- Yusuke Urameshi: Kurama, how terrible is that wound?
- Youko Kurama: Fine, as long as I can walk.
- Jaganshi Hiei: He'll survive but he's in no shape to fight. That means we have only three fighters left, and one of them is worthless.
- Kazuma Kuwabara: Hey, don't be so hard on yourself, short-stuff.
- Yusuke Urameshi: Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but I think he meant you.
- Koenma: Wow. Kuwabara has greatly increased his powers, and no one even had to force him. Maybe I'll get rid of the smart-mouth and let HIM be Spirit Detective.
- [Kuwabara shows off his new and advanced spirit sword]
- Kazuma Kuwabara: I don't gotta use the tip of that sword to make it work anymore. It's just my pure energy, and I bet it can kick the crap out of you spirit gun.
- [Yusuke flips him the bird]
- Yusuke Urameshi: That depends on what finger I use.
- Jaganshi Hiei: You really think you can beat him?
- Kazuma Kuwabara: Well, of course, half-pint. In fact, I'm not scared at all.
- Yusuke Urameshi: So I guess your legs are shaking out of eagerness?
- [Kuwabara takes a stand before Byakko alone]
- Byakko: Oh, please! I can't stay angry if you make me laugh.
- Kazuma Kuwabara: I'm serious. Come down here so I can knock your lights out.
- Byakko: Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Stop it. I can tear you into little pieces with nothing but the hairs on my mane.
- Jaganshi Hiei: He has no strategy. He's just swinging his sword with the grace of a flyswatter. That's no way to survive.
- Jaganshi Hiei: Try looking closely at the two fighters. Judging from the attacks, Kuwabara's obviously had the upper hand, but by the looks of them it's as if Kuwabara's the one taking all the blows.
