It was said about him…

… the male one is a bad omen… he’ll surely bring the melting of the glaciers…” (Koorime elder)

“When you fought with Yuusuke the first time you were classified in the first positions of D class… it hasn’t been 6 month yet… I’m really impressed by your ability. (Koenma)

“We were just doctor and patient… well, I taught him some sword technique… and it seems he learnt it very well, in his own way.” (Shigure)

“… you often tell lies.” (Mukuro)

“Between all the minds I’ve read into, yours is surely the best one.” (Mukuro)

Note: these quotes are *coughs* badly *coughs* translated from the Italian version of the manga or the anime, so they may be different both from the dubs and from the English manga, which I know is being published right now. Contact me if you have the correct English quotes (or better, the Japanese ones) or if you have other quotes you think will fit here. It would be appreciated. ^_^
