Hao Asakura quotes from Shaman King (by release date)

Hao: I only want to talk.
Ren: I'll pass. You're full of crap.

Hao Asakura: If you don't want to lose anything, just don't fight in the first place.

Hao Asakura: You happened to run into me because just like me, you were on the battlefield. The battlefield, where death upon death gives birth to a never-ending cycle of hatred.

Hao Asakura: That's reality for you. You can't be surprised by anything happening at any time in this world. Nothing is unfeasible. Anyone, however important, can die from the slightest thing. And no matter how hard you've worked, it can all come to nothing, just like that. Then there are those who never lift a finger but are content for life thanks to the dumb luck they were born with. Doesn't it seem so stupid to deal with that with full sincerity? That's why in the end, it doesn't matter.

Hao Asakura: My head is always filled with thoughts I'd rather not know. Like those of that traitor, Peyote... So none of that business came as a surprise to me. I knew he was just going through the motions. I could see what was going on inside his head. But it wasn't just him. They were all afraid of me. I felt betrayed from the start.

Hao: The Continent of Mu.
Horohoro: Is he stupid?
Hao: Before that, you just thought that I was stupid.
Horohoro: No, I didn't! Yes, I did...
Hao: "Yes, I did..." As you well know, I can read minds. So it's probably for the best if you don't think anything too bad. Or else, I'll reveal the name of the girl you have a crush on.
Horohoro: I'm sorry!

Hao Asakura: Tell me, how is your first taste of death? Surprisingly easy, isn't it? Death always has been and always will be inevitable. There is no one who feels the slightest bit of pain in death itself. The pain only exists in how the soul is, how it lives, and how it dies, you see.
