You are an insect, without a will of your own, who has given the Spirit’s precious gifts to another, and has ceased to think. But if you would stone me because someone else has ordered it, then you are an insect. I will shed blood in equal measure to that which is flowing in your heart. The freedom to choose also belongs to you, as a human. The Red Scholar: Throw them if you wish! Perhaps you must, to protect yourself and your family in this cold world. Messenger: Stone this heretic whore! What are you doing? Anyone who refuses to stone her is an enemy of the Church! No matter how much pain they bring, I won’t return to that haze of darkness. I will never surrender those treasures again. (Another interruption by the Messenger) I am human. The Spirit’s gifts are holy treasures! Not even the King, or the church, can take them from you. So don’t relinquish that, just to make things easier. She gave us the freedom to keep trying to be better, every day. The Spirit did not create us as perfectly good. And with her soul’s fragments, she brought us freedom! The freedom to do better than you do now. And with the earth’s blessings, she brought us wealth. Everyone, you must never stop wishing, hoping, thinking, and working! With her miracles, the Light Sprit brought life to humanity. As a human…As one to whom Winter’s Passage Village has given so much…I speak to my brethren. The Red Scholar: It doesn’t matter whether I’m a heretic. That is proof that you are human, the Light Spirit’s beloved children.Įven as others try to rob you of your freedom and dignity, Have you ever felt a warmth in your heart? Like the summer sun on your cheeks, and when you close your eyes, you can still feel its blessings? Do you even find happiness in simply acts of kindness. You’re just an insect, less than human.” That is why I must declare that I am a human because I believe the first step to being human is to say you are. “The blood in your veins is that of a filthy serf. I must reject it because of all it’s done for me. For so long, fate was warm and kind to me, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.” But everyone: Nobles! Soldiers! Pioneers! And serfs! I must reject it, even after all it’s done for me. It always seemed like fate, but something troubled me. Only my sister and I survived.Īnd then, while we were on the run, we were given a chance.
On a clear winter morning, my youngest brother went cold, and failed to wake from his slumber.
One night, the land owner summoned my sister and she never returned. I was the third of seven siblings my brother broke his arm on the fields, weakened, and was left to die. The Red Scholar: I… as one who has a soul like your own, I have something I must tell you.
ANIME1 KORRA BOOK 3 CODE
This speech is buoyed by Koshimizu Ami’s (Holo in Spice and Wolf, Kallen in Code Geass, Ryuko in Kill la Kill, etc.) Tomatsu Haruka (Rukino Saki in Valvrave, Nagi in Kannagi, Morgiana in Magi and others) strong delivery and the very fitting music, but I even sent it to a professor of mine when we discussed the concept of how speeches affect us, via their delivery or their content – I think it’s a rare speech where the content is powerful on its own (although that does require some knowledge of the sort of fantasy-medieval religion and life depicted in it) – all the things around it lend it more power, but it’s quite powerful on its own.Īnd here is a transcript of the speech, but really, you should watch it: I didn’t cry hard when I’ve watched this speech, any of the times, as had happened when I had to release some emotions, such as when I’ve rewatched the end of Legend of Korra S1, or when I’ve watched the tachikomas sing at the end of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex’s 2nd Gig, but I teared up, and more each time I’ve watched this sequence, including for the sake of this write-up. Just how good is this speech? After seeing Armin’s ridiculous speech in Shingeki no Kyojin I had to go and watch this speech to see a speech done right, where the emotions are conveyed by more than just a character shouting. I heartily recommend this show, which I wrote an editorial about – the speech is good on its own, better after you watch the show, and the show is worth watching. You can watch the speech here, it does omit what others do and say afterwards, but this is the important bit.
“I am human!” – A moment of triumph of the human spirit.
