Quotes 

• Shichiroji : Kikuchiyo, what on earth are you doing?

  Kikuchiyo : I can't kill a lot with one sword!

• Kikuchiyo : What are you making?

  Heihachi Hayashida : A flag.

  Kikuchiyo : A flag?

  Heihachi Hayashida : Something to hold up, hoist high, you know? Something to stir our fighting spirit.

  [Heihachi presents his design; he has drawn six circles, one triangle, and at the bottom, the Japanese character "ta." Kikuchiyo points to the "ta"] 

  Kikuchiyo : What do those symbols mean?

  Heihachi Hayashida : That means "rice" but it can also mean "farmer".

  Kikuchiyo : What about those circles?

  Heihachi Hayashida : They're us.

  Kikuchiyo : What the hell? Why aren't I there? There's only six of them!

  Heihachi Hayashida : The triangle is you, Sir Kikuchiyo.

  Shichiroji : Good one!

  [the samurai burst out laughing] 

• Shichiroji : That bandit said their fort...

  Kyuzo : It's hardly a fort.

  Kikuchiyo : It's full of holes, like Yohei's underwear.

• Shichiroji : Manzo, don't be angry. When the dawn threatens our very lives, the weight of it makes us all a little reckless.
