"Yamaarashi, whom they saved, was now bossing them around." "Huffing and puffing over nothing." "Did you forget the spirit of sacrifice that urged you to join the army?" "No sir!" "The next morning."

"It's right on target." "Are we dead?" "How do you feel?" "If this is what death is like, then I'm not afraid of dying anymore." "Right!"

"Yaji, Yaji, what are those whistling around you?" "The end."
