We vowed to go on a quest to find the best way to maintain the integrity of The Challenge and preserve the reputation that Bushido earned, which put us on the Travel Channel’s Man Vs. Food television show.

We are pleased to announce that we have found a worthy replacement to The Spicy Tuna Hand Roll Challenge. We call it…
The Bushido Seppuku Challenge!

Seppuku is within the Bushido code of honor. Understanding the meaning of the word, Seppuku, it suits The Challenge very much as it pertains to suicide by disembowelment, which is exactly how Challengers feel after taking The Challenge!

We felt this to be the appropriate name change, to give honor to our existing Warriors and Legends. Plus, it does not limit us to just one type of ingredient because the new Challenge’s name doesn’t mention it. So in case there’s another ingredient shortage, we got that covered.

The End of the Warrior Path. Rules will remain the same except that the Warrior category will be ending by April 1st, 2012. After that day, there will be only one category: The Legends.

This means that if you were trying for Warrior status, you have until April 1st, 2012 to complete The Challenge. Each Challenger thereafter will have to finish all 10 rolls in one sitting and you will be called, a Legend of The Bushido Seppuku Challenge!!!

We already hear those stomachs of steel banging loudly in preparation for battle in the Bushido Seppuku Challenge!

We await your most honored feat!

Starts March 5, 2012. Official Rules.

Here are the goods: fresh salmon, avocado, spicy mayo and cream cheese, deep fried with panko and topped with eel sauce. Click here for a closer look at the Magneto Roll.

One thing we know for sure… Magneto was right. The Magneto Roll is so goooood!

Can’t wait for the new Spiderman movie coming out this summer! Here’s the new official trailer.

Here’s a little history, care of Wikipedia.

Titled Washington’s Birthday, a federal holiday honoring George Washington was originally implemented by an Act of Congress in 1879 for government offices in the District of Columbia (20 Stat. 277) and expanded in 1885 to include all federal offices (23 Stat. 516). As the first federal holiday to honor an American citizen, the holiday was celebrated on Washington’s actual birthday, February 22.^[1] On January 1, 1971, the federal holiday was shifted to the third Monday in February by the Uniform Monday Holiday Act.^[2] This date places it between February 15 and 21, which makes the name “Washington’s Birthday” in some sense a misnomer, since it never lands on Washington’s actual birthday, February 22.

We love rainbows.

Due to a nationwide shortage of tuna, Bushido must forgo offering our Spicy Tuna Hand Roll Challenge to would-be Warriors and Legends in an abrupt manner that will unfortunately continue for an indefinite period of time starting Monday, January 30th, 2012.

But fear not, those of you who wish to achieve greatness through self sacrifice, “The Challenge” will return! As the old saying goes, “There are other fish in the sea,” and we are on a quest to find that special addition which will fuse taste and heat in the way we have since we began nearly 5 years ago.

During the month of February, we will be researching the best way to proceed in maintaining the integrity of The Challenge, which earned us a reputation that put us on the Travel Channel’s Man Vs. Food television show.

Therefore, we make the Bushido vow to provide the best quality to our brave participants, whose stomachs of steel have propelled The Challenge’s popularity.

In this, you deserve only the best!

Be prepared… something spicy this way comes!!! Beware the Ides of March? Why March 5th? It just seems like a good day to announce the new look of the BEASTLY new way Bushido’s fans will get to know… and FEAR us!!!!

Sorry about the last minute glitch… we just found out about this development on Friday!

Domo arigato gozaimashita!
