I watched a movie very early, and the fighting scenes were also bloody. But what impressed me the most was the prayers chanted by the samurai at the final battle of the film. I originally remembered the Chinese version. I found the English version on the Internet, which is even more touching:

look there do I see my mother and my sisters,

look there do I see the line of my people,
back to the beginning.
look they do call to me
They bid me take myplace among them
In the halls of valhalla
where the brave may live forever
