Tomonojo, Son
- Tomonojo, Son: Whether you live or die, winning a war is a joy for the nation. We must be joyful often. Those killed in the war died so we could have joy.
- Tomosuke Takagi: Are you daydreaming? The house will burn down while you're daydreaming.
- Tomonojo, Son: The Choshu militia will win in the end, Dad.
- Tomosuke Takagi: Fool, is this the time to say our enemy will win?
- Tomonojo, Son: On May 10th, His Majesty the Emperor issued an imperial edict to return Liaodong Peninsula. More than any of us citizens, His Majesty carried a bigger burden and had to make a decision. We citizens are so impertinent. How can we complain? We were so ignorant. How dare we get angry. I'm so ashamed. I should know my place. But someday, we must avenge this indignation. One day we must strike a blow to Russia. We must bear it until then.
- Tomonojo, Son: In 1882, His Majesty issued the Imperial Rescript to Soldiers and Sailors. Loyalty. Manners. Valor. Honor. Frugality. We must live by His five edifying teachings. The best way to do so is to become a soldier.
