You need me for something? Hah... Look at all these papers on the desk, each one filled with words. Just the sight of them makes me want to cut them up!

Hfph—haah... Leave me alone. I'm trying to feel my new technique. Aren't techniques meant to be conceived, you say? Hmph, not for me. I just need to quiet down and feel it with my heart. When the time comes, my technique will naturally unfold on my blade.

That ninja... She may evade your eyes, but she cannot fool my senses. I know not what she schemes, but I can promise you I shall not engage her here and now. However, if I find her trying to harm my master... You won't be able to stop my blade.

Who says my eye sight is poor? Heh! This medical report is utter nonsense. If you doubt me, send your strongest, swiftest warriors, and as many as you want. Have them attack me from any direction all at once. If they can make it anywhere close to my body, I'll accept defeat.

It hurts my head to hear righteous principles. Especially when those hypocrites go on and on like preaching scriptures. Hmph, the principles in their mouths are just fancy garbage. For benefit, they will stab even their family in the back. These shameless cowards, my katana will slice them apart!

I've seen winters like that many times. The snow would turn red the moment it hit the ground. My enemies were everywhere. Lying, sitting... I never saw their faces, nor did I care to. My face and chest felt cold, but my hands gripping my blade were warm. Tsk, why am I even telling you all this? Just forget what I said.

Um? How many times have I told you? Don't stand in front of me all of a sudden! What? You wanted me to see you better? You're a strange fellow. I don't need to look at you to know it's you. You think I would just let anybody come this close to me?

Dr.{@nickname}, you remind me of my master when you get serious. I suppose it's because… both you and her compel yourselves to go forward in chase of a grand, ambitious goal.

My master had me come to Rhodes Island for some peace and quiet, but there is no peace to be had as long as the flames of war rage in my homeland. Nonetheless, as a commander, you have my respect. {@nickname}, I am under your command. Together, we will take to the battlefield, and I shall slay everyone that stands in our way as your blade!

Hmm… The air here is nice and cool. Hey you, move over a bit. Let me lie down for a while too.

Akafuyu, samurai, the strongest you'll find. Worrying about my katana? Haha, unlucky for you, I carry it with me wherever I go. You better keep your distance if you are scared.

Oi oi, I'm already strong enough. Stop wasting my time!

I don't need anyone's approval. However, I appreciate your gesture, and will repay the favor with my katana.

Heh, if those guys were here, we'd be out drinking and celebrating. How about this, Dr.{@nickname}. YOU come with me! We'll drink till we drop tonight!

Let's get going already. My katana is starting to rust.

Now we're talking! All of you, with me!

Now! To battle!

No matter who, I shall slay them by my katana!

I'm here.

I've been waiting to slay.

Off to the front!

You will feel my blade!

Now… I strike!

Come one, slay one! Come a thousand, slay all!

Not only your head, I will cut your will to fight!

My katana knows its targets.

Where are the foes actually worth fighting?

Hardly a challenge. I barely broke a sweat.

Some enemies got through? Impossible. There's no way I didn't see them.

I won't run away. My blade has not failed me, I can still fight!

What a small room! Don't keep me waiting in here for too long! I might just draw my katana!

Hmph... You see, if you were my enemy, I would already have sliced you in half.

Come on, let's get ourselves all the ale and meat!

Arknights.

Happy New Year, and why so late to rise? I'm already back from my training. Let me tell you, think of a wish. On the first day of the new year, make 1,000 sword swings. Then that wish will come true. Do not ask whether it's true! It's real, as long as you believe it.

Yo, Doctor, how about some katana training together?

Oh? Today's your birthday, Dr.{@nickname}? Haha! Come, I'll take you for ale and meat! Honestly, why stay quiet about a day so important? Hm? You wonder what I would've gotten you if I knew? Well, need you ask? Better ale and even more meat!

Never have I asked you what we fight for, yes? Stop, no need for an answer. Words are the least reliable of all. I only care that you've considered the question, and considered it well. Lead us forth on a just path, Doctor, and I assure you my katana will be sharp enough to cut through all.
