Sai quotes from Hikaru no Go

Sai

To the gods I offer my gratitude. For once again I can finally, I can finally return to this world.

Sai

[referring to the television Hikaru's watching] Hikaru, what is this device? People are playing Go inside that little box.

Sai

Sometimes Hikaru has an amazing instinct which guides his potential. But just as often his immaturity causes him to play impulsive, disappointing moves.

Sai

We will summon our collective will and win. Wipe the tears from your eyes and focus your mind.

Sai

[referring to Hikaru] I can't believe that he once hesitated because he feared my moves.

Sai

The reason my spirit has endured for a millennium is so I could show Hikaru this one game and guide him toward the divine move.

Hikaru

Who are you?

Sai

I am Fujiwara no Sai.

Sai

There was no such rule during Shusaku's time.

Hikaru

Hmm, it never crossed your mind that black might have an advantage?

Sai

Now that I think about it, I've never lost playing black.

Hikaru

Sai, where were you? Why didn't you say anything? You could've at least told me about the clock. I looked like a fool.

Sai

Regrettably we did not have such things in Shusaku's time.

Hikaru

[referring to his next match with Akira Toya] Sai, you should play him.

Sai

Are you sure? You were so eager to play in this tournament.

Hikaru

He's all yours. Good luck.

Hikaru

Look, it's Zelda! This guy's Japanese! And I think he might even be a kid.

Sai

Is he skilled?

Waya

Who's this Sai?

Hikaru

Well what do you think? Is this guy any good?

Sai

He's strong. Strong as any I've faced.

Sai

So far, this game is exactly like our previous match.

Hikaru

Previous match? It must be him!

Sai

I agree. He's mirrored his opening moves from our second game. Do you remember that day? I struck him down with a single move.

Hikaru

Now we can practice whenever we want to. This is gonna be awesome!

Sai

We have to play the game right now!

Is it true that no one has been teaching you?

Hikaru

Uh well no sir. [To self] Actually I do have a teacher, and he follows me around like a dog.

Sai

What?! Did you just call me a dog?

Sai

A total of four times now.

Hikaru

Yeah, but we've never seen him play anyone else. And now he's playing the Oza! And I'm stuck here!

Sai

Hikaru, Hikaru! Why don't you let me play this game for you? I'll finish it off as quickly as I can so we can go and watch Akira's match.

Hikaru

Don't be silly.
