Hi. Really sorry to be a bother but I was just wondering if I could use some of your hakaimono quotes? They’re really funny to me and I would love to put them into a video format. I’d credit you and everything. You can say no if you want, but I just want to get permission before I post anything. Ty :D

Hey there, glad to see there's still a Shadow of the Fox fandom out there! Not only do you have my full permission to use the quotes, please tag me or share a link because I'd love to see your work. Have fun creating!

Daisuke: Today you will have the honor of playing one of the greatest games ever invented. A game of skill, agility, cunning. A game with one simple rule. Dodge.

Yumeko: Daisuke-san, we're being shot at!

Okame: Hey, Daisuke-san! Last Christmas, I gave you my heart. Which organ would you like for Valentine's Day?

Reika: Gross, Okame-san, that's completely inappropriate—

Daisuke: I have always wanted to dissect a liver. Would that be feasible?

Reika:

Okame: I think he's my soulmate.

Yumeko: I can't wait to stay up late for New Year's Eve.

Master Isao: Over Christmas break, you've been staying up late every night.

Yumeko: Yeah, but this time has a purpose.

Yumeko: My New Year's resolution is to continue being a cutie patootie.

Okame: My New Year's resolution is to give up alcohol. Oops, I meant: My new Year's resolution is to give up. Alcohol!

Reika: My New Year's resolution is to spend less time interacting with people and more time with my phone. Doing pretty well so far.

Daisuke: My New Year's resolution is to be taller.

Tatsumi: My New Year's resolution is to stop having thoughts.

Hakaimono: I'm not gonna make any New Year's resolutions because I'm perfect, but I'm gonna recommend that a lot of you make New Year's resolutions to be nicer to me.

Raising awareness about mental health! Mine is very bad. Thank you for reading.

Hino Okame, probably

[incorrect-shadowofthefox]

Tatsumi: I expected better from you.

Okame: Well, that was your fault. I have nothing to do with that.

Master Isao: Yumeko-chan, why don't you finish off these pies? I don't have any more room in the pantry.

Yumeko: No—no, thank you.

Denga: Well, Master Isao, you did it. She’s finally full.

Look, you just can’t let dead people get to you. They’re super pissed off they’re dead, so they’re coming from a place of anger.

Okame, on the Path of Shadows, probably

[incorrect-shadowofthefox]

Reika: Is that legal?

Okame: Hey, if you don't get caught, everything's legal.

[incorrect-shadowofthefox]

Yumeko: You murdered three people!

Seigetsu: It all just sort of snowballed.

[incorrect-shadowofthefox]

Sometimes, bad guys are the only good guys you get.

Hakaimono, to Tatsumi

[incorrect-shadowofthefox]

If I don’t kill someone soon, I’m going to forget how.

Hakaimono, probably

[incorrect-shadowofthefox]

Reika: Okay, the first thing people do in a situation like this is panic.

Suki: Well, I think I'm doing it in the right order.

[incorrect-shadowofthefox]

Seigetsu: You can trust me.

Hakaimono: I have been in forests less shady than you.

[incorrect-shadowofthefox]

Daisuke: You look pretty damn calm for a man with a sword pointed at him.

Okame, shrugging: This isn't my first time.

[incorrect-shadowofthefox]

Yumeko: I have a question.

Reika: Go on.

Yumeko: In the word ‘scent,’ is it the ‘s’ or the ‘c’ that’s silent?

Okame: Oh, no. Now I’m going to be thinking about that all day.

Reika: Okay, well, ‘cent’ is pronounced the same way as ‘scent,’ so I’d say the ‘s.’

Yumeko: But ‘sent’ is also pronounced the same way.

Daisuke: Okay, this dictionary says the ‘c’ was added in the 17th century. So I guess the ‘c’ is silent.

Yumeko: Plot twist—both the ‘s’ and the ‘c’ are silent and the letter ‘e’ makes the ‘sss’ sound.

Reika: Yumeko-chan isn’t allowed to talk anymore.
