Shuzen Kamio
- Kamo Serizawa: Lord Kamio, doesn't the shogunate's weakness concern you?
- Shuzen Kamio: It won't fall. If it falls, it falls. Let it. Things will happen, regardless of what we do. Enjoy yourselves until then. I'll serve some sake. Relax a little. The Shincho Group takes things too seriously.
- Shuzen Kamio: I won't kill you, Omatsu. It's a game... the bamboo game.
- Omatsu: Bamboo?
- Shuzen Kamio: We'll pretend you're the bamboo. Understand? Of course you don't. Naturally you wouldn't understand. Bamboo, with so many layers of covering, can't see... like the masses. Loyalists, shogunate supporters... each time they flash their steel, a layer comes off. It's a nuisance. But Omatsu... the more stupid the game, the more fun it becomes. Here I come, bamboo! Omatsu. I won't be able to play these games much longer. The samurai class, like a heavy log, will soon sink from its own weight. The bamboo will grow and become strong. Now's the time. First my sword will cut your sash. And now your band! It's a difficult thing to cut. Here I go!
