"Slash. Once committed to fight, Slash. Everything else is secondary. Slash. That is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. There is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides this one. Slash."
"This sword, Hakurouken, shows the truth... Truth is not visible to the eye, nor audible to the ears. Truth-slashing is something which you know, when it was taught by the master. Therefore, everything doesn't begin unless you slash it. The sword is sure to lead to the truth."
