SW:C Kiyomasa's Events transcript
Among all the final events I've unlocked, Kiyomasa's is definitely the happiest(?) (and the weirdest). I guess it makes up for all the angst in his earlier events.
1. Three Fools
Showing no concern for Mitsunari and Kiyomasa, Masanori shouted out!
Masanori: We did it! Our time for rule is here!
Mitsunari: Settle down. It is not complete over.
Masanori: Just how big-headed are you? Let your hair down for once, why don't you?
Sakon: He's right. It is traditional to celebrate on these occasions.
Mitsunari: I suppose that is human nature.
Kiyomasa smiled as he watched Mitsunari and Masanori.
1> Congratulations, Kiyomasa.
2> What's wrong, Kiyomasa?
1
Kiyomasa: Yes, MC, we did it.
Kiyomasa accepted MC's congratulations as he looked to Masanori and smiled.
Masanori: Hm? What are you smiling about, Kiyomasa?
2
(no unique dialogue)
Kiyomasa: Sorry, it just seemed funny. We've just been in battle, ready to die at any moment, ever since we were kids. We sharpened our skills and we're older now. But nothing seems to have changed on the inside. That goes for me, for Mitsunari, and for you too, Masanori. We're still just dumb kids.
Masanori: What are you talking about, Kiyomasa? That's not true. No matter how you look at it, we're big, strong, dangerous adults! Right, MC?
1> You're stupid adults.
2> You're dangerous fools.
1 and 2
Masanori: Hey!
Sakon: There's nothing wrong with being stupid. You three fools are trying to unite the land, right? That kind of plan could only be born from stupidity.
Mitsunari: In that case, I have high expectations of the power of fools.
Masanori: Good. Bring it on! I'm as stupid as you can get. Yeah!
Kiyomasa: So, MC, how about joining our stupidity?
2. House of the Toyotomi
After the conquest of Kyushu, Kiyomasa Kato's achievements were honored. He was given a large area of land in Higo. After entering Kumamoto Castle, Kiyomasa began building a fortress. MC paid him a visit.
Kiyomasa: What do you think, MC? It looks like it will make a magnificent castle. I've always been good at building things, ever since I was a kid. It just gives me a feeling of accomplishment. I especially like working on castles. I can just imagine the smiles on everyone's faces when they're done.
Kiyomasa: So, you've been around for a while now. Are you comfortable in the house of the Toyotomi?
1> Yes.
2> No.
1
Kiyomasa: Good.
2
Kiyomasa: Then what are you doing here, you fool?! Sorry I got angry. Mitsunari and I just get worked up when it comes to protecting our house.
1>It's great that you and Mitsunari are such good friends.
2> It's great that you and Masanori are such good friends.
1
Kiyomasa: Mitsunari and I? You think so? Well, I do think he has talent. I'm just tired of how incredibly stubborn he is. I guess I never gave it much thought.
2
Kiyomasa: Well, we are sort of like brothers. He's been an incorrigible fool ever since I can remember, though. I just can't leave that loud mouth alone. Mitsunari and I are always getting mixed up in his problems. I guess being stupid can have its charms.
Kiyomasa: Mitsunari, Masanori and I were raised in the house of the Toyotomi. Lord Hideyoshi and Lady Nene made it warm, friendly, and just impossible to leave.
1> So, you like Hideyoshi?
2> So, you like Nene?
1
Kiyomasa: It's more than just liking him. He's everything to me. He can control people with his wit and protect them with his smile. That's why you and great generals like Lord Toshiie and many others come to this house.
2
Kiyomasa: Oh, um well. Lady Nene is a very important person to me. She took a stray dog like me into her home, disciplined me and raised me with love. She and my lord raised us like we were their own sons.
Kiyomasa: They're our family. I wouldn't be what I am today without this house. I want to keep this house safe from harm as long as I can.
1> So do I.
2> Just don't overdo it.
1
Kiyomasa: Thank you. It's a great comfort to have you with us.
2
Kiyomasa was taken aback for a moment, looked at MC and smiled kindly.
Kiyomasa: Thanks. I think I feel better now.
Kiyomasa: The battle continues. All men fight with everything they have to protect their homes. I must become stronger.
3. Kiyomasa and Mitsunari
After conquering Shikoku, MC discussed the situation with Kiyomasa, Mitsunari, and Kanbei.
Kiyomasa: You did well in Shikoku, MC. But we must stay alert until Lord Hideyoshi unites the land.
Kanbei: The feudal lords are helpless now. We can worry about them after the land is united.
Everyone was taken aback by Kanbei's bluntness.
Kanbei: It's only a matter of time before Lord Hideyoshi unites Japan. BUt that's only because he has true strength. If his successor does not have that strength, those rats we call feudal lords will threaten the peace.
Kiyomasa: Our clan is not so fragile as to be taken down by mere rats. I'll win them over before they do any damage.
Mitsunari: Feudal lords are human. And human beings can be seduced by power or threatened with death. We can win them over with power and authority. But that only works temporarily. Their spirit will not remain bound forever.
Kiyomasa: How unusual to hear you to say such a commendable thing. I've never known you to second-guess yourself like that.
Mitsunari: It's better than being all mouth and no brain.
1> We can try to figure out the answer together.
2> This isn't the time to be fighting.
1 and 2
Kiyomasa: You're right. I apologize.
Kanbei: You are the next generation of Toyotomi leaders. If you don't find an answer, you know what will happen.
4. What it Takes
After the battle, Kiyomasa stood alone. MC called out to him.
Kiyomasa: I can't get Mitsunari's nonsense out of my head. Remember what he was talking about after we conquered Shikoku? That we could win them over with power, but that it wouldn't last.
Kiyomasa: He has a point. After fighting with the Tachibana and the Shimazu, I came to understand how difficult it is to tame people like that. And I see now that the fate of a clan often rests on who's in charge.
1> That's right.
2> I don't think that's true.
1
Kiyomasa: …
2
Kiyomasa: Don't try to ease my nerves.
Kiyomasa: I have to figure out the answer.
Muneshige: You'll never be able to do it.
Kiyomasa: What? What are you doing, butting in all of a sudden?
Muneshige: You look terrible.
Kiyomasa: Huh?
Muneshige: Smile. You can't lead a happy people looking like that.
Kiyomasa: Mitsunari and I are fools. It will take more than smiles to lead the land that Lord Hideyoshi left to us.
Muneshige: Then what are you going to do?
Kiyomasa: …I don't know. Not yet. But I'll try to figure it out. In my own stupid way. If we keep looking straight ahead, determined to protect our clan… I'm sure the path will open up.
5. A House to Protect
After the battle, the Toyotomi retainers gathered in the Odawara camp. They sang, danced, ate, and drank together, sharing the joy of having united the land at last.
Kiyomasa, however, kept away from the group and stared up at the sky alone.
1> Congratulations, Kiyomasa.
2> What's wrong, Kiyomasa?
1 and 2
Shocked, Kiyomasa turned to MC.
Kiyomasa: Oh, it's you, MC. I'm sorry. I don't know where my mind was. I've accomplished everything I've set out to do, and now…
He looked up at the sky again.
Kiyomasa: I can't remember the last time I really looked up at the sky. It's been one battle after another for so long…
Nene: Hey, Kiyomasa!
Suddenly, Nene showed up and chopped Kiyomasa in the throat.
Kiyomasa: Ouch! Lady Nene! What are you doing?
Nene: Hideyoshi has finally united Japan, and you're here sulking all by yourself? Mitsunari and Masanori are having fun over there. You should join them!
Masanori was cheerfully drinking with his arm around Mitsunari, who didn't seem to like it much.
Hideyoshi noticed Kiyomasa, and came over to him.
Hideyoshi: What's wrong, Kiyomasa? Have a drink!
Kiyomasa took the cup from Hideyoshi and bowed.
Kiyomasa: Lord Hideyoshi, Lady Nene, congratulations on uniting the land. I will protect your land. I swear.
Hideyoshi smiled gently at Kiyomasa and emptied his cup.
Hideyoshi: That's impossible. Everything will come to an end sooner or later.
Kiyomasa: …?!
Hideyoshi: Don't look so serious. There's nothing to worry about. If something breaks, we'll build it again. You can do that, can't you Kiyomasa?
Hideyoshi grinned at Kiyomasa and staggered back to the crowd. Masanori and Mitsunari had started an argument.
Nene: At last the land is united in peace… You have my thanks, MC, Kiyomasa. You both worked hard. You were really something to see!
6. Divided
- Osaka Castle Surrounds -
After Hideyoshi's death, a struggle for succession fractured the Toyotomi clan. Once Toshiie Maeda died, Masanori Fukushima and others decided to oppose Mitsunari Ishida. Leading his army, Masanori attacked Mitsunari's house in Osaka. Next to Masanori stood Kiyomasa Kato.
Suspecting Masanori's attack, Mitsunari had tried to escape Osaka at night. Fate, however, did not allow Mitsunari to escape. Kiyomasa caught him.
Kiyomasa: Mitsunari.
Mitsunari: You betrayed the Toyotomi and captured me. Is that your answer? Pathetic.
Kiyomasa: It's better than being an idealistic fool, ruled by his imagination.
Mitsunari: What did you come here to tell me?
Kiyomasa: Don't fight.
Mitsunari: Even if you side with the Tokugawa, you'll eventually be crushed.
Kiyomasa: You will lose.
Mitsunari: Perhaps. But you will too. The Toyotomi submitting to Ieyasu? Do you really think there's a future for the Toyotomi in that? Forgetting duty, being seduced by greed, and submitting to power… The Toyotomi without duty aren't the Toyotomi anymore!
Mitsunari: In a land filled with corruption, we will have no place to go home to!
Kiyomasa: Then get out. Are you saying you can defeat Ieyasu? That you'll do your duty to Lord Hideyoshi and gather allies to right with you? That you can defeat Ieyasu and unite Japan?
Kiyomasa: Have you lost your mind?! Neither you nor I can accomplish such a thing. You'll only destroy our clan! You'll be finished if you challenge Ieyasu. The only thing we can do now is to join him.
Mitsunari: I'm not joining the likes of him.
Kiyomasa: Then you will die alone. I will protect our clan.
Kiyomasa let Mitsunari live. But after this incident, Kiyomasa and Mitsunari parted ways. Mitsunari challenged Ieyasu, while Kiyomasa and Masanori submitted to him. They clashed as they each tried to protect the Toyotomi's legacy.
Kiyomasa: Cheer up, Masanori. I know you don't want to surrender to the Tokugawa. But this war is inevitable. You don't have to come with me if you don't want to. Even alone, I will figure out the answer.
Masanori: You fool. Did you think I'll leave you alone? I'm not that smart, you know. I can't figure out what the right answer is. So I'll follow you, like I always have.
Masanori: But are you sure you don't mind, Kiyomasa? You and Mitsunari were always saying that the three of us would protect the Toyotomi's legacy. Are you sure you don't mind? This has to be hard for you!
Kiyomasa: So what? You fool. Remember what you, Mitsunari and I would always say to each other? That we can only move forward by believing in our path.
7. Ill Tidings
At the Battle of Sekigahara, Mitsunari's Western Army lost to Ieyasu's Eastern Army. Kiyomasa Kato attacked Yanagawa Castle where his old friend Muneshige Tachibana of the Western Army was barricaded. In his army camp, Kiyomasa spoke to MC after hearing of Mitsunari's defeat.
Kiyomasa: Me and Mitsunari… It's like we're children! Nothing has changed. Lord Hideyoshi and Lady Nene used to scold us again and again. They would say that we had to quit being stubborn and get along with each other.
Kiyomasa: But there is no way… There is no way I could've given way to Mitsunari! It was certain Ieyasu would win. I just…! I just wanted to protect the clan. My clan - our clan. So, I kept going.
Kiyomasa: I still don't know… What was right and what was wrong. I didn't have the answer back then. And I never will!
1> That's not true. Trust yourself.
2> That's okay. Let's keep going together.
1 and 2
Kiyomasa: Thank you.
8. As Often as it Takes
At the battle of Yanagawa, Kiyomasa Kato persuaded Muneshige Tachibana to surrender Yanagawa Castle. After that, Muneshige decided to become a ronin, declining offers from Kiyomasa and other feudal lords. MC stood next to Kiyomasa as he said goodbye to Muneshige.
Kiyomasa: Being a ronin suits you.
Muneshige: I still have my castle.
Kiyomasa: I see. You have protect your clan. In your own way.
Muneshige: Couldn't you have protected yours?
Kiyomasa: I don't know. But someone once told me it didn't matter.
Kiyomasa glanced at MC.
Kiyomasa: So I decided to rebuild it with them. Together we will make a house where everyone can be happy.
Muneshige: Heh.
Kiyomasa: Don't laugh. It's embarrassing.
Muneshige: I'm just happy. You wanted a house where you everyone could be happy, right?
Kiyomasa: Whatever, you fool.
In 1610, Kiyomasa was ordered by the Tokugawa to help with the construction of Nagoya Castle in Owari. Kiyomasa used the most advanced technology of the time to build the main keep's stone walls, creating an impressive castle.
Kiyomasa: It's a good castle. As good as Kumamoto Castle.
1> You really like architecture, don't you?
2> All of your buildings are good.
1
Kiyomasa: Maybe I was more cut out for this then fighting, huh?
2
(no unique dialogue)
Kiyomasa: Perhaps I should make better use of this talent. I'm here, and so are you. We can build and rebuild as many times as we want. Together we can make a new clan and a new era. We'll never stop. Ever.
Kiyomasa: Sorry. I've been thinking for a while… That you kind of… uh, remind me of Lady Nene.
1> I'm flattered.
2> Don't lump me in with her.
1
Kiyomasa: I-I see… Good, then.
2
Kiyomasa: Oh, uh, sorry. Uh, how can I say this…? You're different from anybody else. You're special… and very important to me.
Kiyomasa: Can I say one last thing? Let's go home. Together.
9. Bathroom Break
In a toilet…
Kiyomasa: Ahh. It's nice and relaxing in here.
Shingen: Hey, Kiyomasa. What a coincidence seeing you in a place like this.
Kiyomasa: What the…!? the Tiger of Kai, what are you going here!?
Shingen: I like big bathrooms like this. My private one is as broad as six tatami mats.
Kiyomasa: Just go away!
Masamune: Silence! I can't concentrate on my reading!
Kiyomasa: Masamune, not you, too!
Masamune: This is the best place to read! I could stay here for hours!
Kiyomasa: Get out! I'm using it now!
Hideyoshi: Lighten up, Kiyomasa!
Kiyomasa: Lord Hideyoshi!? What are you doing here?!
Hideyoshi: It's nice here, Kiyomasa! It's a great place to socialize!
Kenshin: Here, the door to nirvana will open.
Kiyomasa: Don't open the door! I mean, you're here too, MC? This was supposed to be my time to relax!

戦国厠事情・弐
とある厕
加藤清正：なんだこの厠、やけに綺麗だな。高下駄を用意したが不要だったか。
武田信玄：気に入ってくれたかね？水洗式にしてみたんじゃよ。
加藤清正：うおっ、甲斐の虎！？また出やがったか！
武田信玄：草木（臭き）が絶えぬようでは、山と呼ばれてしまうからのう。
加藤清正：ダジャレはいいから、出てけよ！
徳川家康：おおっと、紙が風で飛ばされて外へ…
加藤清正：そのかっこで追いかけるなよ！ってか、いたのかよ！
石田三成：清正、長いようだが…大丈夫か？舶来品だが、いいものをやろう。志也保牟（シャボン）と言って、下剤の代わりになる。
加藤清正：余計なお世話だっつうの！
山中鹿介：すまん、隠れさせてくれ！護送中に逃げるところなんだ。
加藤清正：腹痛のふりして、厠に逃げ込むのは定番かよ！
加藤清正：って、またお前まで…俺の憩いの場を返せー！
Bathroom Break - Part 2
In a toilet…
Kiyomasa: What's with this toilet, it's so clean. There are clogs prepared here but I won't have to use them.
Shingen: Did it catch your interest? I'm testing out the flush toilet.
Kiyomasa: Whoa, the Tiger of Kai?! You're here again?!
Shingen: I call it a mountain because it's always as fertile as one.
Kiyomasa: Enough with your jokes, get out!
Ieyasu: Oh no, the wind is blowing the paper away…
Kiyomasa: Don't go out and chase it looking like that! Wait, you're here?!
Mitsunari: Kiyomasa, you seem to be taking a long time… Are you all right? What I have here is an imported good but it seems to be effective. It's called shabon and it can be used as a replacement for laxatives.
Kiyomasa: Mind your own business!
Shikanosuke: Sorry, please let me hide here! I'm running away from the guards.
Kiyomasa: Are you using the cliche of pretending to have a stomachache and running away to a toilet?!
Kiyomasa: What, again, even you are here… Give me back my place to relax!
The last two events are actually full of historical references :D (In hindsight, it's probably not that surprising. The more random an event seems, the more likely it is to be a historical reference.) I can't find good sources of info for the references here (most of them are just from wikipedia haha) so take this with a grain of salt.
1. Kiyomasa had piles and would spend a long time in the toilet, so much so that '清正公の長雪隠' is a thing. I suppose this phrase could be translated as 'Lord Seishōkō's long toilet sessions', Seishōkō being the on-yomi reading of Kiyomasa's name. Kiyomasa was also fastidious about cleanliness, and would wear getas of about 30cm tall in the toilet.
2. Shingen installed a flush toilet at Tsutsujisaki Yakata, a (not quite) castle which was home to the Takeda clan. (It works this way: the water from behind the castle was collected; when Shingen was done, he would pull on a string to ring a bell, and the message would be passed on and the servants in charge would flush the water from a higher altitude.) The toilet was also very large, and Shingen wrote letters and worked out his strategies there. (I read one comment saying that the reason why it's so wide is so that it's safer, enemies outside wouldn't be able to reach Shingen even with swords or spears.)
山には常に、草木（臭き）が絶えぬから
Shingen called the toilet a 'mountain' because a mountain always has vegetation (草木; kusaki) and a toilet always has a stench (臭き; kusaki).
3. Kenshin saying that 'the door to nirvana' will open is a terrible joke considering that one of the anecdotes about his death is that he was assassinated in the toilet.
4. I can't find much info about this but apparently Masamune was also fond of spending a long time in the toilet to do his thinking (thinking up new recipes or planning meals). His toilet was large enough to accommodate a sword rack, an inkstone, paper, books and an incense burner.
5. Hideyoshi saying that the toilet is 'a great place to socialize' is probably related to the role of the Ornamental Privy (why yes, there is such a thing) in tea ceremonies. Like its name suggests, a privy that's purely ornamental and exists for guests to a tea ceremony to view. The first ornamental privy was made by Sen no Rikyū for Hideyoshi. Apparently it was made for legit privy-related reasons but after it served its purpose, Rikyū started showing it off to guests.
6. Soap was introduced in Japan by western countries during the Azuchi-Momoyama period. The earliest written record that mentioned soap was found in a letter written by Mitsunari and addressed to a Hakata merchant, in which Mitsunari thanked them for the soap. In the letter, soap was written as 志也保牟 (read as shabon), which was probably derived from the Portugese word for soap, sabao.
7. Yamanaka Shikanosuke is a fairly important NPC in the Mōri story path in SW3: Empires. He was captured and imprisoned by Motonari's son during one of the battles that took place from his efforts to revive the Amago clan. According to some historical records, he went to the toilet many times due to dysentery and eventually escaped when the guards were careless.

1. Three Fools
Showing no concern for Mitsunari and Kiyomasa, Masanori shouted out!
Masanori: We did it! Our time for rule is here!
Mitsunari: Settle down. It is not complete over.
Masanori: Just how big-headed are you? Let your hair down for once, why don't you?
Sakon: He's right. It is traditional to celebrate on these occasions.
Mitsunari: I suppose that is human nature.
Kiyomasa smiled as he watched Mitsunari and Masanori.
1> Congratulations, Kiyomasa.
2> What's wrong, Kiyomasa?
1
Kiyomasa: Yes, MC, we did it.
Kiyomasa accepted MC's congratulations as he looked to Masanori and smiled.
Masanori: Hm? What are you smiling about, Kiyomasa?
2
(no unique dialogue)
Kiyomasa: Sorry, it just seemed funny. We've just been in battle, ready to die at any moment, ever since we were kids. We sharpened our skills and we're older now. But nothing seems to have changed on the inside. That goes for me, for Mitsunari, and for you too, Masanori. We're still just dumb kids.
Masanori: What are you talking about, Kiyomasa? That's not true. No matter how you look at it, we're big, strong, dangerous adults! Right, MC?
1> You're stupid adults.
2> You're dangerous fools.
1 and 2
Masanori: Hey!
Sakon: There's nothing wrong with being stupid. You three fools are trying to unite the land, right? That kind of plan could only be born from stupidity.
Mitsunari: In that case, I have high expectations of the power of fools.
Masanori: Good. Bring it on! I'm as stupid as you can get. Yeah!
Kiyomasa: So, MC, how about joining our stupidity?
2. House of the Toyotomi
After the conquest of Kyushu, Kiyomasa Kato's achievements were honored. He was given a large area of land in Higo. After entering Kumamoto Castle, Kiyomasa began building a fortress. MC paid him a visit.

1>It's great that you and Mitsunari are such good friends.
2> It's great that you and Masanori are such good friends.
1
Kiyomasa: Mitsunari and I? You think so? Well, I do think he has talent. I'm just tired of how incredibly stubborn he is. I guess I never gave it much thought.
2
Kiyomasa: Well, we are sort of like brothers. He's been an incorrigible fool ever since I can remember, though. I just can't leave that loud mouth alone. Mitsunari and I are always getting mixed up in his problems. I guess being stupid can have its charms.
Kiyomasa: Mitsunari, Masanori and I were raised in the house of the Toyotomi. Lord Hideyoshi and Lady Nene made it warm, friendly, and just impossible to leave.

1> So do I.
2> Just don't overdo it.
1
Kiyomasa: Thank you. It's a great comfort to have you with us.
2
Kiyomasa was taken aback for a moment, looked at MC and smiled kindly.
Kiyomasa: Thanks. I think I feel better now.
Kiyomasa: The battle continues. All men fight with everything they have to protect their homes. I must become stronger.
3. Kiyomasa and Mitsunari
After conquering Shikoku, MC discussed the situation with Kiyomasa, Mitsunari, and Kanbei.
Kiyomasa: You did well in Shikoku, MC. But we must stay alert until Lord Hideyoshi unites the land.

Kiyomasa: How unusual to hear you to say such a commendable thing. I've never known you to second-guess yourself like that.
Mitsunari: It's better than being all mouth and no brain.
1> We can try to figure out the answer together.
2> This isn't the time to be fighting.
1 and 2
Kiyomasa: You're right. I apologize.
Kanbei: You are the next generation of Toyotomi leaders. If you don't find an answer, you know what will happen.
4. What it Takes
After the battle, Kiyomasa stood alone. MC called out to him.

Kiyomasa: He has a point. After fighting with the Tachibana and the Shimazu, I came to understand how difficult it is to tame people like that. And I see now that the fate of a clan often rests on who's in charge.
1> That's right.
2> I don't think that's true.
1
Kiyomasa: …
2
Kiyomasa: Don't try to ease my nerves.
Kiyomasa: I have to figure out the answer.
Muneshige: You'll never be able to do it.
Kiyomasa: What? What are you doing, butting in all of a sudden?
Muneshige: You look terrible.
Kiyomasa: Huh?
Muneshige: Smile. You can't lead a happy people looking like that.
Kiyomasa: Mitsunari and I are fools. It will take more than smiles to lead the land that Lord Hideyoshi left to us.
Muneshige: Then what are you going to do?
Kiyomasa: …I don't know. Not yet. But I'll try to figure it out. In my own stupid way. If we keep looking straight ahead, determined to protect our clan… I'm sure the path will open up.

Kiyomasa: Oh, it's you, MC. I'm sorry. I don't know where my mind was. I've accomplished everything I've set out to do, and now…
He looked up at the sky again.
Kiyomasa: I can't remember the last time I really looked up at the sky. It's been one battle after another for so long…
Nene: Hey, Kiyomasa!
Suddenly, Nene showed up and chopped Kiyomasa in the throat.
Kiyomasa: Ouch! Lady Nene! What are you doing?
Nene: Hideyoshi has finally united Japan, and you're here sulking all by yourself? Mitsunari and Masanori are having fun over there. You should join them!
Masanori was cheerfully drinking with his arm around Mitsunari, who didn't seem to like it much.
Hideyoshi noticed Kiyomasa, and came over to him.
Hideyoshi: What's wrong, Kiyomasa? Have a drink!
Kiyomasa took the cup from Hideyoshi and bowed.
Kiyomasa: Lord Hideyoshi, Lady Nene, congratulations on uniting the land. I will protect your land. I swear.
Hideyoshi smiled gently at Kiyomasa and emptied his cup.
Hideyoshi: That's impossible. Everything will come to an end sooner or later.
Kiyomasa: …?!
Hideyoshi: Don't look so serious. There's nothing to worry about. If something breaks, we'll build it again. You can do that, can't you Kiyomasa?
Hideyoshi grinned at Kiyomasa and staggered back to the crowd. Masanori and Mitsunari had started an argument.
Nene: At last the land is united in peace… You have my thanks, MC, Kiyomasa. You both worked hard. You were really something to see!
6. Divided
- Osaka Castle Surrounds -
After Hideyoshi's death, a struggle for succession fractured the Toyotomi clan. Once Toshiie Maeda died, Masanori Fukushima and others decided to oppose Mitsunari Ishida. Leading his army, Masanori attacked Mitsunari's house in Osaka. Next to Masanori stood Kiyomasa Kato.
Suspecting Masanori's attack, Mitsunari had tried to escape Osaka at night. Fate, however, did not allow Mitsunari to escape. Kiyomasa caught him.
Kiyomasa: Mitsunari.
Mitsunari: You betrayed the Toyotomi and captured me. Is that your answer? Pathetic.
Kiyomasa: It's better than being an idealistic fool, ruled by his imagination.
Mitsunari: What did you come here to tell me?
Kiyomasa: Don't fight.
Mitsunari: Even if you side with the Tokugawa, you'll eventually be crushed.
Kiyomasa: You will lose.
Mitsunari: Perhaps. But you will too. The Toyotomi submitting to Ieyasu? Do you really think there's a future for the Toyotomi in that? Forgetting duty, being seduced by greed, and submitting to power… The Toyotomi without duty aren't the Toyotomi anymore!
Mitsunari: In a land filled with corruption, we will have no place to go home to!
Kiyomasa: Then get out. Are you saying you can defeat Ieyasu? That you'll do your duty to Lord Hideyoshi and gather allies to right with you? That you can defeat Ieyasu and unite Japan?
Kiyomasa: Have you lost your mind?! Neither you nor I can accomplish such a thing. You'll only destroy our clan! You'll be finished if you challenge Ieyasu. The only thing we can do now is to join him.
Mitsunari: I'm not joining the likes of him.
Kiyomasa: Then you will die alone. I will protect our clan.
Kiyomasa let Mitsunari live. But after this incident, Kiyomasa and Mitsunari parted ways. Mitsunari challenged Ieyasu, while Kiyomasa and Masanori submitted to him. They clashed as they each tried to protect the Toyotomi's legacy.
Kiyomasa: Cheer up, Masanori. I know you don't want to surrender to the Tokugawa. But this war is inevitable. You don't have to come with me if you don't want to. Even alone, I will figure out the answer.
Masanori: You fool. Did you think I'll leave you alone? I'm not that smart, you know. I can't figure out what the right answer is. So I'll follow you, like I always have.
Masanori: But are you sure you don't mind, Kiyomasa? You and Mitsunari were always saying that the three of us would protect the Toyotomi's legacy. Are you sure you don't mind? This has to be hard for you!
Kiyomasa: So what? You fool. Remember what you, Mitsunari and I would always say to each other? That we can only move forward by believing in our path.
7. Ill Tidings
At the Battle of Sekigahara, Mitsunari's Western Army lost to Ieyasu's Eastern Army. Kiyomasa Kato attacked Yanagawa Castle where his old friend Muneshige Tachibana of the Western Army was barricaded. In his army camp, Kiyomasa spoke to MC after hearing of Mitsunari's defeat.
Kiyomasa: Me and Mitsunari… It's like we're children! Nothing has changed. Lord Hideyoshi and Lady Nene used to scold us again and again. They would say that we had to quit being stubborn and get along with each other.
Kiyomasa: But there is no way… There is no way I could've given way to Mitsunari! It was certain Ieyasu would win. I just…! I just wanted to protect the clan. My clan - our clan. So, I kept going.
Kiyomasa: I still don't know… What was right and what was wrong. I didn't have the answer back then. And I never will!
1> That's not true. Trust yourself.
2> That's okay. Let's keep going together.
1 and 2
Kiyomasa: Thank you.
8. As Often as it Takes
At the battle of Yanagawa, Kiyomasa Kato persuaded Muneshige Tachibana to surrender Yanagawa Castle. After that, Muneshige decided to become a ronin, declining offers from Kiyomasa and other feudal lords. MC stood next to Kiyomasa as he said goodbye to Muneshige.
Kiyomasa: Being a ronin suits you.
Muneshige: I still have my castle.
Kiyomasa: I see. You have protect your clan. In your own way.
Muneshige: Couldn't you have protected yours?
Kiyomasa: I don't know. But someone once told me it didn't matter.
Kiyomasa glanced at MC.
Kiyomasa: So I decided to rebuild it with them. Together we will make a house where everyone can be happy.
Muneshige: Heh.
Kiyomasa: Don't laugh. It's embarrassing.
Muneshige: I'm just happy. You wanted a house where you everyone could be happy, right?
Kiyomasa: Whatever, you fool.
In 1610, Kiyomasa was ordered by the Tokugawa to help with the construction of Nagoya Castle in Owari. Kiyomasa used the most advanced technology of the time to build the main keep's stone walls, creating an impressive castle.
Kiyomasa: It's a good castle. As good as Kumamoto Castle.
1> You really like architecture, don't you?
2> All of your buildings are good.
1
Kiyomasa: Maybe I was more cut out for this then fighting, huh?
2
(no unique dialogue)
Kiyomasa: Perhaps I should make better use of this talent. I'm here, and so are you. We can build and rebuild as many times as we want. Together we can make a new clan and a new era. We'll never stop. Ever.
Kiyomasa: Sorry. I've been thinking for a while… That you kind of… uh, remind me of Lady Nene.
1> I'm flattered.
2> Don't lump me in with her.
1
Kiyomasa: I-I see… Good, then.
2
Kiyomasa: Oh, uh, sorry. Uh, how can I say this…? You're different from anybody else. You're special… and very important to me.
Kiyomasa: Can I say one last thing? Let's go home. Together.
9. Bathroom Break
In a toilet…
Kiyomasa: Ahh. It's nice and relaxing in here.
Shingen: Hey, Kiyomasa. What a coincidence seeing you in a place like this.
Kiyomasa: What the…!? the Tiger of Kai, what are you going here!?
Shingen: I like big bathrooms like this. My private one is as broad as six tatami mats.
Kiyomasa: Just go away!
Masamune: Silence! I can't concentrate on my reading!
Kiyomasa: Masamune, not you, too!
Masamune: This is the best place to read! I could stay here for hours!
Kiyomasa: Get out! I'm using it now!
Hideyoshi: Lighten up, Kiyomasa!
Kiyomasa: Lord Hideyoshi!? What are you doing here?!
Hideyoshi: It's nice here, Kiyomasa! It's a great place to socialize!
Kenshin: Here, the door to nirvana will open.
Kiyomasa: Don't open the door! I mean, you're here too, MC? This was supposed to be my time to relax!

戦国厠事情・弐
とある厕
加藤清正：なんだこの厠、やけに綺麗だな。高下駄を用意したが不要だったか。
武田信玄：気に入ってくれたかね？水洗式にしてみたんじゃよ。
加藤清正：うおっ、甲斐の虎！？また出やがったか！
武田信玄：草木（臭き）が絶えぬようでは、山と呼ばれてしまうからのう。
加藤清正：ダジャレはいいから、出てけよ！
徳川家康：おおっと、紙が風で飛ばされて外へ…
加藤清正：そのかっこで追いかけるなよ！ってか、いたのかよ！
石田三成：清正、長いようだが…大丈夫か？舶来品だが、いいものをやろう。志也保牟（シャボン）と言って、下剤の代わりになる。
加藤清正：余計なお世話だっつうの！
山中鹿介：すまん、隠れさせてくれ！護送中に逃げるところなんだ。
加藤清正：腹痛のふりして、厠に逃げ込むのは定番かよ！
加藤清正：って、またお前まで…俺の憩いの場を返せー！
Bathroom Break - Part 2
In a toilet…
Kiyomasa: What's with this toilet, it's so clean. There are clogs prepared here but I won't have to use them.
Shingen: Did it catch your interest? I'm testing out the flush toilet.
Kiyomasa: Whoa, the Tiger of Kai?! You're here again?!
Shingen: I call it a mountain because it's always as fertile as one.
Kiyomasa: Enough with your jokes, get out!
Ieyasu: Oh no, the wind is blowing the paper away…
Kiyomasa: Don't go out and chase it looking like that! Wait, you're here?!
Mitsunari: Kiyomasa, you seem to be taking a long time… Are you all right? What I have here is an imported good but it seems to be effective. It's called shabon and it can be used as a replacement for laxatives.
Kiyomasa: Mind your own business!
Shikanosuke: Sorry, please let me hide here! I'm running away from the guards.
Kiyomasa: Are you using the cliche of pretending to have a stomachache and running away to a toilet?!
Kiyomasa: What, again, even you are here… Give me back my place to relax!
The last two events are actually full of historical references :D (In hindsight, it's probably not that surprising. The more random an event seems, the more likely it is to be a historical reference.) I can't find good sources of info for the references here (most of them are just from wikipedia haha) so take this with a grain of salt.
1. Kiyomasa had piles and would spend a long time in the toilet, so much so that '清正公の長雪隠' is a thing. I suppose this phrase could be translated as 'Lord Seishōkō's long toilet sessions', Seishōkō being the on-yomi reading of Kiyomasa's name. Kiyomasa was also fastidious about cleanliness, and would wear getas of about 30cm tall in the toilet.
2. Shingen installed a flush toilet at Tsutsujisaki Yakata, a (not quite) castle which was home to the Takeda clan. (It works this way: the water from behind the castle was collected; when Shingen was done, he would pull on a string to ring a bell, and the message would be passed on and the servants in charge would flush the water from a higher altitude.) The toilet was also very large, and Shingen wrote letters and worked out his strategies there. (I read one comment saying that the reason why it's so wide is so that it's safer, enemies outside wouldn't be able to reach Shingen even with swords or spears.)
山には常に、草木（臭き）が絶えぬから
Shingen called the toilet a 'mountain' because a mountain always has vegetation (草木; kusaki) and a toilet always has a stench (臭き; kusaki).
3. Kenshin saying that 'the door to nirvana' will open is a terrible joke considering that one of the anecdotes about his death is that he was assassinated in the toilet.
4. I can't find much info about this but apparently Masamune was also fond of spending a long time in the toilet to do his thinking (thinking up new recipes or planning meals). His toilet was large enough to accommodate a sword rack, an inkstone, paper, books and an incense burner.
5. Hideyoshi saying that the toilet is 'a great place to socialize' is probably related to the role of the Ornamental Privy (why yes, there is such a thing) in tea ceremonies. Like its name suggests, a privy that's purely ornamental and exists for guests to a tea ceremony to view. The first ornamental privy was made by Sen no Rikyū for Hideyoshi. Apparently it was made for legit privy-related reasons but after it served its purpose, Rikyū started showing it off to guests.
6. Soap was introduced in Japan by western countries during the Azuchi-Momoyama period. The earliest written record that mentioned soap was found in a letter written by Mitsunari and addressed to a Hakata merchant, in which Mitsunari thanked them for the soap. In the letter, soap was written as 志也保牟 (read as shabon), which was probably derived from the Portugese word for soap, sabao.
7. Yamanaka Shikanosuke is a fairly important NPC in the Mōri story path in SW3: Empires. He was captured and imprisoned by Motonari's son during one of the battles that took place from his efforts to revive the Amago clan. According to some historical records, he went to the toilet many times due to dysentery and eventually escaped when the guards were careless.
