What were the brave warriors of Japan willing to die for according to the opening monologue
From the text:
As we are determined to fight to our deaths; to fulfill our moral obligations to a noble cause [taigi meibun]; and to die for the imperial court; so let your mind be at peace and be prepared to make this castle your [final] resting place. It is vital to bestir yourselves yet even more, and to be resolved not to leave for posterity any cause for shame.
