Quotes

 * (To Chika Amatori) "Get up. It's okay. It was a training accident."
 * (To his allies against Lamvanein) "There's a huge gap in firepower. Don't attack if you don't have to. If we rush into a shooting match, the sheer difference in firepower will wipe us out."
 * (To his allies against Lamvanein) "It's time to capitalize on our numerical advantage. Split up and diffuse his attention. If you stick together, one blast will take you all out."
 * (Commentating during rank battles) "They factored their inability to beat Arafune Unit in a long-range battle into their overall strategy. By choosing this stage and giving Arafune Unit an obvious advantage they created a natural allegiance with Suwa Unit. Tamakoma Second put a lot of thought into this urban battle."
 * (Commentating during rank battles) "This match is over. Tamakoma wins."
 * (Commentating during rank battles) "Since Kodera explained everything, I have nothing left to say."
 * (To Noboru Koarai and Tsuneyuki Okudera) "I see where your opinions differ. Now, tell me where you agree."
