- Yusuke Urameshi: Okay, you're a great lawnmower. Does this have a point or are you just bragging?
- Genkai: You're not hard to read by now, dimwit. I know your crabby-ass jokes are your way of admitting I'm far more powerful than you. "The point" is that you can have this power for yourself.
- Genkai: In order to gain my power you must be willing to take away my life.
- Yusuke Urameshi: [in stunned disbelief] I'm sorry. What did you say?
- Genkai: It's the only way, slacker. Are you ready to kill me or not? I'm going to be waiting for you in a cave. Come and find me when you've made up your mind.
- Kazuma Kuwabara: You know, you could have knocked, Botan. We're discussing important business here.
- Botan: Oh? And how do you explain the cards in your hand?
- Kazuma Kuwabara: I guess YOU'VE never seen a mobster movie.
- Botan: Let's just have some fun, okay?
- Kazuma Kuwabara: Okay!
- Shizuru Kuwabara: That's right, baby brother. It might be your last night in the living. Enjoy yourself. I won't tell Mom if you drink your first beer.
- Kazuma Kuwabara: Gosh darn it, Shizuru. You always gotta embarrass me in front of my friends.
- Genkai: To be brutally honest you shouldn't be ready for this until another ten years of my training, even IF you DID come to me with unusual talent. It's a secret of my power - Spirit Wave Orb. For years I toiled with this creation - energy of the spirit and of the body concentrated into the smallest space. It is both part of and separate from me, and it could power a whole city block. Your test is to incorporate this into your own body and hope it doesn't tear you apart. The agony of this absorption is beyond words. It could go on for hours or days. If your body can not handle it, you will be eaten away from the inside out. And the only thing you will pray for is a quicker death.
- Yusuke Urameshi: Well, Hell, if it's gonna be that exciting, I might as well order TWO of 'em.
- Koto: That's right, you pain enthusiasts, the semi-finals of the Dark Tournament are poised to begin. For reasons I can't talk about, I've been moved out of the ring and into this measly broadcasting booth. Not that I'm bitter, of course.
- Koto: What magnificent images of destruction and misery must be swimming through these competitor's heads as they stare down their enemies in the ring. But as the countdown approaches zero, Yusuke and the masked fighter have still not entered the stadium, leaving their teammates mismatched three to five. Does this mean the controversial demons, Hiei and Kurama, will each have to fight twice to keep their team alive.
- Kazuma Kuwabara: What's THAT supposed to mean? I said I'm takin' them all myself!
- Shishiwakamaru: Huh! I thought we agreed on a good fight. What has happened to the rest of your team?
- Kazuma Kuwabara: Oh, they just said you guys weren't worth the time.
- Kuro Momotaro: You're a hasty one, aren't you, boy. I take it you are fighting first.
- Hiei: That's right I am. First, last, and only. I've been under too much stress lately. Killing you all should be a good remedy.
- Hiei: Your whole nervous system - it leaves much to be desired.
- Kazuma Kuwabara: Hair and gum seems dangerous to me.
