After a bit of extensive reading on the Samurai Warriors series...

[umi_no_kami]

Fighting for a warless world... I see. That kind of paradoxical thinking does indeed remind me of Articuno. One who, for the sake of reason, perpetrates irreason. My favorite among the three I control, and yet, precisely due to its more reflective nature, the first to betray me in thought first, and in deed later. The similarities are many.

While, in my eyes, it is still not enough to justify its involvement in what seems to be a war, I do believe that Articuno may have found a kindred spirit in this... Mitsuhide.

That deep bond with a human... The thought that I may never again be able to experience such a thing plants the seeds of envy in my heart.

Ah, and do curb your excitement, mundane. The wait will be a long one.

A god envious of those who fight...

Perhaps you as well envision a warless world. Is that what you seek?

[umi_no_kami]

I do not ask that it be freed from conflict altogether. Merely that the ones I protect abstain from participating in it.

My vision is at the same time, somehow, more ambitious and more humble than that. The world I envision is a world where both humans and Pokémon never lose sight of how connected they are between themselves and with Nature, and learn to respect each other accordingly.

And yet that is not a world free from conflict. Awareness of that connection leads to superstition and hatred.

[umi_no_kami]

Conflict is, in part, what shapes this beautiful world. The fact that there is such variety in the objects of the world, and that they sometimes clash inevitably, is a thing of incredible beauty itself.

[Lugia, don't you know you're dealing with a different sociopath here? Talk of beauty will likely get you nowhere. :| ]

And I do not see how realizing that we are all connected would have something to do with superstition. It is a simple, and yet highly complex, fact of life.
