Samurai Equine

So far, no winners. But this week's reference game continues!
Think you can guess the source of the reference? 

The dawning sun lights the way as I dash down the road. The vector of my passion pierces right through my chest.
No matter what kind of danger may come my way...

Let your dreams dance free, here on this planet of ours; and smash the mirror reflecting the world's hatred!
Press towards your dream, no matter how awkward you might be;
And test the limits of your will to live!
