Chushingura

Loyalty is faithfulness to commitments to obligations, it is fealty, devotion, constancy, allegiance, fidelity, an unwavering sense of duty and devotion to a person or principle. 

Loyalty is the emotion and the feeling of devotion that one holds for one's country, creed, family and friends.  And by extension, one's obligation to support that group, cause or individual.

"Some people live all their lives without knowing which path is right. They're buffeted by this wind or that and never really know where they're going. That is largely the fate of the commoner - those who have no choice over their destiny. For those of us born as Samurai, life is something else. We know the path of duty and we follow it without question." - Oishi Kuranosuke
"I have lived my entire life for this moment. One's life weighs lightly against duty." - Oishi Chikara's
