"I lifted the sword, felt the dull ache in my wrist, and asked Shiguru's forgiveness. The snake sword leaped and bit, and in it's last act of service to it's owner, released him into the next world (Hearn 252)."
This is the last thing takeo gets to do before he has to follow through with his deal with the tribe. With this, he basically has nothing left. The only thing he cares about is kaede, who he can never have because he must go with the tribe. I think this is one of the hardest things to do, for takeo, because shiguru is his adopted father and the the only family he has. I imagine Takeo will be very sad about this in the future.
1. How will Takeo react to having killed shiguru
2. How will this affect his actions, inthe immediate and eventual future.
