Mibu : We come to life, we die... It's a perpetual renewal. How boring
Jiro Kokubun : Did you come up with that? Or did you read it in a book
Mibu : No, I just came up with it.
Jiro Kokubun : Don't think about the future, you are still young.
Mibu : But I have hope
Jiro Kokubun : Me too, but I dislike triviality.
Mibu : Triviality? Is thinking about the future trivial?
Jiro Kokubun : Yes.
Mibu : So what is your goal in life then?
Jiro Kokubun : Satisfaction of the present. The sword, and nothing else. I only think about victory at the national championship. Everything else is futile. Do you understand?
Mibu : Yes, i'm trying. I won't think about the future anymore.
Mibu : Captain... I want to become strong like you.
Jiro Kokubun : You need to practice a lot for that. It's the only way.
