Hiro recounts the stories his father used to tell him about Kensei and the Dragon.
About
Hiro recalls that his father would tell him many stories about Takezo Kensei. One story in particular was requested every night. The story begins with Takezo wanting to unite Japan. He sought out the dragon of Kiso Mountain and asked the dragon to teach him the secrets of the sword. The dragon did accordingly, and taught the swordsman to become "the Kensei, the Sword Saint". Kensei fought his enemies and won, thus saving his people. But then, the dragon came to Kensei's palace, demanding the life of the princess. Instead, the warrior drew his sword and plunged it into his own heart. Kensei then handed the heart to the dragon and said, "My love is in here. Take it." And then he died.
The documentary Sword Saint notes that Kensei came to the Dragon seeking sword skills to defeat Whitebeard. The Dragon agreed to teach Kensei, but required Kensei's greatest love in return. Later, the Dragon crashed Kensei's wedding, demanding he turn over the bride. Kensei, clever and brave, committed suicide and offered his own heart to the Dragon instead.
