The less they're regarded, the better. I'm the better fighter, the better captain, and the better man and don't you ever doubt it. How he managed to conquer Shikoku with a shamisen and excessive concern for Mitsuhide's delicate feelings, I'll never know. They'd both faint in a strong wind and Mitsuhide would probably cry at that "lord" of his scraping his poor skinny knees.

[Obviously, this has touched a nerve with Motochika. It was bad enough that the captain of the Koumyou arrived a month earlier. That he came as a package deal with that weepy, fretful, moony mess that passed as his world's Mitsuhide only made things worse.]

You needn't concern yourself with them at all. I imagine they'll find some way that you don't match up to their Magoichi as well.

[Well, they'd liked Ieyasu well enough, but everyone likes Ieyasu.]
