Some of you will know her from Mega Man Legends. But I first knew her from her spin-off game on the PlayStation, which I've been playing recently.

写案献之、如状者、

異国用心事、条々篇目具

被載下之候歟、然者楯并

石築地上垣楯令用意之、

来月一日以前、可被打越其

要害候

the more you sense the rareness and value of your own life , the more you realize that how you use it , how you manifest it , is all your responsibility .

we face such a big task , so naturally we sit down for a while —

the jiang sect motto in japanese is uh fun, because

OF COURSE it uses kobun, and

luckily it also uses a phrase that’s a saying on its own.

the saying is ”為せば成る為さねば成らぬ何事も成らぬは人の為さぬなりけり” KOBUN MY LOVE (<-- lying with tears in my eyes and pain in my heart)

of course, trying to find a translation to modern japanese was a bit of a hassle, because every website goes straight ahead to “well it means that if you try really hard, you’ll succeed” no! i want you to explain it to me like i’m five! but i finally found it! it’s やればできる。何事も、やらなければできない。できないのはいぇろうとしないからだ。 which basically means “if you try, you can do it. if you don’t try, you won’t do it. the reason why you/people can’t is because you/people don’t try”. COOL ! THANKS

now the jiang sect motto is, 成せぬと知りても、為さねば成らぬ. “even knowing that it’s impossible, if you don’t try, you won’t succeed”. it’s kinda. Very Japanese Language, considering that to say “you have to do it” in japanese, you say “it’ll be bad if you don’t do it”.
