Hikaru no Go Season 1 quotes

Hikaru

If you're giving up you're supposed to say "I resign".

Yuki Mitani

I'm a lot stronger than you'll ever be! You shouldn't let one little compliment go to your head!

Hikaru

Handicap or no handicap, I just won the last game.

Hikaru

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

Sai

We have to play the game right now!

Hikaru

So are you going to tell me why I'm here?

I want to see how strong you really are.

You better start chasing after him. Toya's getting farther and farther away from you. He officially becomes a pro next spring and he's sure to advance faster than anyone else. If you wait until then it'll be too late. If you don't put your all into it right now, you'll never catch up to him.

Hikaru just told us that he's going to be taking the Insei exam.

Kaga

Well I'm impressed. The Insei test is tough but you gotta go for it.

Kaga

You decided to go after Akira huh? He won't be easy to catch so you can't let anything distract you. You do know that right?

Hikaru

Yeah I guess.

Kaga

Think you can predict who's gonna win this match?

Hikaru

You are.

Kaga

Good for you kid. You've figured out how to count as you play now.

Kaga

It's like I said, playing a simultaneous game is a whole lot different from playing a regular game.

Hikaru

Am I really good enough to pass the Insei test?

Kaga

Even I couldn't answer that question.

Yuki Mitani

I hope you fail that dumb test.

Kaga

[hits him] You're such a baby! When is your whining ever gonna stop?

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.

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.

Kuwabara

Did you get a good night's sleep? You well rested? [Ogata glares at him]

[to Kuwabara] Time for the new generation to take its place.
