If you are a Gensei who likes to fight, I can not give you the sword... One fight causes another fight. That kind of Gensei worries people. -4 Kin That is why I tested you, Dark-sama...

Dark-sama... 6-1 Dark Kin... then... -2 Kin You must think it strange that someone like me, who makes swords to kill, would say something like this. However... -3 Kin If this sword is used only for abolishing evil... if this sword brings peace... if we can keep peace without killing... -4 [Thud] -5 [Low creak] and if this sword is used by someone devoted to ordinary people... Then I will be happy. Dark-sama... -6 Kin A sword that remains in the scabbard is a symbol of peace... 7-1 Kin [Shine] This sword... please accept it... -2 Dark [Shine] This is... my new sword!! Kin Yes... it is named Shinrouen. Sidebar Dark's sword... What kind of power does that sword have!?
