3. Slashed across the chest diagonally by sword.
4. Beheaded by sword.
5. Stabbed through eye by sword.
6. Cleaved in two by sword, at the waist.
7. Cleaved in two by sword, head to toe.
8. Torn apart by chain wielded by very evil dude in mohawk and tattoos.
9. Torn apart by very huge double-bladed sword where one blade is like a hook that rips open your jugular, that is also attached to chain.
10. Shot by your own arrows.
11. Shuriken. (Throwing star.)
12. Flying spear.
13. Flying spear attached to chain.
14. Ten knives thrown at once.

21. Getting smashed in the face with an axe the size of an anvil.
22. Quicksand.
23. Being stabbed in the torso with seven swords at once and then pulling them out one sickening suction sound at a time because you’re immortal, for now.
24. Bleeding to death because one or more of your limbs has been cut off.
25. All of your limbs falling off at once.
26. Chopping off your own hand because it’s been impaled by a flying metal weapon attached to a rope and you’re being dragged up a tree by it.
27. Getting impaled by the sharpened, exposed bones in the arm-stump of an enemy whose hand you cut off.
28. Boring ol’ seppuku.

I'm a sucker for samurai flicks, especially over the top bloody ones.

I picked up the Criterion Collection's blu ray of the entire "Lone wolf and cub" series today at Barnes and Noble, I'd highly suggest checking it out if you've never seen it!
