Being tenacious.
Page 49:
Dracula: Tenacious?! Brave!?
Ryu: Yes, whatever happens, I never give up!
Page 50:
Ryu: One who chooses autodestruction doesn't realize his goals. No friends. No best place.
Ryu: And even less technique to crush your face!
Episode 101
Being tenacious.

[Flashback]
[1999, Izumo, the first days of summer after Yoh's disappearance.]
Yohmei: Follow an apprenticeship, is that it?
[Asakura]
Ryu: Yes, I also want to become a shaman.
Page 53:
Ryu: Thanks in advance. I'm a solitary wolf. I want to become a strong man.
Yohmei: Go back home.
Ryu: Geh!!!
Page 54:
Ryu: But!? Old man!
Ryu: You're not cool! Agressing for no reason!
Yohmei: I don't have time to listen to you, you little bandit! At least learn how to ask for things politely!
Yohmei: You want to have success amongst the girls, is that what you want?
Ryu: Geh! How did you guess!?
Yohmei: I'm also a man. At the beginning of the summer I used to test my courage by making all the girls scream.
Yohmei: That makes me think of the daughter of the mayor... She was so beautiful and easily scared.
Ryu: No one cares about your little stories! If you understand me, why don't we start my apprenticeship!?
Page 55:
Yohmei: No. I'm sorry but I don't feel like teaching you anything.
Yohmei: Ryu, forgive me.
Ryu: I don't want other people involved in our horrible family story. Even if deep inside I see you as incapable... he he.
Ryu: ...
Ryu: Old men! All the same!
Tokagero: You're really stubborn. If he doesn't want to, you don't have the choice!
Ryu: Eh? Who?
Page 56:
Tokagero: It's me. Thanks for last time. Ryu.
Ryu: Geh! Tokagero! What are you doing in Izumo!?
Tokagero: I don't know. I don't know anything.
Tokagero: Just one thing. I also think that I don't have any place to go to either.
Page 57:
Ryu: What?
[Security: The Izumo community lighthouse]
Ryu: You feel no more hate?
Tokagero: Yes. I was the first to be surprised. No more trace of aggressiveness. I don't even have anything against Amidamaru anymore. No rancor either for the more than 600 years of hell I just lived. I don't quite understand what's happening to me.
Page 58:
Tokagero: Ever since that I was with you and I fought on Yoh's side.
Ryu: ...
Tokagero: That boy is really strange. When we're with him we lose all evil thoughts and obsessions.
Tokagero: Don't you think that I'm becoming quite strange. My name was synonymous to terror and I have finally become soft!
Tokagero: I have no more will. It really bothers me. I'm bothered and I have nothing else to do. I don't want to be sent now to the heavens. I'd risk going to hell. Without thinking that if I had to go, you'd be the only one with who I could speak.
Page 59:
Ryu: What's happening to you is good.
Tokagero: What?
Ryu: Yes, you're no longer in rage. You're not pitiful, you've become almost normal.
Tokagero: Normal.
Ryu: A human is right away overpowered by his emotions.
Ryu: It's like friends. They don't change but they are capable of working out and improving their relationships. Emotions create friends, as well as enemies.
Page 60:
Ryu: In this world, friends or enemies shouldn't exist. It's your imagination and your thoughts that are bringing birth to these sufferings.
Ryu: Tokagero!
Ryu: Now that you have no more enemies, you understand that you must also find a place where to go.
Tokagero: Hey you, young man, stop playing the old wise man. Unless you lied to us about your age!? Ryu: It might not seem like it but I had a very difficult youth.
Ryu: And master Yoh accepted us and taught us never to give up.
Page 61:
Ryu: He gave me the want to become a shaman.
Tokagero: Ryu...
Tokagero: Weren't you talking about opening a sushi bar in the US?
Ryu: I put together the rest of my money to meet the professor of my master, here in Izumo. I have to do the most I can to be able to profit from what he knows.
Page 62:
Ryu: No matter what he says, I can see ghosts. That means I have the potential to become a shaman but also the charm to get all the girls!
Tokagero: ...
Tokagero: That's nice and all. Take advantage of your life to have hope.
Tokagero: As long as you are alive...
Ryu: Idiot! That's the answer of a loser.
Ryu: If you don't have anywhere to go, why don't you come with me? Once shaman, I'll accept you as my ghost.
Page 63:
Ryu: Well, that's not all. I have to reattempt my chances with the old man.
Ryu: I! I won't let go of this issue until I've found my best place!
