samurai's

Feudal Japan soldier's

Samurai's is the possessive form of samurai—a member of the warrior class in feudal Japan.

The word works for both singular and plural possession: a samurai's sword, the samurai's code of honor.

The apostrophe distinguishes possession from the unchanged plural samurai: Three samurai approached versus the samurai's loyalty was absolute.
