Bushido is a triggered ability that increases the affected creature's power and toughness by a set amount when it blocks or becomes blocked.
Example
Amy attacks with a Devoted Retainer, which has bushido 1, and Neil blocks it with a Grizzly Bears. After Neil declares the block, bushido will trigger and give the Devoted Retainer +1/+1.
