"There is a war coming, do wish to take part in it?"

"If you mean that rebellion Saigo's planning, I have no wish to do so."

"...the Revolution I seek will not be brought about by blood."



"Devils know their own kind."

"So I've heard, but who are you to say that you are of that kind?"



"Hitokiri Kensai? I thought that was just a legend that exaggerated the tale of Battousai."

"I thought so at first, that I did."

"So Hitokiri Kensai was real? He really did kill over a thousand men?"

"The Hitokiri Kensai I knew was not one who would seem like they would even kill half as many. And Hitokiri Kensai was not a man, but a girl, a girl by the name of Himura Mina..."



"My ancestors believed in magnificent beings called 'angels,' winged humans who lived in a paradise called 'Heaven.' I never believed in such tales until I met you."

"...but I have no wings."

"No, no, of course you don't, because I believe now that there was a time when angels lost their wings..."



"Who are you?"

"You of all people should know, dear cousin. I am the next successor of the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu!"

"Why are you calling me cousin, who are you?! And what makes you think you're the next one to succeed the role of Hiko Seijuro?!"



"Do you think everyone has a soul mate?"

"I believe so."

"Do you think that if one was to be reborn, their soul mate would be too?"

"I do not know..."



"Is this all you have to offer? Come on, show me your technique, show me the power of the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu!"

"Yukishiro Enishi, I will defeat you, and I will do so without using the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu!"

"Then you will die!"



"Your skill with the Akai Chi Naginata Ryu is very impressive."

"Ah ha ha ha ha! I've only gotten started, Shinimori!"



"I told you that you can never get rid of me."

"...Kensai?"



"My sister was killed about ten years ago, it was January 4, Western year 1867, they found her body in the red light district."

'That girl was...'



"Don't make this any harder, just get out of my way!"

"No, I can't let you. I can't let you go through what I went through fifteen years ago!"

"I'm aware of what lies ahead of me, now get of the way!"

"No!"



"Do you remember me now?"

"No, it can't be, you're..."



"Aku Zoku Zan."



"Darkness is where I roam, the light is a place I can have no home."



"I never wanted to hurt people, I only wanted to see her again."

"I'll prove to you I'm the best in the East as I am in the West!"



"I could care less for the fate of the Meiji, but I could care more for it's people."
