Tsuchiya Sohachiro:
[Quickly intervening to cover for Kagemusha's ignorance] You know the master's banner. What is printed there?

Takemaru:
[Reciting the slogan on the Takeda clan's banner] Swift as the wind... Quiet as a forest... Fierce as fire... Immovable as a mountain.

Tsuchiya Sohachiro:

The lord is that mountain. So we call him "the mountain."
