	Ah, I wasn't even sure it would work, it was-- in my memory, I was fighting a guy taller and stronger than I was, and he forced me into a deadlock like that ... I lost, haha. So I'm going to have to remember that move for next time! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... More than I would've, too. [Shakes his head] I still don't want to fight people, Soujirou. This sword ... I have a good idea by now why I know how to use it, but I don't think I could ever use it to harm or kill another person, even back then. I'll defend myself because I don't want to be a burden on my team ... but that's it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A sword is meant to kill people. [ then he laughs a little ] But there are some really amazing people out there. Himura-san's sword was a sword that protected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	assumedposition 2010-10-16 02:53 am UTC (link)
	... I want to be able to do that, too. Almost desperately so. ... But the way this place works ... where and how do you draw the line between protecting someone and hurting another in the process? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	n____n 2010-10-16 02:56 am UTC (link)
	I think that's how it is everywhere. Ah! . . . [ draws his sword and holds it out, and then flips it around. ] Himura-san had a sword like this, a sword that doesn't kill. It didn't mean that people didn't get hurt, though. But you can't protect people half-heartedly. It takes even more resolve, I think, than killing someone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Shakes his head emphatically] I could never kill someone. Never.

[... Looks at Soujirou's sword instead of keeping on that line of thought, and then really looks at it once he realises what Soujirou was describing] ... I ... wouldn't know how to go about making something like that in the style I'm used to, I don't think. ... My kind of blade is made to be sharp on both sides. But I guess ... that can be a project to keep me busy, huh.

	. . . [ sheaths the sword ] Maybe Simba-san would be strong enough to not have to limit himself that way. I wouldn't be. But my sword is still a sword that kills, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
