As various Allied and Soviet commanders of World War III can attest, this tactic is surprisingly successful. During such a charge we can see the fruits of the rigorous training Imperial Warriors have undergone. These soldiers are so skillful with their katanas, they can cut down enemy infantry in one stroke. Warriors can also charge into garrisoned buildings and clear them of enemy soldiers. This maneuver, however, is useless against tanks or structures. Unlike Peacekeeper's shield mode, there are time limit on Banzai charge, this is somewhat related to their physical power and the Beam katana's heating limitation.

- A Banzai Charge was a suicidal last-ditch attack that was mounted by Japanese infantry during WWII. Banzai Charge was actually not the real name of the attack, but rather a name given by Allied forces because during the charge, Japanese forces yelled "Tenno Heika Banzai!" (long live the emperor, ten thousand ages!).

Among the rules samurai needed to follow, there existed an that was later misused by Japanese military governments. With the revolutionary change in the Meiji Restoration and frequent wars against China and Russia, the militarist government of Japan adopted the concepts of Bushido to condition the country's population to be ideologically obedient to the emperor. Impressed with how samurai were trained to commit suicide when a great humiliation was about to befall them, the government educated troops that it was a greater humiliation to surrender to the enemy than to die. The suicide of , the leader of old samurai during the Meiji Restoration, also inspired the nation to idealize and romanticize death in battle and to consider suicide an honorable final action.
- A Banzai Charge was a suicidal last-ditch attack that was mounted by Japanese infantry during WWII. Banzai Charge was actually not the real name of the attack, but rather a name given by Allied forces because during the charge, Japanese forces yelled "Tenno Heika Banzai!" (long live the emperor, ten thousand ages!). The charge was a last-ditch attack because it almost always was performed once the Japanese forces had lost or were losing a battle. The Banzai Charge was based on the principles of honor and loyalty such as dying honorably rather than surrendering. Despite some banzai charges being successful, most were repelled by relatively small groups of allied soldiers compared to the usual number of Japanese soldiers. The greatest effect of the Banzai charge was not casualties, but the decrease in morale in most allied troops. Many soldiers feared "the dreaded banzai attack" and this itself sometimes affected performance in the field. Japanese soldiers however did sometimes surrender, but rarely in large numbers. They were also trained to commit suicide if the attack did not breach enemy lines and this included using grenades to kill oneself and any allied soldiers who were not careful. The weapons used by Japanese soldiers during an attack varied from machine guns, rifles, bayonets, swords, spears, knives, grenades, etc.
