Yoh Asakura quotes from Shaman King (newest)

Yoh Asakura: Grandpa used to say it. Human beings are like cancer cells. They greedily devour the cells around them and make them into their own kind. And then, they destroy themselves along with the person that's hosting them.

Yoh Asakura: Don't fixate on what's in the past. Or else you'll get caught out by the changing situation.

Yoh Asakura: There's always been something about swans that's fascinated me.

Yoh Asakura: Grudges, huh? Who has the time to hang on to those forever? It's better just to forget about them.

Bason: Tao En is a profoundly cautious man. So why is nobody around?
Yoh: Maybe they're all napping. I mean, I always take a nap around this time of day.

Yoh Asakura: At the start, everything was pitch black. All kinds of thoughts came into my head. The more I thought, the worse it got. But then I stopped thinking. I realized all I could do was keep pressing forward. Then things would work out somehow, sometime!

Yoh Asakura: Everyone dies, sooner or later. That's why we don't live to live a long life. We live to die properly.

Yoh: Wake us up so we don't oversleep, okay, Amidamaru?
Amidamaru: Glad to be of service after so long.
Ren: Bason. I don't trust him on his own.
Bason: Your old faithful Alarm Bason, my liege.

Yoh Asakura: It's easy to love. The hard thing is to accept it.

Yoh Asakura: The Shaman Fight is a battle of mental strength. If you fight in a way that means you have hesitation in your heart you'll never beat me.

Yoh Asakura: This has nothing to do with grudges or beliefs... We're fighting for the sake of fighting!

Yoh Asakura: What is this? It's so bitter!

Yoh Asakura: I forgot that I started training in the first place to become the Shaman King. I guess at some point, I started training just for the sake of training.

Yoh Asakura: When you get angry, you don't see what's going on around you. So don't get mad.

Yoh Asakura: You get what you give.

Lyserg: I'm going to help Ryu!
Yoh: Forget it. If you get your angel out, they won't get out of this unscathed. Then someone else will come along to get even. It will never end.

Ren: I'm sure you feel good for saving me, but as far as I'm concerned, this is just one more thing I owe you for.
Yoh: But if you died, I could never call those favors in.

Yoh Asakura: No one can predict the future, so it's pointless to fear the unknown.

Yoh Asakura: It's tough having lots of things that are important to you. And sometimes, when you want something, you have to give up something else. What matters is your heart.

Yoh Asakura: It's fine. He just chose the option that made the most sense to him right now. We can't pretend to understand the sadness inside of him. So he sought out friends who could. If he feels at home with them, I'm happy for him.

Yoh Asakura: Right or wrong, people are free to make their own choices. But when you kill someone, choice goes out the window.

Manta: I look pretty rough, don't I? I can't believe I'm going to die looking like this...
Yoh: Don't be silly! If you die, I... I... I'll make you my Spirit Ally!
Manta: You idiot!

Yoh: I haven't seen Ren look like he's having such a good time in ages. It's cute when he gets like this.
Anna: "Cute"?

Yoh Asakura: I thought I told you not to kill anyone! Killing people because they're a nuisance makes you no different from Hao!

Yoh Asakura: The reason I lost to Faust was because I forced myself. I hate forcing myself to be something I'm not. Losing sight of who I am is what really scares me. Because when that happens, I have no idea what I should do and what I must not do.

Yoh Asakura: I don't force myself. That's why it's not hopeless.

Yoh: Is it just me, or are you a little taller than you were before?
Ren: Of course, I am! I drink three glasses of milk a day!

Yoh Asakura: Sure, maybe I am a bit too carefree. But rather than being afraid of a future which I don't even know what will happen in, I think it's much more valuable to think about what's important right now. Well, that's just my naïve outlook at present, anyway.

Yoh Asakura: What I want is to listen to my favorite music every day and live an easy life.
