When being digested, I came upon a great idea. Instead of waiting out our last moments looking at Onos guts, we can spend it in true Samurai fashion and write our final haiku! It doesn't have to a precise haiku format (as we don't have the time) but should be vaguely haikuish and related to the game.
For example:
Petal floats in wind, shotgun goes click, screen goes red
Birds fly over lake, knife all I have, all I see is red again
Mother holds her child, voice tells me to phase, waiting out final minutes
Hope it inspires you to do the same! And post any good ones you come up while waiting for death! :p

Consider it already done.
-
'True Samurai Style' would be getting on your knees (if possible), taking out your ritual knife, then stabbing yourself in the chest.
I don't recall calling digestion an 'honorable death'
-
Yeah, but hey /kill haiku doesn't seem as useful. :p Anyways, it counts falling in battle to someone of equal or higher rank (onos) so it's honorable.

You mean honorable harikari with your tanto for disobeying the samurai code?
I fail to see the similarity to slowly being eaten away by a foul-smelling digestive fluid inside an 8-foot tall rhino-like monstrosity

"He ended his life like a true samurai with the greatest honor"
or
"He ended his life in the stomach of an 8-foot monster"
-
Being killed by Godzilla is honourable death. How being eaten by Onos is different?
No, fight the Onos with righteousness: If win, you win like true Samurai. If lose, you die like true Samurai. Only if run away you dishonoured and must seppukku to restore righteousness!

"There he was. Your great-great-great grandfather standing in front of the onos. He drew his knife and he slashed and parried until he was covered in onos blood. Too bad his comm was a noob and didn't get him any weapon upgrades. The onos chuckled as he oppened his mouth up wide and ate him. Never saw him again."
"There he was. Your great-great-great grandfather standing in front of an onos. He drew his knife and slashed and parried until he was covered in onos blood. The onos swung his deadly horns in anger, and charged at him, impaling him right in the stomach. The onos redeemed after back-up arrived. The man, through immense pain, go to his knees and committed hara kiri."

Hmm this begs to differ with that knifing onos thing (http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/cd2021/ns_tanith0001.JPG)

Weapon upgrades do not affect the knife.
-
hmm well if you must know how to knife an onos since damage upgrades don't help just empty your lmg and your pistol into it while the turret farm hits it then draw your knife and chase the ono down
-
That was no haiku Lie-To!

Weapon upgrades do not affect the knife.
i know, but geez, use your imagination a bit, damnit.
You people are all about stats!
let go of your tangible math and let your imagination roam free!
