  Context:

  Tsujigiri (辻斬り or 辻斬, literally “crossroads killing") is a Japanese term for a practice when a samurai, after receiving a new katana or developing a new fighting style or weapon, tests its effectiveness by attacking a human opponent, usually a random defenseless passer-by, in many cases during night time. The practitioners themselves are also referred to as tsujigiri.

  The act of tsujigiri against defenceless civilians was widely and socially condemned as immoral, cowardly, and associated with rogue samurais and bandits, and was not considered common or respectable samurai practice. It was made a capital offence by law in 1602 by the Edo government.

    Previous laws regarding murder didn’t cover it?

      samurai sometimes owned land and were part of the aristocracy, at the very least being retainers of lords and thus being a more privileged class and caste.

      Before that was the warring period. So effectively no.

    辻 literally looks like a cross with roads.

  Something about the expression and composition on that little Pepe comic reminds me of old Mad magazines.
