Inspector Yagyu Bizen-no-Kami: So you see, as three warriors have paid their lives to present this declaration I must now exercise my official right to inspect your shrine. Ogami, take me to the shrine.

[They go to the shrine]

Ogami Itto: To pay respect to, and to offer prayers for the souls of those I have been ordered to execute by the Shogunate I have built this shrine.

Inspector Yagyu Bizen-no-Kami: It is most respectful! I am moved. It does you great credit, Ogami.

Ogami Itto: Why it's...!

Inspector Yagyu Bizen-no-Kami: What do we have here? Of all things... a death memorial tablet bearing the emblem of the Shogunate! Ogami! What is the meaning of this? Why a Shogunate tablet?

Inspector Yagyu Bizen-no-Kami: Men, take Ogami Itto!

Ogami Itto: This is too odd! Inspector Bizen... What is the meaning of these uniformed men? Was it your intent to take me away from the beginning?

Inspector Yagyu Bizen-no-Kami: Naturally, in such an emergency as this!

Ogami Itto: If that were so, they would have come here openly. Besides, there shouldn't have been any reason to hide your uniforms.

[Grabs a guard]

Ogami Itto: Furthermore, how do you explain the armor? If you were in such a rush to come here, why did you take the time to don this?

Ogami Itto: You Yagyu's tactics are despicable!
