Need someone here fluent in Japanese to translate this quote by Yamamoto for me into Japanese, I could just use an online translator but I want it done properly.. its a long story.

“Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.”

If you translate this back into Japanese it will turn out a bit odd, especially if you get a foreigner to do it!

This is the original, as far as I can tell. It might be a modern Japanese version of the older text.

その場でうまくいかなかったら、後でやり返せばよい。これには知恵も業もいらない。剛勇の者というのは勝敗など考えないで、しゃにむに死に物狂いにぶつかるだけである。これでこそ、夢から覚め、いっさいがふっきれるのである。
