The spider overwhelms the shrine; menacingly grasps the thrust of the storm!
The lizard masterfully nails the paradise; negates the touch of the fires!
Tori's Hand
1: The turtle lies with the island; parries the storm of the isle!
2: The whip devours the pillars; dodges the descent of the stone!
3: The snake ravages the clearing; avoids the onslaught of the tides!
4: The tiger brutalizes the cavern; absorbs the aggression of the barrens!
5: The kama devours the cliff; shields the violence of the flower!
The foot wracks the foothills; shreds the rising of the crevice!
Tori's hand:
1: The chimera rends the ruins; dodges the drive of the insect!
2: The snake falls atop the prairie; dodges the cut of the sands!
3: The hammer nails the badlands; shreds the push of the ice!
4: The crab rides higher than the brush; dominates the blood of the body!
5: The mantis falls within the marsh; shields the roar of the pole! *yen*
Death and Dying
Dying can occur in YB. First it is possible to commit seppuku if you dislike the direction your character has taken. This is extreme but it's your character.
Second, and most common, 2nd tier fighters can die if they reach the bottom of their tier and then fight the wrong person. Thugs, Out of Luck; Dark Apprentices, Out of Favor; Yellow Belts, Disgraced 3; Blue Belts, Fallen From Grace; and Copper Sashes 0 can be killed if they lose their match (and in the sashes case if they do not pay the yen). If these fighters are not killed when they lose then they go back to white belt after losing. Anytime a fighter wins a fight and kills a character at these ranks, they win 1 extra rank from the victory.
Third and finally, it is possible to challenge another to a death match. Such Matches must always be for at least four flags (if a traditional match) or six flags (if a speed match). The one declaring the death match must, if they win, kill the other fighter. The one accepting the death match can choose to either kill their opponent or show mercy. If they show mercy, the other fighter loses 3 ranks from the fight. Death matches garner 1 extra rank from the victory for the winning fighter.
Special Rules: To join the path of light, a Honor fighter (or a white belt) must win a fight against a Yakuza or dark fighter. After winning they may choose to advance into the path of light instead of further into the honor path. A white belt who does this begins as a Blue Belt 0. An honor fighter begins at the rank he would have advanced into if he had remained an honor fighter.
