- Waldstein: You can tell, can you? Interesting.

Victory Interactions[]
BlazBlue[]
- Tager: You've got potential, but you overestimate your abilities.
- Akihiko: Victory only comes to those who train.

- Hakumen: Weakling. Know the limits of your strength.
- Makoto: Ha! We're on a roll!
- Akihiko: Yeah! I'm all fired up and feeling good!

Victory Screen Interactions[]
BlazBlue[]
- Akihiko: A good battle like that deserves a good celebration! A toast, with the finest ale-- or, maybe the finest beef bowls!
- Tager: Very well. But if you wouldn't mind, please pour me a glass of natural oil.
- Hakumen: There is no meaning to justice without power. If you have something to protect, words are useless. Pick up your sword and take action.
- Akihiko: The time you spend training will never betray you. If you get lonely training alone, how about a partner?
- Akihiko: Good, but it's not enough. I need more! My muscles still haven't been pushed to their limit!
- Makoto: Uh oh, his weirdo switch has been flipped... There's no stopping him now...
- Akihiko: My muscles are twitching... That must mean they still have room to grow. It's too early for protein now, so this calls for more training!
- Azrael: Good, I like that fighting spirit of yours... Very well! I'll take you on!
Yuki Terumi (Takehaya Susano'o)
- Akihiko: Power's not about winning or losing. It's all about having a challenger's mentality. I don't care whether you're a god or not, just stop talking trash.
- Terumi (Susano'o): You speak out of turn, human filth. You desire a challenge? The face the greatest this world has to offer: God's judgment!
Persona 4 Arena[]
- Akihiko: Nice kick. You stuck to your training, and it shows. Next up, I'll show you the best protein powders for woman. They're really good, too.
- Chie: Thank you, Master! I hope they come in meat flavor!
- Akihiko: Heh. Guess we're fighting together again.
- Mitsuru: Whatever I'm with you, I feel driven to reach greater heights... I guess the word "rivals" suits us well.
- Akihiko: Your body will never betray you. Your body was telling me that you've got the potential to become much stronger.
- Aegis: So the body really speaks? Impressive, Sanada-san. I could not hear it.
Under Night In-Birth[]
- Waldstein: This battle was truly thrilling! I am grateful to have met a warrior such as you.
- Akihiko: Heh. Well, we both share the desire to be our best, after all. Can't wait to train with you again.
- Akihiko: Your mind slips because you're thinking about so many unnecessary things. With the proper training, you'd be able to cut down on the internal chatter. I can teach you, what do you say?
- Carmine: Gaaah, shut up! Just shut up! What the hell do you know!? Get the hell out of my sight. You don't know anything about me...
- Mika: Total victory! ♪ C'mon, let's run toward the sunset!
- Akihiko: Sure, I could use a jog! And once we're done, let's celebrate with some protein shakes.
RWBY[]
- Yang: I guess that was kind of fun. But it's not a game, so I can't afford to give anything less than my all.
- Akihiko: Looks to me like you really do value your training. It shows in battle, too. Your reads were really sharp.
Arcana Heart[]
- Akihiko: I'm still not there yet... I know I can push myself farther. I haven't yet reached the strength I'm looking for!
- Heart: So your love takes the shape of training? That's so awesome!
Akatsuki En-Eins[]
- Akihiko: How 'bout it, Akatsuki? You up for a match with me? My fists are callin' out for another fight!
- Akatsuki: I'd step into the ring... But do you mind if I refuel first?
Generic[]
- "This won't do at all... You don't have the training or the muscles. Do some squats and come back!"
- "Heh... You've really improved. I can't wait to fight you again."
- "We just barely won. Guess I still need more training. How 'bout we train together?"
- "Hm!? This fight just gave me a great idea for a new workout! I've gotta get going. Adios!"
- "Now that's the kind of fight that gets your blood going! This is gonna make me even stronger. Nice job."
