You don't know where those hands have been
Something I haven't seen noted in the boards here is Tsubaki's constant habit of rubbing and/or scratching his chest, his stomach, his beard, his head. The hands are always busy. I guess it must be a character trait added by Mifune (or Kurosawa), and it does add to the deceptive humor of the character. Anybody else wonder what's going on with Tsubaki and his hands?
If I had choice of weapons with you, sir, I'd choose grammar.
