願ったのは平和とこの血の終わり。紡がれた理想と掟が私を支え、私を縛る。

「先に逝くといい。あちらで出会ったら名前くらいは教えてやろう」

この刀に斬れぬものなどないと讃えられようと、そこに意味はない。決して斬れぬ理想と掟、そしてふたりだけの血の繋がり。我らは黒斗、この世に蔓延る鬼も悪意もただ斬り払うのみ。
（ナツメの揺るがぬ心気）

What I wished for was peace--for an end to this bloodshed. But these codes and ideals bind me as much as they support me. "This will be your end. When we meet on the other side, only then will you know my name." They say there is nothing this sword cannot cut, but here it is powerless. These codes and ideals cannot be broken, nor can this bond of blood be severed. We cut down the demons and malice that run rampant through this world. We are Black Star. (Natsume's unwavering spirit)
