A chill runs down your spine at the eeriness... Memorable Quotes of Harrison Yamanaka from “The Land Swindlers” (1–10)
I will make you climax in the most physical, most primitive, and most fetishistic way.Harrison Yamanaka
These lines, spoken in the scene where the traitor is cornered, convey just how grotesquely warped Harrison Yamanaka’s personality is.
In the context of what punishment he’ll mete out for betrayal, the harshness of the wording itself makes you feel the terror of the consequences.
The physical, primal aspect lets you sense the severity of the punishment, while the mention of a fetish highlights Harrison Yamanaka’s aberrant nature.
The fact that he delivers the punishment in a calm tone—everything about these words is laced with fear.
Land drives people madHarrison Yamanaka
These lines explain the human desire that drives why Harrison Yamanaka is trying to use land for profit.
The urge to own land is immense—so powerful it can even become a cause for war—and precisely because it’s a crazed, overwhelming desire, exploiting it leads to profit.
There’s a self-deprecating nuance too: by taking advantage of people driven mad by their lust for land, they themselves are also a little mad.
It’s the kind of reflection on what land really is that only someone who knows it inside and out could express.
To gain something is to lose something.Harrison Yamanaka
A famous saying that at first hearing can feel like a universal truth is, “To gain something, you must lose something.” It’s true that pursuing dreams or goals can cost you leisure time, and making a big purchase can cost you money—things that could happen in anyone’s life.
However, there’s a big difference between choosing to discard something yourself and ending up losing something as a result.
It’s an eerie saying that amplifies fear because it presupposes loss.
ad-libHarrison Yamanaka
The famous line by Harrison Yamanaka that appears repeatedly in the story, “Improvise,” says it all.
No matter how much time you spend or how meticulously you plan a project, unexpected troubles can still arise.
If you can adapt on the spot and improvise in those moments, you may achieve results beyond expectations.
Since in this world it’s often harder to make everything go according to plan, this quote reminds us of the importance of preparing for the unexpected and keeping our wits about us.
The value of things is, roughly speaking, something that changes from time to time.Harrison Yamanaka
These words express how foolish it is to be attached to value, given that the value of things changes with timing.
Using whisky—whose value has shifted dramatically with changing times—as an example, it argues that people focus on value rather than essence.
Blinded by rising prices, we overlook the essence, and in that respect it shares common ground with buying and selling land.
It also hints at a way of thinking about making a profit: the fixation on value and the risk of missing the essence create openings to exploit.
The only person I trust is you.Harrison Yamanaka
These are the words addressed to Takumi Tsujimoto, telling him that he is the only member he trusts.
They also convey the feelings tied to all the time spent raising him into a skilled land swindler.
Being told that someone trusts only you can make you lower your guard, and you can sense Harrison Yamanaka’s scheming in that.
If you assume he’s someone with hidden motives, the words invite suspicion, but because there’s a relationship between them, you might take them as his true feelings.
It also sounds like language deftly used to control the other person’s actions.
Isn’t it boring? Even if you’re fiddling away at something anyone can do.Harrison Yamanaka
A quote that reveals the madness in Harrison’s mountain den: “Isn’t it boring to fuss over the same things anyone can do?” In the story, this line becomes the catalyst for the land-scam group to take on a big job.
It reflects a mindset that revels in the thrill itself—wanting to savor the rush of success even if there are many risks and obstacles—and it conveys a sense of their twisted nature.
Be careful not to be carelessly influenced, or you could end up in an irreversible situation.
