Option 1: “I Was Following Orders”

Having taken this class, Yasuke explains that he acted according to his instructions and was a responsible samurai. This, however, is not impressive to Ibuki. In his eyes, this answer is a cop-out, not true responsibility, and shows that Yasuke has yet to accept what occurred in the past. Even though Ibuki still volunteers his help with the mission, the session is strained.

Option 2: “I Have Changed”

Choosing this exchange portrays a more reflective Yasuke. He states that he is no longer the same man who had battled the Iga and vows that he no longer thinks of them as foes. This candour moves Ibuki and confirms that human beings change.
