“You do realize that as long as my daughter continues to exist, Aku continues to exist. She is a part of me and I a part of her. Suppose you find a way to the past to destroy me, you will be destroying her just as well. We are one in the same and we cannot be separated, just as good cannot exist without evil.
You will finally have to ask yourself who is more important: those you left behind in the past, or those you will leave behind and erase in the future. This is why Love is the purest form of Evil and no matter what path you choose, it will always hurt you in the end.”
“Goodnight, Sam-u-raiiii.”
“You think I have not thought of that!? Ashi does not want to live like this! I do not want to hurt her, but I cannot stand by and watch her suffer either! If she wants me to change the past, then I…”
“It does not matter how much it hurts me in the end. I must do what is best for everyone, and everyone agrees that the best thing for them is for you to be destroyed. My quest has always been to erase this future, I will not let my feelings get in the way of that.”
Aku could almost… almost feel pity for the guy. If he were capable of that.
“So you are admitting you are screwed either way and your life sucks. At least you are honest with yourself.” He gave a low chuckle.
“You were a fool to summon me to battle all those many years ago. And I was a fool to send you into the future. What I should have done was sent you into the past! That way you would have been eaten by a T-rex.”
“Yes, once and for all. You have spent fifty years proving you are nothing without the sword and you shall do so again.”
“I do not plan on losing to you this time, but I guess we shall see what happens tomorrow. I will do my best even without my sword.”

“Tomorrow, Samurai, when the crescent moon rises midway from the horizon, I will meet you for one FINAL DUEL. Then it will be my greatest pleasure to smite you from this world forever.”
“…Very well, tomorrow it is then. No more running away, we will end this once and for all.”
“Yes, once and for all. You have spent fifty years proving you are nothing without the sword and you shall do so again.”
“I was referring to another AKU, not you! I can CERTAINLY OBLITERATE YOU, SAMURAI, …when I am in the proper mood for it.”
“Ah, yes of course, because that has worked so well for you in the past. I am not scared of you, Aku.”
“Tomorrow, Samurai, when the crescent moon rises midway from the horizon, I will meet you for one FINAL DUEL. Then it will be my greatest pleasure to smite you from this world forever.”
