Well, I am no expert in samuraiology, but I can very well imagine something like “I am Bankotsu, wrath of the Eastern lands, destroyer of flesh and reason, fear me and my banyru for its blade is sharper than the devil’s sword, I have killed many great fiends for see I carry the head of Jakostu the gazing snake warrior, and I will soon be carrying your head home to my great master”
Basically casually dropping C’s name. Like, that’s what I’d do if I were B. (Except I wouldn’t die of course as I would be the strongest and greatest warrior to ever live and I will definitely destroy my opponent.)
Edit: for the scenario of A and B dying I’d assume the villagers or accompanying vassals would be able to tell the tale and who’s who. If everyone gets annihilated by an ancient nuke like attack then, well, bad luck I guess.
What happens if one samurai (A) defeats another samurai (B) who carries the head of a recently-defeated third samurai ©. Does B relay C’s story to A? What if A also gets killed? Do they write this down?
