You've been watching waaaaay too much cliched anime; it's beginning to cloud your perspective of real people.

One: yes, it's a samurai anime, but Mugen was a pirate; I'm sure he doesn't give two shits about honor cuz he's not really a samurai.

Two: Jin and Mugen weren't fighting her because of something as silly as honor or their pride; they were fighting for their lives. They knew she was in a league above their own, hence Jin cutting the bridge to save his own life, and Mugen admitting that he couldn't go toe-to-toe with her. She wasn't some sworn rival they had to defeat or a slayer of their entire families/loved ones or whatever. R emember, she's just  an assassin.

Three: competing/fighting with your full power isn't exclusive to Japanese culture.
