Sharp of Tongue
Tokiya is pretty much known for his biting remarks and sarcastic comments, and so here we are with a list of memorable lines spoken by the swordsman of water himself. I might add some quotes from the anime in the future, when I've had the time to really observe the difference between the anime and manga dialogue.Stuff in brackets ([ ]) indicate lines that Tokiya did not speak aloud.
