Quotes

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada: The true warrior's spirit will not suffer to be hidden. Will you not meld your power into ours? The reward ... is eternal life.
Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi: Now what would I do with a thing like that?
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada: Who is it you defend? The Shogun? Kishu?
Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi: I take no sides. But I'll kill every demon I find.
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada: You won't surrender, then?
Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi: Never.
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada: Then take heed; there are more than two who have been reborn from hell - and there are Yagyu among them, too. Soon, you will see - and when you die, I will be there ... waiting for you.
