Samurai II: Duel at Ichijoji Temple (1955) Poster

Kokuten Kôdô: Old Priest Nikkan

Quotes 

  • Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo) : You mean my swordsmanship is poor?

    Old Priest Nikkan : Definitely. You're not even close to perfection.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo) : But, I defeated Baiken.

    Old Priest Nikkan : You may have defeated him with your sword, but you lost the spirit of the sword.

  • Old Priest Nikkan : You're terribly strong. But your mind is not at peace. That means you may win a duel, but you are not yet a true samurai. You'll always remain just a strong man.

  • Old Priest Nikkan : You are too strong. Understand, Musashi? Swordsmanship means right-mindedness. Remember, a man cannot remain physically strong forever. You're too strong. Decidedly too strong.
