Old Priest Nikkan
- 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.
