Saizo: Angry Ninja

At the castle

I am a Hoshidan ninja, fifth to bear the proud name of Saizo. I hope you've called me here with good reason.
— When summoned.
Prince Alfonse and Princess Sharena aren't attended by bodyguards. Or so it seems... Surely, they must have a ninja or two in the shadows. But if so, I'm unable to detect any.
— At the castle.
I serve Lord Ryoma, the future King of Hoshido. I have long protected him, no matter what the cost.
— At the castle.
I appreciate that you do your patrols. But I don't respond well to being stared at. So don't.
— At the castle.
You need training. Same goes for everyone here. But you're crucial. And especially defenseless.
— At the castle.
I'm always watching over you from the shadows. I've sensed you...sense me. Good. But not good enough. You miss me most of the time. If I were an enemy, you'd be in your grave by now.
— At the castle.
You there. I suspect that you are <player>, hmm? Then my mission is nearly over. I bring you greetings from <friend>.
— Delivering greetings from a friend.

On the character status screen

Sorry. Not the type to chat.
— On the character status screen.
Hmm... Is the Order of Heroes some form of royal castle guard?
— On the character status screen.
I never get tired. So don't insult me with coffee or tea. Or candy. Never candy.
— On the character status screen.
You're our leader. So I will respect your authority. Doesn't mean I have to like it.
— On the character status screen.
Why the blazes was I brought here, of all places?
— On the character status screen.
Is Lord Ryoma here? I do have a higher duty, you know.
— On the character status screen.
I'll do everything you command. But only so I can get back home to Hoshido faster!
— On the character status screen.

Level 40 quote

Hmpf. You always spot me now when I'm around. Not bad, <player>. You couldn't for a while, you know. I'd be standing right here, in front of your face, and you'd be oblivious. You, our great summoner, were wide open to attack from the shadows! Truly disturbing. And that's not all. I could follow you for half the day without you ever noticing that I was there. Oh, now before you run away with any foolish ideas, like maybe I was watching out for you... I should set the matter straight—that I was only monitoring our weak link. If you get taken out, then I'll be put in danger. If I get taken out, then my lord, Ryoma, loses my protection. What I'm trying to say is since you got better at taking care of yourself... I may be willing to watch out for you from the shadows. A little.

Saizo: Hoshido's Flame

At the castle

I am here—Saizo, fifth of my line. As a representative of Hoshido, I will show you what it is to be a ninja.
— When summoned
I am Saizo, fifth in my line to bear that name. I am always at the ready.
— At the castle
A true ninja is always on their guard. Those who act with ill intent could take advantage of a festival. For example.
— At the castle
Lord Ryoma will one day rule Hoshido. It is our task as ninja to ensure his reign is long.
— At the castle
Wha— What exactly is this "ninja food" they're serving at this festival? ...And why is it so sweet?

I see now... The festival is a ruse. The true goal is imparting ninja arts while assessing individual talents...

Level 40 quote

I did not come to tell others their approach to being a ninja is wrong. Such a self-centered way of thinking is not part of what it means to be a ninja to me. I myself—though I strove to keep my mind unclouded by selfishness—was once consumed by revenge... I led a life that took me away from what one might expect of a ninja. This festival has given me a chance to reflect back on the path I've taken. The path that led here. And you have let me see what being a ninja means to...people from worlds beyond imagining, it seems. For that, I thank you. The lessons I've learned here will be passed down to Saizo the Sixth, and so will outlive us both.
