Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal (1999)

A sword is a weapon. Kenjutsu is the art of killing. Whatever pretty words you use, this is its true nature.

“Ken wa kyouki, kenjutsu wa satsujinjutsu” “Donna kireigoto ya odaimoku wo kuchi ni shitemo sore ga shinjitsu” (「剣は凶器、剣術は殺人術」「どんな綺麗事やお題目を口にしてもそれが真実」)

Remember this. No matter how strong you are, you’re only human. The buddha has no need of violence.

Oboete oke, donna ni tsuyokunaoru to, omae wa ikkai no ningen. Hotoke ya shura ni naru hitsuyou wa nain da. (覚えておけ　どんなに強くなろうと、お前は一介の人間。仏や修羅になる必要はないんだ。)

You can train a dog with food, you can buy a person with money, but there isn’t a man alive able influence the wolves of Mibu! Some things will never change. A wolf will always be a wolf, the Shinsen Gumi will always be the Shinsen Gumi, and a manslayer will always be a manslayer!
