Otherwise:

"Forward!"

Start of battle:
- When attacking a castle:

"Our pride will not permit defeat!"

When defending a castle:

"On my honor, you will be stopped!"

During battle:

"I shall win, even if I am the last one standing! That is the very strength on which my clan prides itself!"

When ordering to attack:

"<Move's name>! Do it!"

When ordering to go to battle:

To a kingdom:

"Let us stake our reputation on our victory!"

"We shall succeed, whomever our enemies may be."

After winning a battle:

If she attacked a castle:

"<kingdom's name> shall never be yours as long as I draw breath!"

When defeated:
- If recruitable:

If defeated by something other than the enemy:

"Huh?!"

Otherwise:

"Gah... I never thought you'd let them get the better of you, <Pokémon's name>."

When being recruited:

"Henceforth my strength lies with you."

No:

"I see."

When returning from a training trip:

"Here I am. The trip was good for me. It seems that <Pokémon's name> also grew stronger."

At the start of Blowing in the Wind:

"You will not actually be doing battle for the castles. It is merely a kind of game... But this does not mean that defeat will be tolerated! You understand, don't you, Muneshige?"

At the end of Blowing in the Wind:

"Well, well. I did not expect such success, I must say."

"Such insolence! I am the only Warlord around here!"

"The...world? I will not be taken in by such ridiculous talk!"

Trivia

In Japanese history, Tachibana Ginchiyo's father, Tachibana Dōsetsu, gained the epithet "Thunder God" (雷神 Raijin) after surviving being struck by lightning (described in myth as Dōsetsu having cut in two the thunder god inside the lightning with his sword, Chidori). Ginchiyo's Electric-type specialty and status as Warlord of Ransei's Electric-type kingdom is a reference to this relation.

Historical origin

Ginchiyo is based on the real-life Tachibana Ginchiyo of Japanese history. Muneshige was her husband and Dōsetsu (Tachibana Dōsetsu) was her father. The Tachibana served as retainers to the Ōtomo clan, which included Sōrin (Ōtomo Sōrin). Her father-in-law, Shōun (Takahashi Shōun), was also a retainer of the Ōtomo.
