We fight to preserve the ones who cannot fight. To live a life of peace and tranquility is a paradise these members can never know. They willingly give up zin to protect all they hold most dear. It is the idea that to take a life is unforgivable, but to let others harm the innocent is worse. They take up different fighting's styles (normally swords) to be the warriors the people need.
Probe one's bravery in honorable combat. Win. It must be witnessed by a member that vouches for you. Take up the Bushido.
Meetings happen two times a month or so. Its members are asked to attend when they can. It is said there can be a call to arms at any time by the Crimson Samurai, yet this has never happened.
Live by one of the oaths. To break an oath is to forfeit your life and honor.
The Crimson Samurai lead this group with at least one in each land. These are elders that lived a full live on the path and have proven his/her place.
Bushido is the oath of each member on this path.
Righteousness (義 gi). Justice is the most important virtue for the samurai. A true samurai does not attack the enemy without an important reason.
Loyalty (忠義 chūgi). Loyalty is the 2nd most important thing in life. The samurai should always be loyal to his master. The samurai should also believe his duty to protect his master is the meaning of life.
Honor (名誉 meiyo). A life without honor is not a life. If a samurai makes a mistake, he should honor his name by committing suicide. (Example: The story of 47 samurai (the Ako Incident).
Respect (礼 rei). A samurai should always respect his enemy. A samurai respects his opponent before and after the fight. Even if a samurai kills his opponent, he is very respectful to the corpse.
Honesty ( 誠 sei). A samurai never lies. “Deception” does not exists in the book of a samurai.
Courage (勇 yū). A samurai fights until the end. A samurai is never afraid of anything. He is not afraid of death. A samurai is always brave because he fights for something he believes in.
Consistency (誠 makoto ). A samurai never changes the path. He is like a dragonfly, he always moves forward, he never moves back.
