Page 125. Frame 2. Balloon 1. Hikaru (thinking): It's not just that I got caught giving myself a pretend handicap.
126.1.1. Hikaru (thinking): Master Touya also caught a glimpse of Sai's strength.
126.1.2. F/X: D'oh!
126.2.1. Master Touya: During the match, I felt in you a spirit like a veteran of many campaigns.

128.1.1. Touya: He imposed a handicap on himself when he played?
128.2.1. Touya: Why would he do such a thing?
128.2.2. Kuwabara: Ha, ha, ha!
128.3.1. Kuwabara: He's a fascinating fellow, isn't he, this brat named Shindou.
129.1.1. Touya: ...
129.1.2. F/X: (Door) Click.
129.2.1. Touya: I don't understand him.
129.3.1. Touya: I've played him before, two years ago. He felt so strong, as though I were playing Father.
129.4.1. Touya: And yet when I played him half a year later, he was so weak it was like he was a different person.
129.5.1. Kuwabara: Like a different person, hmm...
129.5.2. Kuwabara: Now that's strange, too.
129.6.1. Touya: I haven't come chasing after that weakling, thinking of him as my rival.
130.1.1. Touya: But then that guy
130.1.2. F/X: (Door) Slam.
130.1.3. Touya: Said this to me.
130.2.1. Hikaru (in a flashback): If you keep chasing after a phantom of me
130.2.2. Hikaru (flashback): someday the real me will catch up to you!
130.3.1. Touya: The next time I met him, he was an insei.
130.4.1. Touya: And then now.
130.4.2. Touya: He's shrouded in mystery and playing my father.
131.1.1. Kuwabara: So you're saying that you're the one that made him turn pro.
131.3.1. Kuwabara: Touya... what was your first name?
131.4.1. Touya: It's Akira.
131.4.2. Kuwabara: Akira Touya.
131.5.1. Kuwabara: I'll remember that.
132.2.1. Photographer: Touya-kun.
132.3.1. Touya: ...
132.3.2. Touya: How's everything going over there?
132.4.1. Photographer: Oh, I just wonder what happened to Shindou-kun.
132.5.1. Photographer: He just remains silent, no matter what anyone asks him.
