Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo)
- Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Otsu. I want to be with you, too. While traveling these months, I've missed you so much. I dreamt of you every night on the road. I'd like to settle down with you somewhere in the mountains. The old Takezo would do so.
- 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.
- Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): I became wiser. And more ambitious. I was torn between my love for you and my love for the sword. And far have I traveled. To speak the truth now, my heart has chosen the way of the sword.
- Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): A man must go his way and a woman hers.
- Otsu: But the way of women is love. There is no other way to live without love.
- Koetsu Honami: How did you like her dance? Pay her some compliments.
- Dayu Yoshino: I hope you liked it.
- Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): It was flawless. I find no weakness to attack.
- Dayu Yoshino: Always swordsmanship!
- Dayu Yoshino: You crave self-mastery, for you lack affection. Human affection. Are you offended?
- Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): No, you're a woman.
- Dayu Yoshino: It's because I'm a woman? Do you mean to slight women? Or is it because you pity women as weak beings? Musashi. Or do you reject my statement because I'm only a courtesan? I can read your mind very easily, as clear as the reflection in a mirror.
