- [the match begins with Kurama standing but unconscious]
- Bakken: Not much of a challenge for me. I like that.
- Koto: Stop! I'm all for extreme pain and torture, you disgusting horse, but this guy's not even awake to enjoy it.
- [Risho forbids Bakken from killing the unconscious Kurama]
- Risho: It's clear Yusuke cares more about that demon's life than this tournament. He's ready to fight every apparition in this stadium if he must. We need to win, not be involved in a revolt.
- Additional Voices: Have you forgotten you're trapped inside my force field?
- Genkai: Drop the act, Ruka. You've already realized you can't keep us in here for much longer. Our powers are returning, and yours will stay as meager as always.
- Bakken: What's so funny? Have I knocked you witless?
- Yusuke Urameshi: I'm laughing 'cause I'm relieved. You had me worried when you were punching Kurama, but now that I know how soft your fists are I feel a lot better.
- Yusuke Urameshi: Lemme explain what's about to happen. You basically have two real options here: You can either turn around and have me beat the crap out of you, or you can get on your hands and knees and start begging - and maybe, just maybe, I'll listen.
- Bakken: You dirty little son of a bi...!
- [punch]
- Koto: I think it's clear what that huddled-over pose means. I only wish everyone in the audience could have heard those cracking bones.
- Yusuke Urameshi: Damn, I missed a few. You know, those lower ribs are harder to reach.
- Bakken: Just have some mercy on me.
- Yusuke Urameshi: Right, mercy, like the way you kept beating Kurama when he was laid out on the floor.
- Yusuke Urameshi: How you doin'?
- Kurama: I'll survive. Sorry I couldn't finish the first three of them as I planned.
- Yusuke Urameshi: Shut up. How are the wounds?
- Kurama: My injuries from Team Masho are nothing compared to this death plant. It will take a great deal of energy and concentration to remove. I suppose we really do reap what we sow, right?
- [the boistrous crowd resumes its chant of "Kill Yusuke."]
- Jin: [with a thick Irish accent] Damn it. I can't believe the ruckus they're washin' up. You can't even make a thought. Of course I wouldn't mind if it weren't for the ears.
- Yusuke Urameshi: Huh?
- Jin: [indicates his own ears] See, they're all pointy, up and wigglin' unlike they were before. Gettin' that way when I'm happy or excited and I haven't been either in a very long time. But saw Biggy flyin' up all the way high and past. Voooo! Almost lost it. What? Di'n cha hear me? I'm talkin' 'bout the way ya knocked away Bakken's fog and then took him for a first-class ride on your fists, you know. I never did like that guy, and the wind around his pores was pretty stinky. Actually, I'm kinda glad you waxed him. Oh! Don't tell Risho I told you that.
- Yusuke Urameshi: You're a crazy bastard, you know that? You went and got me all in a good mood and I was about to use my anger at Bakken to pound you into the ground.
- Jin: Nah, don't lump me in with Biggy. He was just a jerk. Goin' in, barin' a grudge, is no way to start a fight, so it says. You'll never get any cheerin' up that way. Just good old fight-to-find-the-strongest-guy is all.
- Yusuke Urameshi: Here we go, Jin. I can't say my ears are pointing up, but I'm looking forward to this challenge.
- Jin: That's the spirit. Let's have some fun, then!
- Jin: So this is what the wind in the big bright and open feels like, huh? I always wanted to know.
