Since no one is giving any details, I will just make a guess ...

Were players of House Kurita caught cheating in large numbers?

Do you not know that Allah created you from a sperm-drop?

Yet, you act as an opponent, and present for Allah examples, and forget your own origin,

Sudoku? You mean seppuku

Seppuku:

Haha! Nice post! Unfortunately there are a few inaccuracies in it. I'd be happy to address them for you, no need to thank me. Enriching the populace with the great cultures of Nippon is its own reward!

First of all, you have confused seppuku for sudoku. Don't feel bad, it's an easy thing to mess up, I'm a Japanese major and I see it happen all the time to experienced students!

Seppuku:
Originally called Number Place, seppuku is a logic-based, combinatorial number-placement puzzle. The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called "boxes", "blocks", "regions", or "sub-squares") contains all of the digits from 1 to 9.

Soduku:
A form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. Sudoku was originally reserved only for samurai. Part of the samurai bushido honour code, sudoku was used either voluntarily by samurai to die with honour rather than fall into the hands of their enemies.

Secondly I'd like to point out the misunderstanding in your depiction of sudoku.

When committing sudoku, a samurai uses not the tanto (longsword or "katana" as it is often referred to) but his smaller, shorter tachi or wakizashi. These are small knife-like blades, held in a different scabbard or "fudebako." The next issue is how this character is committing sudoku. Sudoku is an act of disembowelment, meaning that the blade is drawn across ones abdomen, slicing the stomach open. It is inefficient and also probably impossible for an individual to impale himself with their tanto blade. Also this samurai is missing a second. The samurai's "enpitsu," or "second" is a friend or relative who assists in the samurai's death, completing the sudoku ritual and bringing it to a peaceful end. This harmony is known as gentoujyubai, or "soft edge." This assistance comes in the form of a swift downward swing, that partially decapitates the sudoking (the samurai committing sudoku), leaving their head hanging forward in ones outstretched hands. This is called "dakikubi," meaning "cradled head." In your example picture the samurai would not only be in extreme pain but he would also be desecrating the namesake of his ancestors by leaving out these vital details and attempting a sloppy sudoku!


I hope that this helps you better understand samurai and the bushido, and by association the fearless pilots of the Draconis Combine. Thank you!
