Banzai! (Land)
"Banzai!" is a battle cry used by no-dachi samurai that increases the speed and violence of their charge and melee attack, whilst active. Banzai also freezes the attacking unit's morale for the duration of the effect. Once banzai is activated, there is only a short time available to strike before the ability burns out. It is then unavailable for a fixed period, thereby limiting its exploitability. Literally meaning "ten thousand years", a more accurate translation is "long life" - a sincere and respectful wish that the Emperor remains healthy and lives for a long time.
