Shingen Takeda : Why?
Masakage Yamagata : And you still behave like a five-year-old child. People gather, scatter, they go left and right following their interests. That is not surprising. But then I find you like this. With such a narrow mind, you must not dream of rulership. Go back to your own domain. You are a mountain monkey. You should be gathering nuts in the mountains of Kai.

Katsuyori Takeda : [Addressing his army] Forward!... Forward!
