"What a curious lady, this one. Quite a nice aura she's got! Ah, but we're both similar, aren't we? I can see it in her eyes; she enjoys the thrill of battle as much as I do. Alas, she holds on to some uselees moral code. That's a real shame, isn't it friend? She's got all the strong enemies she could want around her, just waiting to be fought. If only she would realize so..."

"Well, isn't that a cute little one? She's even got an ancient sword! I suppose there's nothing better for a pure blade like the Masamune than a child. Perhaps one of these days, I should try to see it unleashed...now wouldn't that be quite a duel?"

"So, you wanna 'cut' to the source of evil in these lands? I can respect that, miss. I'm a bit insulted you haven't come to hunt me, though...I'm startin' to feel left out! Whose head do I gotta chop to get some attention from the overseers in this place?"

"What a disappointing woman...I was rather excited to fight something many centuries old, but she's nothing more than support! I've got no time for those people."

"Now there's one I'd like to fight! The woman's a weakling, but the power sealed inside her...! It gets me excited just to think about it!"

"You know, I think this woman healed me once. It was quite a lot of time ago, before I had such a sentence on my head. Nowadays, I reckon any monk worth his salt would be able to sense my deeds from a mile away. Of course, nowadays, I prefer to keep the wounds..."

"Just another grunt of the exorcist party. I've heard he's quite strong! Perhaps I should pay him a visit, one of these days, to see just what this strength can do."

"I've fought quite a few Beast Hunters from the home province, and they rarely disappoint. If I ever make a trip to the outer wilds, I'll be sure to seek her out. You'll find there are things far more fearsome than the beasts, friend..."

"I remember this one! I met him after I took down a Chimera that was traipsing around Limbo...I don't normally go for such beasts, but I thought it best to get some practice with Kaimetsu. I found him as I had just finished slaying it, waiting on the sides. I prepared to fight, of course; I was not quite wearing my Jingasa, and most warriors who went to Limbo knew of my sentence. Rather than fight me, however, the fellow said it would not be fair to attack me when I was already tired! Perhaps I should seek him out and ask him for a match."

"Strong lady, this one! But sadly far too slow to offer an interesting fight. Though, with how often she seems to 'escort' Hunters and Exorcists, I'm sure we'll clash eventually."

"What a curious philosophy she has. I've never been much for such thoughts...the pursuit of battle is more than enough! I suppose she would say it is an pursuit as worthy as any other. All in all, I can't say she is of the bad sort! Not with such sword skills, anyway."

"Christianity...I've heard of this sect, in my forays to the Mortal World. Fighting a man who wields such traditional armor is rather tempting, but I don't quite feel like wiping out an entire cult...for now."

"Who?"

"Ah, the Muramasa...what great blade! There is no swordsman, within this realm or another, that has not heard of it. Now, I must say I've no intention of forsaking my bond to Onimaru! But to fight a wielder of this blade, and quite a vile one a that...Yes, that would be very good."

"I know this one. Quite a recent sect-master, sprung up here in the depths of Limbo, in that castle. He's invited me to join his group, more than once, though I've quite the urge to attempt to destroy it instead. Well, I'll not stop him from bringing worthy foes to Limbo."

"Yet another sectmaster on the warpath. I'll not complain about it, but I find it ironic how often those who claim to fight for justice turn out in such ways...I can attest better than anyone that pretexts of morality are nothing compared to the sweet thrill of battle. To pretend you are better is simply an awful waste of time, wouldn't you say friend?"

"I've worked with him, sometimes., whanever I've been hired to cause disruption. His fists can pack quite a punch, so I cannot complain about his odd behavior much. His tactics are quite intriguing, however...he once asked me if I had no desire to use my 'secret sword'. I do not know how he came to learn of Gōrei, but it must not be much to ask that. I prefer to leave it as a surprise, whanever my foe is a summoner; they almost never expect to feel the pain their beast does, and it is quite a sight to see."

"Hmph. I've already met her, but it was not as Shikōbō. It was the Hat-Wearing Smuggler. I've lost quite a few clients to her schemes, even if quite a few return after whatever products of low quality she sourced break. I heard she's also some manner of 'showrunner' or 'commentator'...I wonder what would happen if i were to slice her open during one of her shows? Imagine the reaction of her fans! Hah! I'll be sure to put it in my list..."

"Oh. It. I know not who this creature is attempting to trick, but it's awfully poor at disguising a lady's form. I've seen it far more often than I would have liked to, around Limbo. If it's not being chased around by some Chimera, It's by watching me in one of my duels, skulking around. Does it seek to gather information before fightin' me, perhaps? I don't know what it is, but something's just off about this one."

"I don't think I met her - ah, wait, I do quite remember now. I had just finished slicing some overseer who caught a wind of my 'Karma' after I momentarily took off my Jingasa in a particularly hot day! This lady just stared at me, with a bizarre look...in all honesty, it was quite disconcerting. I'd be pleased not to meet her again."

"Now why would you ask me about this one, friend? Yokai I may be, but I've found the taste of battle to be a far greater delicacy than any Feeding Slave! If I were to use my draining abilities, it would be against an enemy hardly won. This one, pfeh...merely an aura bag. I've no need or taste for it."
