The seppuku ritual in the film is correct for a battlefield. A person committing seppuku on a battlefield would in fact have his head fully decapitated; later, more ceremonial rituals involved leaving the head still partially attached. However, since General Hasegawa was committing suicide on a battlefield, his second (Katsumoto) would sever the head completely.
