In Midway's last Mortal Kombat creation that was any good - Deception - they introduced a new way for your opponent to die. Fatalities were there, as always, and they had added in insta-kill deathtraps in Deadly Alliance. Midway decided it might be fun for the defeated opponent to contribute to their demise by adding "Hara kiri" (腹切り) moves. Not to be taken literally as depictions of stomach-slashing ritual suicide as dictated by bushido honour code, it was basically an opportunity for your character to do a fatality on themselves before the enemy got a chance to do anything to them.
Some of them a pretty clean and fit well (ie. Scorpion breaking his own neck, ninja style). Some wouldn't even kill you and would only cause you to suffer more than you really would like to (ie. Tanya ripping out bones in her own shins and jamming them into her eyes). And then, there's this one, which is just fucking hilarious.
