1:27:05
But now we have Motome Chijiiwa,
a samurai of true valor,
1:27:11
who carried out his resolve
to die honorably.
1:27:14
And we have
the members of the Iyi Clan,
1:27:18
who responded appropriately
to facilitate his wishes.
1:27:22
In contrast to many disgraceful ronin,
1:27:27
and the spineless timidity
of other daimyo households,
1:27:31
both parties in this instance
1:27:32
acted in an exemplary manner
that will open eyes and clear the air.
1:27:38
It is truly an occasion
for mutual congratulations.
1:27:43
We bid you -
- Wait.
1:27:47
To avoid any misunderstanding,
we must show the blades.
1:27:50
Oh, yes.
1:27:52
For the record, we wish you to examine
the swords Chijiiwa was carrying.
1:28:01
You will note
1:28:03
that both blades are of bamboo.
1:28:06
Bamboo?
1:28:25
As you can see,
both are made of bamboo.
1:28:28
No one must accuse us later
of having switched blades.
1:28:33
So take a good look.
1:28:39
Is it clear?
1:28:46
In that case,
1:28:48
Motome must have borrowed
a blade from your household?
1:28:54
No, he did not.
1:28:57
He died magnificently
using his own blade.
