Yoh Asakura: Is that all?

Mosuke: WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT'S ALL!?

Chapter 3: The Unfinished Billboard

Manta Oyamada: Tests are meant to test your own knowledge. So how can you do them relying on other people!?

Yoh Asakura: What? I want to become a professional shaman so there's nothing wrong with it.

Manta: Professional? Huh?

Yoh: Yeah. It's kind of the same as a professional musician or artist. This is my skill so I should keep using it. I don't really care about tests and all that; as long as I graduate normally it's okay.

Chapter 4: Soul Boxing

Manta Oyamada: Hey, Yoh-kun, what happened to Gushi's ghost in the end?

Yoh Asakura: Ran away. I did.

Yoh: [Battered and bruised] I don't like boxing, it's too painful. I don't like painful things.

Chapter 5: Samurai Bodyguard

Manta Oyamada: Have you thought about what it'll be like having a ghost around all the time?

Yoh Asakura: What do you mean? It's a good thing. In the morning, he can wake me up by paralyzing me.

Manta: Paralysis!?

Yoh: If I get lost, he can navigate for me from above.

Manta: Be-because he's a ghost...

Yoh: I don't need to be afraid of hoodlums at all.

Manta: Be-because he's a samurai...

Yoh: On top of that, if I'm afraid to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, he can go with me.

Manta: Ehhhh! BUT ISN'T HE A GHOST!?

Chapter 6: Another Shaman

Yoh Asakura: You start fights with people, and then all of a sudden, you tell me to give you Amidamaru?

Yoh: NO! Amidamaru is my friend! You can't just treat him like some object!

Tao Ren: You're saying you'd just cast aside your spirit!?

Yoh Asakura: If the only other option is to let him become your "tool"... then absolutely yes.

Chapter 9: The Shaman King

[Yoh refuses to grow up to be a shaman.]

Yohmei Asakura: So... What do you want to do in the future?

Yoh Asakura: Well... Every day, I want to listen to my favorite music! And live free of worries!

Yohmei: IDIOT!!

Chapter 10: Shaman Ambition

Anna Kyoyama: Because I aim to be the First Lady of the shaman world... You will become Shaman King, whether you want to or not.
