Waya quotes from Hikaru no Go

Waya

The whole world is looking for Sai and nobody can find him.

Waya

How could I have missed it? Can he come back from here? No! It's impossible!

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.

Hikaru

[watching a replay of Akira playing a throw in] Whoa! He played there?

Waya

Yeah. Then white captured instead of cutting. The Oza's not taking any chances in this game. He's being real cautious.

Hikaru

I remember sensei being impressed with how I played 3 games at once. Maybe I play better this fast. Whoa, I won by a half a point! That's 2 wins in a row now.

No need to rub it in.

Hikaru

Sorry.

Waya

I resign.

Sai

You did it, Hikaru.

Hikaru

That's 3 straight wins. It was great. I thought I was on my way. But then I lost game after game and started to wonder if I was getting worse, not better.

Waya

You mean to tell me you've never played against adults in a Go salon?

Hikaru

Not really. I mean I've been to a Go salon, but I kinda just watched.

Waya

Then it'll be like a team competition. You know, us against them.

Isumi

Team competition?

Waya

It'll be way more fun than us playing separately.

Waya

If his stone stays there, he'll win. But if I eliminate it then I win, and I finally pass the pro exam.

Hikaru

Can I do it? Can I stay alive?

Ochi

He asked Shindo if he was missing games because he was sick and offered the chance to take a leave of absence, but he didn't even bother to reply.

Waya

What an idiot.

Ochi

Think he'll quit being a pro?

Waya

I dunno.

Ochi

Looking at him now, it's hard to believe he was Toya's rival.

Waya

Having talent is a waste of time if you don't put it into practice.

Waya

Isumi! You don't look any different. I figured since you were spending all your time training, you'd have grown a beard or something. I was surprised when you called. So how was China? What was it like? What's wrong?

Isumi

Well if it isn't Le Ping! You've grown up fast.

Isumi

Yeah so after that, Le Ping followed me around, wanting to play against me all the time. I guess it was good he was working on his game, but I didn't get much time for myself.

Waya

He was a pest huh?

Isumi

I know he's just a kid, but he's really a strong player. In the end I enjoyed hanging out with him. He sort of became my best friend. once I gave him some Waya medicine.

Waya

Gave him what?

Isumi

You know that special medicine you take whenever you get a stomachache? Well one day Le Ping had a stomachache so I gave him some. I figured he looks exactly like you, so it was bound to work.

Waya

What kind of dumb logic is that?

Isumi

I've been wondering what happened. Is he sick? I mean, I want to see him again before I get started in the pro exams, but I- what is it, Waya?

Waya

This isn't the first time it's happened. He's lost more than once by default. He's lost a lot. It's been like this since May. Careful. I don't know why, but he's completely lost interest in playing Go.
