This kind of reads to me as if you are starting with the GURPS rules, looking for the most beneficial possible interpretation, and then coming up with a narrative based on it. I tend to prefer to look for a narrative that makes sense and then try to figure out what application of GURPS rules is compatible with that narrative. I'm not sure there's a plausible narrative for the scenario about the samurai.
