Bushido is found in death. When faced with the choice between life and death, one must first choose death. With resolve, one simply pushes forward. Things that rise and fall must begin; all that exists must end. Though the laws of the real world cannot be escaped, my soul remains in the intermediate realm, becoming a guardian deity that nourishes the roots of life. By accepting death, I gained an unwavering, unshakeable heart. You dared to accept death in order to save us. God's death is out of mercy; human death is out of courage. What you wanted to protect even in death—all living things. What I wanted to protect even in death—my home, my ancestors, and you. You completely cleansed and purified the illnesses of all sentient beings. Bushido Bushido is a madness for death Noumaku shicchiri yajikyanan sarabatatagyatanan an biraji biraji makashakyarabajiri satasata sarateisaratei taraitarai bidamani sanbanjani taramachishittagiriya taran sowaka By having the resolve to die, I, a coward, became fearless If I'm going to die anyway, what is there to fear? I have no father of the flesh, only my spiritual father, Yamamoto Tsunetomo His teachings were a bolt from the blue, completely overturned Bushido is a madness for death My strict father, like a god, made four vows, namely: To never fall behind in Bushido My lord To be of service, to be filial to one's parents To awaken great compassion and act for the benefit of others Bushido is a death-fueled frenzy My lord is the current Emperor My god is Gokō Daimyōjin My only parent is my loving mother Among my Kōno clan, there is Kōno Michiari, who stood against the Mongol invasions There is Ippen Shōnin, who saved the people, and Akiyama Saneyuki, who defeated Russia My ancestors diligently protected your land And I am the greatest theologian in Japan Bushido is a death-fueled frenzy You are the phoenix, we are the phoenix of death God's death arises from mercy, and human death inspires courage You even use evil for good, transforming the death brought by Hajun into courage You are the one who attained great enlightenment from the terror of Hajun To bestow upon them a fearless heart This was made possible by the wisdom of your will, God of Wisdom Bushido is a death-fueled frenzy A samurai who is desperately fighting is difficult to kill, even if dozens gang up on him, whether alone or against him. He vowed to become the guardian deity of peace and well-being for all living things, including animals, free from all diseases, and then he died suddenly. The gods' sorrow is profound. The samurai of the crows, the five crow warriors, fight to the end with the gods' Bushido, overcoming both their enemies and themselves. Bushido is a death-fueled frenzy A coward, hearing the teachings from God and his father, awakens and finds an unshakeable heart. You died for me; I will live desperately for you. Bushido is a death-fueled frenzy
