OSAKA CASTLE - STAGE DIALOG MOTOCHIKA: Mitsunari Ishida, I wish to speak with you. MITSUNARI: What could you possibly want to talk about, Motochika? You were Lord Hideyoshi's foe, which means we too are in opposition. Or has the sea air addled your senses? MITSUNARI: Perhaps you've sided with Ieyasu? Perhaps you've come to take my head as a souvenir and tie it to the prow of your ship...! MOTOCHIKA: I crave your ear, not the entirety of your head.
OSAKA CASTLE - PRE-BATTLE CUTSCENE MITSUNARI: If you wish to kill Ieyasu, we share this goal in common. MOTOCHIKA: I wish only vengeance. For slaughtered friends. Ieyasu has strayed from the path of the righteous, and with this betrayal his life is forfeit. He is no longer the man I knew! I cannot suffer him to live! MITSUNARI: Your bleeding heart concerns me not in the least, Motochika. That said, to destroy Ieyasu I will ally with you. But if you think for even a moment that I'll allow you the honor of taking his life, you are sorely mistaken! [Goes for his sword.] MOTOCHIKA: I knew you would say such a thing. Allow me to show you...how keenly I wish to split the villain asunder! [Draws his anchor.]
OSAKA CASTLE - MOTOCHIKA VS. MITSUNARI MITSUNARI: You fight from your heart...! But only the weak feel the sting of emotion's whip. I am no such slave, for my heart is cold as stone. MOTOCHIKA: Then on what fuel does your hatred burn and grow strong? There can be no hatred without emotion! Rejoice that you are not the statue you style yourself to be! Feel how the fury sets your heart pounding! My murdered men died in the grip of deceit! MITSUNARI: Still your tongue, pirate! Your philosophy stinks of sentiment! Lose a few sailors and you gnash your teeth? What pain could compare to that of losing Lord Hideyoshi!? You know nothing of my grief! MOTOCHIKA: So at last I see the author of all your intentions... MOTOCHIKA: But still, no man can proclaim his misery sharper than another's.
OSAKA CASTLE - POST-BATTLE CUTSCENE MOTOCHIKA: You have suffered much. I know of such pain. My sympathies. Your anguish is a barb in your soul-- MITSUNARI: SILENCE! Do not presume to know my pain! MOTOCHIKA: Two sides of the same coin, you and I. I hereby join the Western Army. MITSUNARI: [Head jerks in surprise. He slowly lowers his sword, and stabs it into the ground.] Join me or don't, I care not. But know, once you swear fealty to me, ANY BETRAYAL IS DEATH! MOTOCHIKA: Well, you've my word. And I will never dishonor myself. MITSUNARI: Swear upon your soul. MOTOCHIKA: [He offers his hand.] Upon my soul. ...Hn. MITSUNARI: What is it. MOTOCHIKA: A long time ago, I fought with a man and had the bout end much in the manner of this one. Hmph, the world has changed much since then. MITSUNARI: Spare me your puerile ramblings. I don't give a damn. [Walks away.]
