He's as much a ninja as Kyodai was. 123 00:21:15,355 --> 00:21:18,799 Not so. Batman offered to help his adversary. 124 00:21:19,225 --> 00:21:22,571 A lesser man would have used the knowledge of the o-nemuri touch... 125 00:21:22,930 --> 00:21:28,161 against his opponent. Batman is the essence of samurai, Wayne san. 126 00:21:28,569 --> 00:21:33,485 - You would do well to remember that. - Domo arigato, sensei.
