GURPS Ogre points out in a couple of spots that Nihon Ogres are quite capable of self-sacrifice due to the Bushido code that they emulated via programming before the Descartes Revolution. Afterwards, the self-aware Nihon Ogres embraced Bushido because it gave them "purpose" and answered (at least good enough) many of the questions concerning self-preservation vs. self-sacrifice.

I can just see a Steel Warrior rolling into a hopeless battle whilst reciting: "Death is lighter than a flower, but duty is heavier than a mountain."
