka for a while seemed like a good candiate until he decided to just lop off his head.

A suicide is a suicide, no matter what language its in. I would like to see someone do it the honorable way, but when you think about it everybody so far has done it either with THEIR own weapon or with in their ability. I doubt anyone has a knife small enough to do it, then again maybe Kira can?!?

anyone with a small knife or somehing would make sense but that would just be boring, unless it went with the person like what's his name with the flags

Seppuku is the same thing as Hara Kiri, in Chinese.

Um, in Hara Kiri they are supposed to stick the knife in their stomach, and spin it around so that all their intestines and guts fall out. That is the correct procedure and its has more gore than any of the ones we have seen so far. If anything, it crosses a line they do not want to pass.

-Hara Kiri doesnt just mean suicide, its this very way of Honorable suicide that I have described and someone mentioned

-yes that one guy is right. Seppuku is Chinese for Hara kiri, and its the name of an awesome movie!

You don't SPIN the knife, you insert it in the left side and draw it across to the right. The intestines should then flow out freely. Generally you want a buddy standing behind you, ready to slice off your head in case you hesitate.

lol.
Seppuku = ritual suicide (formal word)
Harakiri = ritual suicide (everyday speech)
Jisatsu = suicide

Sepuku/harakiri would also require an assistant ,usually a friend actually, who would chop the head of with a sword after "enough" pain had been endured during cutting their own cloth/bandage wrapped stomach.They would not be left to die from their own stomach cutting.
Females would wrap cloth around their throats and cut with a knife.

All these words are japanese NOT chinese.
