Quotes 

• Hiro Nakamura : Takezo Kensai. My father used to tell me stories about him before bed. He was a wild savage with great power. All of Japan feared him. Until one day he found a sacred sword, frozen in the snow. From the moment Kensai held it... it focused all his strength. He said the sword let him control his power. And so he became a great leader. A hero.

  [Ando looks at the symbol on the sword] 

  Ando Masahashi : That symbol there. It's a combination of characters. "Great talent"... "Godsend." "Great talent"... "Godsend." Like your power.

  Hiro Nakamura : See? I'm like him. The sword will give me the control over my power I need. It's my sacred object. With it my powers will return and I can fulfill my destiny.

  Ando Masahashi : What exactly are you saying?

  Hiro Nakamura : I'm saying we take it.

  Ando Masahashi : We?

• Ando Masahashi : There's security everywhere. Stealing isn't exactly part of Bushido code, you know.

  Hiro Nakamura : It's one antique. If I don't have my powers... , this whole museum will explode anyway. It's a good deal for them.

• Hiro Nakamura : All the books I read said the sword is here.

  Ando Masahashi : So what? We finally make it to New York and all you care about is a sword. What about your mission?

  Hiro Nakamura : I need my powers for the mission!

  Ando Masahashi : But the bomb is going off on November eighth. We only have three more weeks.

  Hiro Nakamura : I know, but ever since I lost Charlie my powers have gotten weaker and weaker. My sword will restore my powers.

  Ando Masahashi : It's not your sword.

• Ando Masahashi : [after Hiro steals sword from museum]  That was amazing! You did it, Hiro!

  Hiro Nakamura : Never doubt me again. With this sword there's no limit to what I can accomplish. Our life of legend begins.
