"Dragon Ball grew to have more and more muscular characters. I actually regret not having studied muscle models back then, but I still haven't gotten around to it... I thought too much about how the muscles looked [stylistically], so if you look at them as real muscles, it isn't accurate."

"...an action-packed tale told with rare humor and something even rarer—a genuine sense of adventure."

"Chi has been used in China since ancient times, but it's supposed to be formless and invisible. However, in manga, in order to make it easier for any reader to grasp, it was necessary to give it a shape. For the kamehameha, I myself did a lot of the different poses and chose the one that I thought would work the best."

"Kimihiro Watanuki: You're gonna burn in the flames of the hell I'll make for you!!! [to Doumeki]"

"So now that you have chosen your future, it is the time to live it."

"The best tools in life you have are action and sincerity. Whether you quit a bad habit or begin a good one, commitment to that decision is everything. ~~ Vol. 2"

"Any prediction true or false should not be made likely. It can still alter a persons path."

"Sincerity and determination... no matter what a person wants to attempt, those are needed. ~~ Vol. 1"

"Learn to make your own decisions instead of relying on others to make them for you. Otherwise, those decisions will never really be made."

"If he wasn't here... if nobody but Syaoran existed in this world, would his parents not have died? That thought and regret beckoned spirits to that child, making him choose an unhappier path. ~~ Chapter 168"

"There is only one possible past for us. But there can be an infinite number of futures."

"Our relationship has already been formed. No matter how trivial a meeting and the incidents that follow may seem a relationship is made even if it is just for a short amount of time. A knot has been tied does not unravel. It means that during your lifetime, every incident that passes has a meaning. The meeting between you and I also has a meaning, so I’ll remember it."

"It’s okay to be angry. If a person sacrifices himself to save another, then that person should know just what kind of scars that action leaves on the rescued person. ~~ XXXHoLic Vol. 7 pg. 49"

"Wishes.. Surely, if you keep wishing, they'll come true. That's how strong the power of people's wishing is. But, if you wish for someone's unhappiness, you'll also become unhappy, proportionally to the strength of the wish. Those who feel they are unhappy now, are bitter towards someone and wish for someone's unhappiness. ~~ Chapter 156"

"Family is other people. No matter how close your blood relationship is…no matter what your relationship may be…anyone other than you is not you! And so you have to think it over and decide for yourself! Take away other people’s wants and needs, and decide if this is something that is necessary for you! It may cause hardships to others…but you want it. That’s your free will right there! But you ignore that and decide based on someone else’s advice, because decency demands it, because people say it’s awful, you will fail to quit. No one could succeed that way! You don’t understand what you’re trying to do. With that as your background, how do you expect to make a promise to yourself? But the opposite way…there are risks there, too, of course. If you decide to take the action that best suits you, there will be people who won’t understand…people will be saddened by your actions. ~~XXXHoLic Vol. 1 pg. 146-147"

"If you wish for revenge, an equally hard blow will be dealt back to yourself. ~~ Chapter 156"

"この世界には偶然なんてないわ。あるのは必然だけ。"

"The staff Watanuki found before was a mere replica. But this one here is the one and only "Star Staff". The price paid by Sakura [Kinomoto]-chan, true inheritor to the magic woven by Clow. ~~ Chapter 167"

"Sincerity with respect to yourself! No matter what your objective… no matter who you are… if you are going to do something or not do something, that is a promise to yourself. And the one who keeps the promise, or breaks the promise, is you. No one else can be burdened with holding you to a promise that’s made to yourself. ~~XXXHoLic Vol. 1 pg. 145"

"Likewise, both Syaoran and Watanuki differed in name and appearance. It was as their parents wished it... in order to avoid erasing either of the two... Syaoran [Li] changed his face, and even his family name. Through that name, this child [Watanuki] was kept hidden. ~~ Chapter 167"

"Kanzaki: Every now and then there are nights when I feel so lonely... and depressed. I wonder why someone like me was born into this world. I even wish I could vanish from this world... and pretend that I never existed... Onizuka: Stand up, Kanzaki. When I get negative thoughts like that, it usually means I'm hungry."

"(Angry) That Onizuka..."

"What do you mean when you were talking about the autistic girl earlier?"

"Uwaa.. will my salary this month are finished to treat this good-for-nothing Onizuka?"

"I envy you because you can easily forget your troubles and sadness."

"Thug: You're Yakuza, aren't you? What "family" are you with? Onizuka: Class 2-C, idiot."

"ON... ON... ON... ON... ON... ON... ON... ON... ON... ONIZUKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

"My Cresta, my home, my family, my daughter..."

"I believe that anyone who draws has a desire to attract people with their art, but this is an ambition that I had suppressed for a long time. This is because back when I had just had my debut, my editor at the time had shown me a manga page by Hagiwara Kazushi (BASTARD!!). I felt that if I were honest with myself, my art would never be able to compete with something like this. But I was never able to throw away my ideal of being able to draw manga without help from other people. A few times during the run of YYH, I finished my manuscripts all by myself. All of these instances were when my stress levels were at their highest. I don't know if anyone will understand, but when I was stressed because I wasn't satisfied with my manga, the only way for me to relieve this stress was to draw all my manga by myself. As a result, those chapters ended up horrible. Both the characters and the backgrounds were messy. The one shot Two Shots, Karasu vs. Kurama, Yusuke vs. Sensui, the scene where Yusuke meets Raizen, I drew most of those alone. The latter two were finished in half a day before my deadline, as a reader guessed and criticized in a letter. This might mean I fail as a professional, but I was satisfied. I had already started to think that no matter what anyone says, no matter how messy the finished pages are, I just wanted to draw this by myself, and I had no reason not to go through with it. It saddens me to say this, but I had explored every possible direction for the YYH characters that I could in the context of a professional publication. All I could do at this point was to start deconstructing the characters, or go on repeating the same storylines over and over until the readers got bored. My attempts to deconstruct the characters were, of course, turned down by Jump. I didn't have the strength, physically and mentally, to keep doing the same thing over and over."
