I’m referring to voluntary seppuku not obligatory seppuku. Cases of dishonored Samurai willingly committing ritual suicide to restore their honor. Why would a Daimyo allow this to happen to one of their own Samurai? Wouldn’t the loss of such a highly trained and valuable military officer be a considerable loss to their own power?
While there is always more to say about this topic (or any topic, to be candid),please take a look at here and the associated links u/ParallelPain links to to and the nature of "voluntary seppuku" versus "obligatory" seppuku while you wait for an answer
