Tokageroh: Ha ha ha. I will drag this Ryu to hell with me. I have lived in hell, what do I have to fear?
Henchmen: Ryu-san !
< Ryu drops knife >
Tokageroh: Why can't I move?
< Title Chapter 23: Tokageroh's grief >
< Ryu collapses >
Tokageroh: What is this? Why can't I move? This feeling… just like before…
Manta: Why did he collapse?
Tokageroh: I… almost… succeed… This… is…
Yoh: 2 spirits in one body is unnatural. Human body will have a big burden. Ryu's body is not trained to be a shaman. So he reaches his limit. No matter what, Ryu will die.
Tokageroh: Huh!
Henchmen: What!
Amidamaru: Ryu
Manta: Will be possessed to death?
Henchmen: What is "possessed to death"? Kid, explain it!
Manta: Death is… death, isn't it?
Yoh: Tokageroh, that body is useless now. Can you come out, please?
Tokageroh: His death doesn't concern me. This is all you fault, Amidamaru. I won't forgive you. I will not go away until I see you in pain.
< Amidamaru tries to look painful >
Tokageroh: Stop joking will ya?
Amidamaru: Why do you hate me that much? You have killed so many people, why couldn't you accept your own death?
Tokageroh: Quiet! No matter what, I have to live!
Amidamaru: Live?
Tokageroh: Yes. A lizard can live even it loses a tail.
Tokageroh: I have to eat my mother's corpse to survive!
Manta: Corpse?
Tokageroh: You think I am joking? My mom sacrifices herself for me.
Tokageroh: My name, Tokageroh (Lizard), was given by my mom to remind me to survive. I have to do everything to survive. But I was killed so easily by you! Why can't I be mad, Amidamaru?
Amidamaru: Tokageroh…
Tokageroh: I… have to live for my mom!
< Ryu stands up >
Manta: He can stand, with that body!
Amidamaru: Be careful, Lord Yoh!
< Ryu catches Yoh >
Tokageroh: Ha ha. Now I have new hostage. If I kill this boy, you will be eternally in pain. Now I can avenge my death.
Anna: It's not that easy.
Anna: Don't you learn anything today?
< Anna catches Ryu with holy beads >
Tokageroh: Argh.
Yoh: Anna!
Anna: You are too clumsy, Yoh! He cannot be treated lightly. Now this body is very weak. It's time to finish the business.
Manta: Finish the business?
Anna: Bad spirit like this must be exorcised. He can't resist this anymore. I will send this no-good spirit straight to hell.
< Yoh holds Anna >
Yoh: Don't Anna. If you send him to hell, who will save his soul?
Anna: huh?
Manta: You want to save Tokageroh?
Anna: What are you thinking?
Yoh: To help the helpless soul is Shaman's job.
Anna: But…
Yoh: There is no person who cann't be helped. His desire to live is too much that he depends only on himself. He just envies Amidamaru that is strong because of friendship. If only he has a friend…
Tokageroh: Nonsense! I am just angry at him! Nothing relates to those friendship and trust thing!
Anna: You still want to help him? You cannot help them both, and if you leave thing like this, Ryu will die.
Yoh: There is a way to help them, just fulfill his dream.
Anna: Fullfill?
Yoh: Yes, fulfill his dream.
Yoh: Let's make a deal since you don't have much choices anyway.
Tokageroh: Shut up! I don't care about any of your yapping.
Yoh: You don't care about anything… If you are that angry, then possess me. I will let you do anything you want.
