Lord Himuro Gemma Quotes in Ninja Scroll (1993)

Lord Himuro Gemma: I won't let you die before I torture you enough to pay me back. To pay me back for my destroyed dream!

Jubei: Your dream? Of becoming the only true Shogun of the Dark? That's a laugh. If you became a Shogun, there'd be nothing but devils in this world. If you so want the company of devils... you'd better hurry back to hell, Gemma!

[cuts off Gemma's arm]

Jubei: Gemma! Did you miss the flames of hell? Is that why you came here?

Lord Himuro Gemma: So it's you, Jubei. I should've finished you off myself when I had the opportunity.

Jubei: I thought rats usually leave a sinking ship.

Lord Himuro Gemma: Heh! I suppose you want to avenge that ninja girl, Kagero. She's nothing compared to what I'm going to lose with this ship.

Jubei: Prepare to lose your life as well!

Jubei: I'll kill you yet!

Lord Himuro Gemma: [reattaches his severed arm] No one can kill me. This - you, of all men - should know by now.

[picks Jubei up]

Lord Himuro Gemma: I have become immortal as a true demon.

Jubei: Is that so?

[repeatedly headbutts Gemma]

Jubei: I swear if you... come back to life again, then I'll... kill you again, no matter how many times!

[screams and delivers a final blow]

Shogunate Envoy: Gemma, this gold will soon help us make our dream come true.

Lord Himuro Gemma: What dream?

Shogunate Envoy: Our great dream. We'll topple the Tokugawa government, and restore the reign of the house of Toyotomi. You wouldn't understand how we ex-Toyotomi retainers have suffered. This time, the Tokugawa will suffer those agonies. With the gold we intend to buy the most advanced weapons from Spain and use them against him. That is the true dream of all who work for the Shogun of the Dark.

Lord Himuro Gemma: Nonsense.

Shogunate Envoy: Wha... what did you say?

Lord Himuro Gemma: I said it's nonsense.

Shogunate Envoy: Watch your tongue! You're a mere ninja!

Lord Himuro Gemma: My dream is different. The gold won't go to the Shogun of the Dark.

Shogunate Envoy: What?

Lord Himuro Gemma: The Devils of Kimon will take the gold.

Shogunate Envoy: Damn you! Yaah!

[runs to Gemma with his sword, but Gemma puts him in a stranglehold]

Lord Himuro Gemma: I'll use the gold to organise the most powerful army of ninja ever, and we will rule the country with terror and power from the shadows. Anyone who disobeys me - Tokugawa, or Toyotomi, even the Shogun of the Dark - shall die.

[breaks the Envoy's neck]

Lord Himuro Gemma: That means the *real* Shogun of the Dark... is me!

[chuckles as he throws the body into the sea]

Chamberlain: You, ninja girl! You've done well.

Kagero: You must hurry, or they'll get away! Are there any other members?

Chamberlain: Don't be worried, we've already surrounded this area.

Kagero: Then please, you must go quickly!

[They are surrounded by Yumimaru and other ninjas. Kagero prepares to defend the Chamberlain, but he suddenly stabs her from behind. She screams]

Kagero: Jubei!

Jubei: [watching from a rooftop] Kagero!

[Dakuan holds him back]

Dakuan: No, stop! Don't do it, it's a trap!

Chamberlain: You idiots! Sakaki Hyobu died two days ago!

[laughs as he morphs into Gemma]

Lord Himuro Gemma: I killed him myself.

Jubei: [screams] GEMMA!

Lord Himuro Gemma: [speaking via electrical wire] Yumimaru, report.

Yurimaru: Lord Gemma, all three have been killed.

Lord Himuro Gemma: Incompetent. All three are still alive!

Yurimaru: I will kill them myself.

Lord Himuro Gemma: You will stay where you are. Lure them there, then kill them. Understand?

Yurimaru: Yes.

[wire disconnects]

Lord Himuro Gemma: [chuckles as he feels his neck wound] I never expected to see you again. Not this soon... JUBEI!

Lord Himuro Gemma: [speaking via electrical wire] Yumimaru, report.

Yurimaru: Lord Gemma, all three have been killed.

Lord Himuro Gemma: Incompetent. All three are still alive!

Yurimaru: I will kill them myself.

Lord Himuro Gemma: You will stay where you are. Lure them there, then kill them. Understand?

Yurimaru: Yes.

[the wire disconnects. Gemma chuckles as he feels his neck wound]

Lord Himuro Gemma: I never expected to see you again. Not this soon... JUBEI!
