Tazūna Yatō

"And now, a question for you. A fist that defeats and a fist that kills... Which one is more effective? The answer is... a kick that kills! Destructive power is stronger than brute strength by far. What? A trick question? Don't be so stiff. It's just a quiz. Didn't you notice? Subconsciously, you held back on that last attack. Trying to subdue your instincts like that, and your attack dies before it even reaches me. You don't want to hurt others? You don't want to kill them? It's quite the commendable way of thinking. In these peaceful times, perhaps. But on the battlefield, that way of thinking amounts to nothing. On the battlefield, those who hesitate are the first to die. You, who rejects your blood, and we, who take pride in it, were leagues apart from the start."

- Tazūna speaking to Minato Kuramoto.


 * "It's a shame to spend life being scared or angry. Just laugh." - Seireitou-shishō

Quotes

 * (Regarding Seireitou Kawahiru) "An older brother who acts by his interest, and a younger brother who acts by his bonds. No, rather... It is like an older brother who follows his blood, and a younger brother who fights against it. An understanding between them was impossible from the start."
