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

Victory Interactions[]
BlazBlue[]
- Waldstein: Weak. Too weak.
- Tager: We’ve neutralized our opponents, but at the expense of our surroundings, I’m afraid.
- Waldstein: Unworthy! Absolutely unworthy.
- Azrael: You glutton. I've hardly eaten my fill!
- Jubei: Hmph. That about wraps it up.
- Waldstein: Huh, I see. You're quite the trickster.
Yūki Terumi (Takehaya Susano'o)
- Terumi (Susano'o): They were but insects before me.
- Waldstein: How dull to swat them so quickly.
Persona 4 Arena[]

Victory Screen Interactions[]
BlazBlue[]
- Tager: I fully understand the capacity of your strength, but you should consider brushing up on your tactics a little more. Not all battles can be won with brute force alone.
- Waldstein: Don’t make me laugh. Little tricks and gambits are meaningless in the face of raw power. My claws will make short work of them.
- Azrael: I'm starving... You robbed my of my prey, and now I'm starving... You're going to pay for this, old warrior...!
- Waldstein: Disgraceful... Barking for food like a stray dog. Very well, I shall engrave the essence of strength into your body!
- Jubei: Ain't no point in focusin' just on strength or speed. Ya need technique to really make 'em sing. If ya only think size matters, then ya ain't gonna win.
- Waldstein: Pah, spoken like a true weakling. Strength is the essence of battle -- turn your back on it, and you will never know true power.
Yūki Terumi (Takehaya Susano'o)
- Terumi (Susano'o): This was inevitable. You are all just roaches, crawling through the dirt before me.
- Waldstein: Unbelievable... I didn't intend to preach to a god today, but you've let me no choice. I must show you the joy of battle!
Persona 4 Arena[]
- Chie: So, what do you think, Gramps? It's kinda fun to play nice once in a while, right?
- Waldstein: I don't mind sparring from time to time. But who are you calling "Gramps"? ...It isn't me, is it?
- 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.
Under Night In-Birth[]
- Hyde: What now, old man? Still wanna treat me like a kid?
- Waldstein: Don't make me laugh boy. You're barely breaking out of your shell. Talk to me again when your arms are the size of your torso.
- Waldstein: Princess... As I say daily... you must train your body! Power is the heart of combat, and it only resides within those who train! With those scrawny arms, you shall accomplish nothing!
- Linne: I refuse. Even I have a little self-respect.
- Waldstein: Just as I thought, these people were unworthy to harvest. They're nothing but cowards, running rampart around the battlefield... How utterly unfortunate.
- Gordeau: Ah, relax. You'll get a ripe one of these days.
- Waldstein: It's simple: "Fighting is Power." That is the one and only truth you need know.
- Mika: Whoa! That's so deep! And so cool! Thanks, Teach!
- Seth: You still wander the path of heresy, Hecatoncheir. One day I'll bring those wanderings to a perfect end.
- Waldstein: One day, you might. But now's not the time to ponder my fate. If you consider yourself a soldier, you should be indulging in the joy of battle.
RWBY[]
- Waldstein: Gwaahahahaha! Now THIS is a battlefield! An encounter with a powerful foe never fails to excite me.
- Yang: Well, I'm glad YOU'RE happy, at least. But geez, you could've given me some room to show off a little.
Generic[]
- "Though our alliance was belief, it was quite enjoyable indeed. Should the opportunity arise, let us fight as one again!"
- "You got some tricks, but you lack training -- and a keep mind needs a powerful body. As you stand, victory is far beyond your grasp."
- "We will neither run nor hide. If you wish to fight us again, we will always be ready."
- "Did I not make myself clear? Trickery is meaningless before my power! You've wasted my time..."
- "You are a mighty warrior, worthy of a battle to the death. Had it not been for our encounter, you would have blossomed into a magnificent foe."
