Ten years ago, my son was blinded by someone who wouldn't hesitate to kill. Battousai, the manslayer blinded my son. He showed him an act of mercy, which disgusted me. Him of all people. Him showing mercy? That is laughable. But he did. My son needed that eye. He needed that one eye. Now... his life will be a shame. All because of you Battousai.

He's a monster and you showed him mercy. Did Genghis Kahn show mercy to those who he  conquered? Did the three unifiers of Japan show mercy? No... no... no... they didn't! No one shows mercy! Mercy is supposed to be ruthless. Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves!

I showed him my mercy by killing all of the others he worked with. I killed entire armies as an act of mercy. And yet... he managed to slip through my fingers. I've hated him ever since. My hate has only grown stronger with rage. I will always hate him, and I will always chase him. I have felt his presence near the water before, but it always disappears before I find him. Japan needs the ocean. It needs me to survive. The islands are all in my embrace. I can rock them and destroy them anytime I want. But right now, I just want to find Battousai the manslayer
