Enlightened One, we weep for Katsumoto, but...
Algren:
He hoped with his last breath that you would remember the ancestors who held this sword and what they died for.

Your Highness...

You were with him, at the end?

Hai.

Emperor. This man fought against you!

Your Highness, if you believe me to be your enemy, command me and I will gladly take my life.

Sir, if I may...

So sorry, but you may not.
