«Is me, somebody who nobody'd miss if they died, standing here like this all thanks to Utsuro's guidance, too? I don't think so. I... we aren't here because of anyone. We're standing here by our own wills. What's flowing through this nearly-rotted bodies in order to stamp out every last one of you ain't Utsuro's immortal blood. It's the steel teachings of Shouka Sonjuku left behind by our master and senior disciple to keep getting up no matter how many times we fall. We've clashed with and duked it out with all sorts of people and ended up pretty bent and twisted along the way, but that steel is unmistakably still here, never rusting, never bending. That blade is here in our souls.»

Together with everyone else.

I will never be ready enough.
