Robert McCollum: Shinobu Sensui

Quotes 

• Koenma : [thinking]  If only I could rearrange the gears turning in your head! I don't want to use this on you! Please, return to the Sensui you were!

  [in flashback] 

  Koenma : If there has ever been a human destined to be Spirit Detective, it was you. You were born with incredible powers, and an obsession for making things right and just. It was my fault; I was too eager to close the case. How could I not have known how you would react, when you saw the darkest vices of man? When you realized that your life's work of protecting humans from demons was not a crusade of pure justice, but a study in gray?

  Shinobu Sensui : [in flashback]  It is a war waged against evil, yet the evil is within. How else can I justify what I've done, but to continue? Then shouldn't all humans die?

  Koenma : But there has never been a light that did not cast a shadow. Darkness, by its nature, must always be entwined with good. I must take the burden for what you are now. I exposed you to that truth your idealistic mind can't understand. So, if you continue this battle for unearthly principles - if that's what you decide - then I will go with you. I'll trap myself in the net with you, share the pain of being trapped without movement for eternity. It's the least I can do.

  [aloud] 

  Koenma : Please, Shinobu, come around!

• Koenma : If I engage this Mafuken, it will first seal the precious tunnel that you've poured your life into creating. Then I'll trap you inside the net, and you'll never move again. I've kept this thing between my teeth for most of my existence, giving it my spirit energy. It was for humanity's next dark day in a few hundred years, yet you give me no choice but to use it now.

  Shinobu Sensui : Well, you're just as stupid as Shinobu says. You can't use that fancy weapon on little old us! Who's going to save the humans in that supposed dark time now?

  Koenma : We must handle each new dilemma as it comes to us. If your plan is allowed to continue, in a few hundred years there will be nothing left to save. This way, your conspiracy will end. You're finished, Sensui, unless you plan to kill me.

  Shinobu Sensui : My, my, you really ain't screwin' around!

  Koenma : You should consult with your other sides. Are you really ready to be damned? Because surrender and torment are your only choices.
