Katsujinken ~ Nen wa Ken Yori mo Tsuyoshi ~ (活人剣 ～念は剣よりも強し～), roughly translated as "Sword of Justice ~Heart is Stronger than the Sword~", is a Samurai Warriors character image song which can be found on Gekika Ougi. It's a solo song performed by Hiromu Miyazaki for Munenori Yagyū, his main character in the series.
Katsujinken is Munenori's historical philosophy of a sword that is meant to protect life rather than to take it.

- 泰平の時代の 足音が聞こゆる
- 己ゝ是を知るべし
- 刀を振り回す 乱世は過ぎ去りで
- 剣はいずれ 無用となりゆく
- 人を活す為 使わば
- 剣は 人を鍛えゆく
- 念（こころ）に勇気を蓄えて歩く為
- 平らかな明日を
- 高らかに念じて
- 拙者は慎ましく生きよう
- 丸腰で正々堂々
- 誰しもが威風堂々と
- 歩む未来がいつか来る（きたる）と信じて
- 幼少のみぎりも 剣をただ学びて
- 拙者は味気なき者
- ざれども新しき 天下を待ち望む
- いずれ武器が 飾りとなる日を
- 人を磨く為 ありせば
- 是れ「剣の道」となる
- 武士とは誰かを斬る為 在るに非ず
- 時は今来たりと
- 誰も皆 気づけと
- 拙者が説き伏せに参ろう
- 丸腰で一刀両断
- 此れにては一件落着
- 平和なる日を 道の彼方に見据えて
- 平らかな明日を
- 高らかに念じて
- 拙者は慎ましく生きよう
- 丸腰で正々堂々
- 誰しもが威風堂々と
- 歩む未来がいつか来る（きたる）と信じて

- With one twist of my sword, the wars vanish
- Someday swords will become obsolete
- If used to enrich a person's life
- a sword can help train their heart
- and give them the courage to keep moving
- Yearning for
- a peaceful tomorrow,
- I seek to live humbly
- I'll be just to the innocent
- and treat everyone fairly
- while believing that future I walk will someday come true
- I did constant sword training when I was younger too
- I'm no different than any of them
- Even so, I still wait for a new land,
- for the days when swords will become props
- If there's a reason why we haven't progressed,
- I would say it's the "way of the sword"
- No samurai should keep the excuse to kill another person on the spot
- I was persuaded to fight
- in order to someday realize the age
- that everyone wants
- One slice of my fearless resolve
- will be all it takes to settle this
- I await the days of peace beyond the road before me
- Yearning for
- a peaceful tomorrow,
- I live humbly
- I'm fair to the innocent
- and don't choose favorites
- I believe the future I walk will come true
