- Ringo: That's the sound of the Gion Shoja temple bells.
- Boss: What?
- Ringo: You know, those Heike and Genji boys. On a distant island, these to clans split into the Reds and the Whites. Waged a war. Sort of like that, uh, War of the Roses, ya know? In England?
- Boss: Who won? The Whites?
- Ringo: This high noon battle was waged in Dannoura. Hear the Heike clan in red got themselves hog-tied by the Genji clan in white. Their story goes a little something like this.
