  • "It's possible I might have wavered if this was just about me, but I cannot allow both you and Kanzaki to fall down together with me. I have my responsibility as the head of Akatsuki." (Quarrel Festival)
  • "But now, it's different. It's not a red moon, but a sunrise. A ray of light that declares a new beginning—for everything. You two took the weak moonlight I used to give off and dyed it a beautiful, shining red.
    • I will no longer falter, no longer turn away. With you two, I'm sure we can shine as brightly as the sun." (Quarrel Festival)
  • "Although the thought of skipping work to go and play does sound nice. We’ll also invite the both of you along when that time comes." (Athletics)
  • "This is not the last time that we’ll meet. Our paths will intersect at some point. So I won’t say farewell. See you later." (Athletics)
• re: Kuro
  • "Yeah, I trust you. You're a man who sticks to his morals." (Flower Fes)
  • "You understand. No, you trust." (Scroll of the Elements)
  • ".....I don’t want to see you get hurt, Kiryu." (Four Beasts)

  • "I hope that you will continue to grow at this rate." (Athletics)
  • "I believe in you ♪ " (Athletics)
  • Kuro: That guy—even if it’s a downright lie, he’ll immediately believe it. Especially if it’s coming from you.
    • "Yes. Sometimes I worry. Whether he’ll be okay or not, or if he’s not being deceived by bad guys?" (Hanafuda)
  • "You’re a good kid who’s pure and reckless, and who genuinely believes the words of others, but you’re not stupid." (Hanafuda)

  • "We are Akatsuki, the bond that binds us is stronger than blood, isn't it?" (Quarrel Festival) ⚠ image heavy
  • "Look, we promised not to say that kinda stuff. I joined Akatsuki happily on my own wishes. I love the live shows I perform with you two.
    • And that's why I won't show any mercy to Akatsuki's enemies.
    • I'm here in the first place 'cause my lil' sis loved idols — a pretty damn lighthearted reason. Honestly, it just kinda happened.
    • But y'know? I became your comrades, and we did all these activities together... It stopped being "just that". I truly wanna be an idol for wholeheartedly now.
    • And I can't imagine being with anybody other than you guys. Let's protect Akatsuki." (Quarrel Festival)
  • "Kanzaki, Hasumi... if it looks like you guys're about to fall off, I'll grab you." (Quarrel Festival)
• re: Keito
  • "[...] I’ll be your strength, you know?" (Quarrel Festival) ⚠ image heavy
  • "Despite how things usually seem, I actually rely on you quite a bit." (Quarrel Festival)
  • "Really, Hasumi danna, you just can’t be honest, can you? 'Tsundere,' was it? That might not be entirely wrong, you know……♪" (Opera)
  • "But if you were nothing but a hard-headed, overly serious glasses dude, we wouldn’t have managed to hang out for this long." (Four Beasts)
• re: Souma
  • "Wipe your tears, Kanzaki. You're spoilin' your good looks." (Repayment Fes)
  • "You're gettin' pretty damn fired up, Kanzaki. Well, I guess it's fine — it's pleasant to watch." (Flower Fes)
  • "Thanks, Kanzaki. Your feelin’s are the best sort of healin’ treatment… ♪" (Kabukimono, Chapter 9)
• from: Akatsuki

  • "Of course, I will be happy to stand on the stage with the three of us — nothing will make me happier!" (Repayment Fes)
  • "I do not have the ability to come up with a programme like you, Hasumi-dono, nor do I have the skills to make outfits to the standard of Kiryuu-dono, but I too am a member of 'Akatsuki'.
    • I thought of what I could do, and decided to try jellyfish serapii in the hopes of giving you two a change of pace! Are you feeling better, even in the slightest…?" (Kabukimono, Chapter 9)
  • " (Hasumi-dono and Kiryuu-dono’s dance is beautiful and powerful. I feel as though I will also be captivated like the audience.)
    • (In any case, I cannot pull everyone down with my performance. I shall place my faith in them and follow them wherever they may go. That is the duty of a samurai.) "(Kabukimono, Chapter 10)
  • "That person, as well, made mistakes time and again, failed, and even so he is struggling, trying to move forward. Kiryu-dono, as well, I am sure that he is certainly the same.
    • It is precisely because I have such senpai that I want to serve them, and all. I respect them." (Scroll of the Elements)
  • "Even if you say that, to me, the fact that Hasumi-dono and Kiryu-dono exist is the same as the existence of the land and the sun in this world. I cannot imagine what it will be like when you are gone." (Daikagura)
  • "But today really was a moment of happiness. Hasumi-dono and Kiryuu-dono…… We were able to do a job together with the graduated seniors. It truly felt like a dream." (Athletics)
• re: Keito
  • "So, this is your archery uniform, Hasumi-dono. It suits you well. [...] I did not say that because I wished for a reward, nor did I do it to curry your favour, Hasumi-dono. All I did was genuinely say what was on my mind." (Martial Artist, Individual Training - 3)
  • " Yes! I will be a good boy! So please don't abandon me, Hasumi-dono!
    • I still want to perform together with Hasumi-dono in Akatsuki! I shall seal this sword of mine temporarily!" (Quarrel Festival)

  • "Oh, Hasumi-dono! What good luck! I didn’t expect to be able to spend lunch together!" (Management convo)
  • "If I had the 'reshipi' (recipe) for the hot and sour soup Hasumi-dono is eating I believe I could make it. If that is the case, Hasumi-dono could eat hot and sour soup every day." (Management convo)
• re: Kuro
  • "Your words always have such deep meaning, Kiryuu-dono! That's Akatsuki's second-in-command for you... ☆" (Flower Fes)
  • "It really does give me the peace of mind when Kiryuu-dono is here! I expect nothing less than the backbone of Akatsuki! ♪" (Flower Fes)
  • "It is precisely because we have your thoughtfulness, Kiryu-dono, that we are complete as 'Akatsuki.'" (Scroll of the Elements)
  • "[…] Kiryuu-dono seems like a person that would be loved by animals. It is not unusual that he has become attached to Kiryuu-dono." (Athletics)

  • Tetsu: (I feel like I’ve come to understand just a little Boss’s feelings in following Hasumi-senpai……♪) (Opera)
• re: Kuro
  • Rei: Indeed. Kiryuu-kun is quite reliable. I can see why Hasumi-kun chose to keep you on hand. Surprisingly considerate despite having a boorish appearance…
    • It was worth thrusting your hand into the flames to pick him up, wasn’t it………Hasumi-kun ♪ (Crossroads)
• re: Souma
  • Chiaki: [...] Umm, "Akatsuki's"......?
    • Sorry, I forgot your name. I don't know much aside from the fact that you're the one Kiryuu and Hasumi fawn over. (Wisteria)
