I take anything involving bushido with a grain of salt. Like, a BIG grain of salt. GURPS Ogre was written before it was commonly known that bushido was pretty much BS (just like European chivalry), both in its medieval and mid-20th Century forms. Sure, an Ogre might be lured in with its veneration of warfare and warriors, but some are going to be just as revolted by its mindless devotion to superiors and its casual acceptance of atrocities.

So I just finished writing a scenario where once of its variants involves a rogue Oni cybertank... ;-)
