4. When Nathan is fighting the Samurai, he uses a flagpole to protect himself. What was on the flag?

Answer: Tiger

Nathan was fighting the Samurai on his own because the amateur Japanese army that he was leading fled. Nathan was knocked off his horse, and no one was there to help him fight, so he picked up a flagpole with a picture of a tiger on it and used that to protect himself.

At the beginning, the Samurai leader, Katsumoto had a vision that in his upcoming battle a tiger would fight them, he spared Nathan because he could come in handy in a battle.

5. What is the first thing that Katsumoto asks Nathan?

Answer: What is your name?

When Katsumoto asks Nathan this question, he does not reply. One of the Samurai walks over and tells Nathan, in Japanese, to reply. Nathan doesn't reply because he is weak, and also he didn't want to be ordered to say something. The warrior then spits at him and turns around, only to quickly get out his sword and swing at Nathan's neck, stopping just in time.

6. Taka says to Nabutada that Nathan smells of what?

Answer: Pigs

Nathan is invited to eat with Taka's family, he is invited because Katsumoto wants them to look after him. While Nathan starts to eat, Taka tells Nabutada that he smells like the pigs, and asks him whether he can at least make Nathan take a bath.

7. What does the word "Samurai" actually mean?

Answer: To serve

As the camera shows the village, Nathan narrates that he really likes the people and the culture. "I have never seen such discipline. I am surprised to learn that the word Samurai means 'to serve' and that Katsumoto believes his rebellion to be in the service of the Emperor."

8. Which group of people attack the Samurai village?

Answer: The Ninjas

There is a gold strap attached to each shoulder of Nathan's uniform. The mark on these straps is "7". I noticed these marks when Nathan was weeping at the feet of the Emperor.
