We could. If you concentrate, you can bypass the translation.
Konnichiwa. Namae wa Oda Nobunaga: maou to Unifier no Nippon. Watashi no sewa o shite kurete arigatou.
Or my favorite: wakarimasen. Means: I don't understand. I feel like I say that a lot. English is very strange to me. "Soka" in Japanese gets translated about 14 different ways. The same word. Why is that? Sometimes it's, "I see." Or "Understood?" Or, "Is that so?" Or "right." I guess it doesn't have a direct translation in English, but why not? And I have no one to ask. Natsuno Yuuki probably doesnt care.
"Wow," in English I just hate. In Japanese it's "Sugoi." So I have to fiddle with it like, "Impressive! Quite impressive!" But if I don't remember to do so, it sounds all pop and wrong. Wow. [Says it sarcastically that time.] And there's no dictionary so I have to rely on others to be my guide.
Kichou is not enough of a masochist to deal with me, alas. [Wow, he made that sound 500 times worse than it already is!!!] He's one of the most brilliant men in the world of our time. Maybe even of human history to our point. I don't know why he changed, he wouldn't tell me, there wasn't enough trust, surely. [He closes his eyes, thinking, remembering. Hard mode, Kichou's route isn't out yet, and Nobunaga doesn't know that Kichou time traveled.]
All of us hated the wars, wanted everyone to stop wasting their lives, throwing them away to gods who don't give a damn about them, if they even exist at all. This, I am sure of. [So how did Kichou start courting anarchy and pirates?] I think he grew to fear that a Unified Japan might bring more death than not. That tyranny under Oda, my rule, would be just as bad or worse than everyone continuing to fight. But I do not know how, how i failed him. [That's a genuinely sad note. If he knew how to heal Kichou's heart, he would.]
[And Nobunaga snaps out of it with a soft laugh when she finishes.] All women, divided because... it is the most divisive. [Another laugh and he holds his hand up, shaking his head.] That's a bad joke, sorry. It is... multi-faceted. The monks believe women's role is family, raising the children. Kichou and I hate the castes more than anything. I think he often feared, perhaps, I hated the waste of life more than the castes, or maybe now that I think of it, maybe it's vice versa. One of my greatest fears would be a future where the castes harden even more, where that bucket the crabs are trapped in truly becomes impenetrable. By using an only woman faction, Kichou sought to undeniably prove women's place on the battlefield, and make it so they aren't beholden to others for their safety.
The problem is... in not allowing for others' safety.
Brothels -- do you have those? They look after their girls well, they have to, of course. But the freedom is so restricted. Almost nonexistent. And there is no way to ensure it's always a personal choice. Luis Frois was always trying to help me with this puzzle. How to allow women freedom without the monks banning such things, but make it truly free, not something they are forced or coerced into either. It is the same with war. None us want the wars, so allowing even more participants runs a great risk of counterproductive effects.
Cw: castes, gendered politics in sengoku era wars, brothels ya
