A lot of media portrayals of traditional Japanese culture (movies, shows, games, etc.) use a particular sound clip that sounds like a Japanese man saying "Yooooooooooooooooo". Is there are historical or cultural significance to that particular phrase?

"Hamilton" has a song called "The Ten Duel Commanents" which details the 10 steps required to setting up a duel. How does the dramatization compare to real rules of dueling in the late 1700s in America?
