Wielding his blood sword, A hero who fights with pride, And slays with honor.
He is a brave soul, Drawing blood only for peace, Never for vengeance.
Even if he falls, In the midst of a battle, His name will stay on.
GISHI - A man of Rectitude. Rectitude is the power of deciding upon a certain course of conduct in accordance with reason, without wavering – to die when it is right to die, to strike when to strike is right.” (Inazo Nitobe, BUSHIDO, The Soul of Japan, p. 46)
