Jou "Butterfly Joe" Koizumi:
Talented people who know exactly who they are don't seek anything. Those who don't know who they are... They're the ones who struggle hardest to win in order to prove something.

Obaba:
"The winners write history, and the losers are history."

Jou "Butterfly Joe" Koizumi:
You get it, don’t you, Mr. Tsukimoto? That you don’t chase the ball. The ball chases you. You will become stronger. You can feel it, can’t you, Mr. Tsukimoto? You feel the ball chase you! Now, show me what you can do!

Makoto "Smile" Tsukimoto:
Devoting your life to table tennis is nonsense. It’s beyond comprehension.

Ryuuichi "Dragon" Kazama:
You know, Tsukimoto, I hate the way you play. Your technique is magnificent, but it disgusts me to watch you always consider your opponent’s feelings. You are not fit to hold a racket.

Smile:
The hero transcends logic. The hero overturns what we thought we knew and drives away the darkness. He’s so uncomplicated… and he shines, bright and joyous.

Manabu "Demon" Sakuma:
"The only way to be sure you won't lose is to not fight."

Smile:
This palace is quiet and safe. It's relaxing. Someone's coming! It's okay. I'm fine here. I want to stay here.
