Detailed explanation-1: -The tenets of the Bushido code are rectitude, courage, benevolence, respect, honesty, honor, loyalty, wisdom, and care for the elderly. Failure of a Samurai to live up to the tenets meant that they would lose their honor and had to commit a form of ritual suicide called seppuku.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bushido teaches that men should behave according to an absolute moral standard, one that transcends logic. What’s right is right, and what’s wrong is wrong.
Detailed explanation-3: -It called for warriors to fight to the death in battle to preserve the honor of their family or overlord, and in the face of imminent failure or disgrace, ritualistic suicide (seppuku) was required. Off the battlefield, Bushido required warriors to exhibit a strict sense of honor and self-control at all times.
