Senggoku Jidai was a turbulent period when the low overthrew the high. Bushido only became institutionalized by the tokugawa as a way of keeping society stable... I.e static.
Look at toyotomi hideyoshi. The man was born a peasant and became the 2nd unifier of Japan. And one of his first acts is to make sure no other peasant does the same by codifying the segregation of social classes.
And chivalry was only practiced by those who can afford it during the Hundred years war and I don't recall it practiced during the Crusades.
