Muichiro Tokito’s quotes: Deep words from the Mist Hashira that leave a lasting mark (11–20)

Know your place and act accordingly. You’re not a baby.

These words are directed at Kotetsu, a young swordsmith.

Afraid that the training automaton, Yoriichi Type Zero, might be damaged, Kotetsu refuses to hand over the key, to which Muichiro coldly replies, “You can just make another one.” He goes on to say that obstructing a Hashira only increases the time in which many people will die, pressing further with hard truths like, “A Hashira’s time and an ordinary person’s time are not of the same value,” and “Swordsmiths can only make weapons.” His string of seemingly heartless remarks shocks those around him, but it also reflects Muichiro’s sense of duty.
