"No matter who may be, one is evil from the moment he cuts down a person."

飄々とどこかつかみ所のない性格をしているが、やはり武人であり、正々堂々とした勝負を好む。
人死にが日常だった時代に生きたからか、その生死観は現代人には冷酷なものに見える事も。

Aloof from the world and having a somewhat elusive personality but,
as expected, he is a warrior who likes fair and square contests.
Due to living in an age where casualties happened on a daily basis, his perspectives about life and death may also seem cold-hearted for a modern person.

対人魔剣。最大補足・1人。
宝具に匹敵する、人の技だけで到達した剣技。
相手を三つの円で同時に断ち切る絶技。
多重次元屈折現象、と呼ばれる物の一つらしい。
もともとは空を飛ぶ燕を斬るために編み出されたもの。

Anti-Unit Mystic Sword. Maximum Targets: 1 person.
A sword technique that rivals Noble Phantasms, attained only with human techniques.
A special move that simultaneously cuts apart an enemy with three circles.
Seems to be one of the things that can be called multi-dimensional refraction phenomenon.
Originally, it was something developed to cut a swallow flying on the sky.

人間業ではないのだから。
空を飛ぶ燕を斬るために編み出した、と本人は言うが、無論、ここまでの魔技がなくとも燕は斬れる。
むしろそれだけの理由で剣の冥加に達したこの剣士が、どれほど妥協せず、また、極まった武の才を持っていたかという話だ。

For that is not the work of man.
He himself says that it was developed for cutting a flying swallow, but, of course, it is possible to cut a swallow even without a mystic technique such as this.
Rather, this is a story about the lack of compromise, and also, how much extreme talents for martial arts was possessed by this swordsman - who reached the blessings of the sword just for such a reason.

相手に同じ技、同じ剣技を何度使用しても命中精度が下がらない特殊な技能。
攻撃が見切られなくなる。
“攻撃に目が慣れる”などという下手な剣筋は繰り出さない、という事か。

A unique ability that prevents drop on hit-accuracy no matter how much the same technique, the same sword skill is employed against an opponent.
It becomes impossible to see through attacks.
"The eyes grow used to the attacks"; maybe it means that such inferior sword swings are not unleashed.

この“佐々木小次郎”は小次郎の伝説にある『燕返し』が再現できるという点から呼び出された名も無い剣士にすぎない。
架空の英霊を埋めるために呼び出された、生涯無名であった天才剣士の心境は───
やはり、「それも良し」なのだろう。

This “Sasaki Kojirō” is nothing more than a nameless swordsman who was called forth because of his ability to recreate the legendary "Swallow Reversal."
Of course, as a genius swordsman who was unknown in life, Kojirou’s thoughts on being summoned to fulfill the role of a fictional Heroic Spirit were, “This too, is fine.”
