Shungen
—What are you all so afraid of?
Kagetoki Kajiwara
What...?
Shungen
Sir Kagetoki, you can go the regular way. I'll take the lead on the reverse drop.
Shungen
If this ambush is successful, it should buy us some time to wait for your arrival.
Kagetoki Kajiwara
W-what don't you get about this?! There's no way you'll make it down that cliff, it's absurd!
Shungen
No, I'll get it done.
Shungen
We can follow him down! There's no reason to think a deer can do it and a horse can't!
Genji Soldier
Y-yeah but...
Shungen
Then we might as well resign ourselves to the fact that our true strength cannot reach the Heike!
Genji Soldier
...!
Shungen
Consider all we've already fought through! Consider how far we've already come! Considering that... This cliff ain't so tall!
Shungen
You men know as well as I do we can't miss this opportunity...to round up all those Heike bastards!
Shungen
Now is the time for the bravery! Now is the time for strength! Then was the time of the Heike, now is the time of the Genji!
Shungen pulled the reins of his horse, which lifted its two front hooves and let out a rallying shriek that pierced the air.
Shungen
—Shana, no matter what, I will be there.
Shungen
My heart is always with you... Wait for me.
Shungen
Brave Genji warriors! Descend with caution, and your horses will not be harmed!
Follow me!
