  • Toguro: (referring to Genkai) She's as I remember. After watching that exhibition Karasu, tell me Genkai is not worthy of her legend. She makes tactics useless. The only way to crush her is absolute force! edit »

  • Hiei: Apparently Shishi had a lot more energy than we first gave him credit for.
    Kurama: Had is right. Little good it's doing him now that Genkai's claimed it.
