===Death and afterward===
In the aftermath of the Misery debacle, Tetsuhara saw no other way than to commit ''[[seppuku]]'' on May 27th, 3028, for having failed to carry out his orders to destroy the Dragoons. Jaime Wolf desperately tried to dissuade his friend, explaining how he had been betrayed by his own superiors. Tetsuhara remained adamant, however, and asked Wolf to fulfill a certain role in the ceremony. Only after Wolf had accepted this request he learned that his role would be to kill Tetsuhara before he could show a sign of pain. Although at first shocked, Wolf did as he was asked and shot Tetsuhara with a laser pistol at the conclusion of the ceremony as a last gesture of mutual respect and friendship, in the presence of all Dragoon regiment and battalion commanders who had assembled to show their respect.<ref>''Wolves on the Border'' ch. 56</ref>

Michi Noketsuna sought revenge for his master and friend. The legacy of the [[Bounty Hunter]] was passed to him during this quest, and as the Bounty Hunter (together with [[Dechan Fraser]]) he finally presented the head of [[Grieg Samsonov]] to Minobu Tetsuhara's widow on January 10th, 3030. However, Tomiko Tetsuhara had retreated into a monastic refuge on Awano seeking peace, and revenge did nothing to ease her pain. She refused to accept the gift and told the men to present it to Minobu's father instead, who she said would appreciate the gesture. (He did not.)

Jaime Wolf later went so far as to declare war between Wolf's Dragoons and House Kurita over the events. On the eve of the wedding of [[Hanse Davion]] and [[Melissa Steiner]] on [[Terra]] on August 27th, 3028, he publicly scorned Takashi Kurita in fluent Japanese for betraying and ruining a worthy and loyal underling and threw the ritual swords of the late Minobu Tetsuhara at his feet. By design or chance, this channeled the efforts of the irate House Kurita in a predictable fashion in the [[Fourth Succession War]] that Hanse Davion had scheduled to begin on that very day.

However, the resentment of Jaime Wolf against the Kuritan state, and especially Takashi Kurita, endured for ten years more. Even during the [[Clan Invasion]], when [[Hanse Davion]], who had them under contract, ordered Wolf's Dragoons help defend the Draconis Combine of [[Luthien]] against the [[Clans]], Jaime kept his vendetta alive.<ref>''Wolves on the Border'' Epilogue</ref>

Only after Takashi committed ''seppuku'' in [[3054]], after a hard discussion with the new Coordinator, [[Theodore Kurita]], reluctantly, Jaime agreed to end his personal war.
