When some of the villagers throw down their spears and leave the others, thinking of protecting their own homes only, Kambei orders them to return to their lines. When they don't obey, he pulls his sword and rushes at them, scaring them back to their lines. However, he doesn't kill anyone, puts his sword back in its sheath, and talks about how they must all stick together during wartime.While this is not a character error per se, it's still against the samurai code: because "once the sword is drawn, it must shed blood". This could be interpreted as Kambei's experienced and rational behavior instead of a strictly adhering to rules, as witnessed throughout the movie. Instead of killing someone just because the code says so, he uses it as an opportunity to tell the villagers about how to behave during war. (Kurosawa's other movies, such as Yojimbo, also feature samurai protagonists who do not follow the samurai code to the letter, and in Sanjuro, a samurai who acts directly against the code.)
