[ With confidence in his voice, be holds up the carving knife and wields it, almost like it's a proper sword. ]
Sorry, I was never one for fancy speeches; actions speak louder. I have nothing to my name but precious memories and promises to keep. But, I'm still a sword, I'll do my best to not fail my masters, my family, or you, my opponent.
[ Nagasone takes a step and charges at Percival, poised to swing with the strength he can muster. ]
Your death is so my brothers will never have to suffer this ritual! If I'm forced an incentive, I know what I want, and it's their happiness!
[ a laugh escapes his lips. is this the true spirit of a blade? he wonders how ferociously the lohengrin would fight. ] Don't be so certain of your victory just yet.
[ there's a part of him that wishes he still had his fire -- the sight of nagasone amidst his flames would be something to behold, but for the meanwhile he opts to counter his attack. nagasone's carving knife has a good 8 inches on percival straight edge blade, so it can only barely withstand the assault. still, dps will be dps through and through, and he manages to block via the sheer strength of his upper body.
percival is both agile and skilled, but nagasone was born to kill -- his power is insurmountable, beyond the realm of a human being.
and that is the exact reason this battle will not go to percival. ]
And don't go easy on me; make this match worth something.

I'm not; that's why I'll have to make it certain with everything I've got.
[ His movements are controlled but with specific moments where he pushes his immense strength into the blade. Being a samurai is minding timing and opportunity. He thinks of how Urashima fights with his wakizashi self, this is almost a length comparable to it. The first block has him raise an eyebrow, but not out of concern. It's excitement, the rush of adrenaline when there is danger, a force to reckon with. ]
I wouldn't dare, not with how much you're making this worth.
[ That's good. Anyone else would think picking a target who'd fight back is far from ideal, even insane. This is what he wanted though. Working for this death eases the sorrowful reality of this all. Even now it's an instinct of his body to enjoy the clashes of their blades. The times where he falters though, and they exchange cuts to eachother... Nagasone winces, but keeps steady in his stance. ]
You really do fight like a noble... but one that I appreciate in the effort you put forth. Hah!
