Mononobe no Futo

“ Tanuki are most comtemporary of late. To imagine that they wouldst don westerly attire and soareth through the skies![ ”

“ A god, thou sayeth? Dost thou come before me seeking to deliver me unto Heaven? Then mayhap there was value in having once before tasted death. ”

“ ...Alas, mine power doth lack greatly its usual potency, so soon after resurrection. In such a state as this, I was without recourse to prevent my defeat. ”

“ At last, thou hast revealed thy true nature. The protection of mine house from such miscreant thieves as thee is the purpose of mine resurrection! Inscribe into thy very body this fusion of the secret art of the Mononobe and the way of the Tao! ”

“ Thou who hast praised my resurrection: speak now, and name thyself. ”
