* One famous refusal was that of [[Yorinaga Kurita]]. Having failed to kill [[Morgan Kell]] in a duel, he asked then-Coordinator [[Takashi Kurita]] for permission to commit ''seppuku''. The request was refused and Yorinaga went into exile at a monastery. Every year following, he made the same request and Takashi continued to refuse until [[3025]] when he granted the request, provided that Yorinaga create the elite ''[[Genyosha]]''.<ref>''Warrior: En Garde'', ch. 16</ref>

* [[Minobu Tetsuhara]], ordered to destroy [[Wolf's Dragoons]] and thus caught between friendship and duty, felt he had failed his Coordinator when his forces were defeated by the Dragoons on [[Misery]] and he himself was captured following the destruction of his [[BattleMech]]. He decided that ''seppuku'' was the only way to atone for his failures. [[Jaime Wolf]] could not dissuade his friend and finally allowed the ceremony to take place, even serving as Minobu's ''kaishakunin'' (with a laser pistol) as a stand-in for Minobu's aide [[Michi Noketsuna]] who was prevented by injuries.<ref>''Wolves on the Border'', ch. 56</ref>

* [[Takashi Kurita]]  realized that Indrahar had been right. With no other means to avoid the duel with [[Jaime Wolf]] honorably, he committed ''seppuku'' with Theodore standing as his second. (Officially, however, Takashi Kurita was reported to have died in his sleep.) <ref name=WP>''Wolf Pack''</ref>
