Even if one's head were to be suddenly cut off, he should be able to do one more action with certainty.

With martial valour if one becomes like a revengeful ghost and shows great determination ,though his head is cut off, he should not die.(Yamamoto Tsenetomo)

                                              The flower that would surrender its fragrance
                                               before my brushwood door
                                               Does so regardless.

                                               How rueful, this world.
