"The only person who'll decide my path is ME. Nobody else!"

"Now that one was way too close. Rei, you were an excellent opponent. And I think that now, I'm finally ready for you, Tyson."

"I've traveled a long road to get here Tyson. This is my life's goal. Everything I've seen, everything I've done, it all starts and ends with you. From the first time you defeated me, I've known it. I've watched you grow ever since. Sometimes you won, sometimes you lost. But you always persevered. No matter how bad things got, you always looked deep inside yourself and found the strength to continue. And when a member fell, it was you who was always there to pick him back up. When I realised I could never be like you, the only thing left for me was to defeat you. Only then, would I have complete faith in my own skill and strength, I had no choice but to find a way to win, no matter what the cost to myself."
"That's why I had to leave the team. That's why I joined with Dranzer in the frozen tundra of Russia. And that's why I chose Tala as my partner when he would much rather battle solo. I hid myself away and streamed my isolation. Forced to survive in the most hostile environment I could find. I gave up everything for my own life and dedicated myself to training, in mind and body. To become the ultimate beyblading machine. Sometimes, things got so bad I was ready to throw in the towel. I just pictured you, Tyson, and it all came floating back."

"No way! You can't do that to me! Are you telling me that this whole tournament has just been a complete joke, that everything we've done so far doesn't count because you decided we get punished for working hard?"
"All I'm asking is to decide this in the Beystadium. Winner, if that's what you want, you can have it. All I want is to settle my battl ewith Tyson with Tyson. What about you, Tyson. How do you want to settle this? I can't believe you'd want to leave this as a draw either, especially being the defending champ and all. Well, what do you say?"
"When I battle against you Tyson, it's like I forget where I am because the competiton is so intense. I'm serious. But that doesn't mean I'm just going to lie down and let you win."
"Well. It's not what I wanted but, if I had to lose to anyone, I want it to be Tyson. Way to go buddy. You deserve the win."
"Tyson, just wait until next time."

"Kai. That's my name and I’m a Beyblader, you might think that you are too but you're not. You learned from the best but you forgot one very important lesson, beyblading is not just about overpowering your opponent with fancy moves. That's only part of the game, there’s more to it than that. Much more. And that's why I have something you don't..."
"I've learned from every battle I've ever fought, every friend, enemy and spectator has always had something to offer me, and I'm a student of this game and I always will be, through the hardships of training, the competitions, the wins and the losses, they all taught me something. And I've taken that knowledge and used it to my advantage. That’s why I can say, that I'm a true beyblader. That's what keeps me going and that's my strength."
"I don't think you ever will because you're not a true blader. You have the power and the skill but something's missing from inside of you. You don't have the beyblading spirit!"
"That's why I have to win this battle because beyblading means more to me than you could ever understand. IT'S NOT JUST A GAME TO ME!"
