Quotes 

  • Nobukado Takeda : The shadow of a man can never stand up and walk on its own.

  • [the double's aides are worried that others will find out he is an impostor] 

    Masakage Yamagata : Little Takemaru was a problem, but the horse is worse. It can tell. Only the late lord could ride it.

    Nobufusa Baba : If the double falls off, everyone will suspect.

    Nobukado Takeda : Lord Shingen has been ill. He must refrain from riding.

    Masakage Yamagata : Good idea.

    Masatane Hara : There are many other problems. We must be careful to keep the late lord's intentions.

    Katsusuke Atobe : Tonight he will have to meet the late lord's mistresses. How will he be with them?

    Masakage Yamagata : Our master has been ill. He must refrain from riding.

  • Nobukado Takeda : I know it is difficult. I was for a long time the lord's double. It was torture. It is not easy to suppress yourself to become another. Often I wanted to be myself and free. But now I think this was selfish of me. The shadow of a man can never desert that man. I was my brother's shadow. Now that I have lost him, it is as though I am nothing.
