Partner with Ragna the Bloodedge	Akatsuki: What immense power... "Grim Reaper" is certainly appropriate. Ragna: Heh. Says the "Thunder God." You were pretty wild back there too.
	Partner with Ragna the Bloodedge
Partner with Iron Tager	Tager: I've gotten a good look at your skills now. The way you tear across the battlefield really is worthy of the moniker "Thunder God." Akatsuki: I'm just grateful I lived long enough to fight alongside the "Red Devil."
	Partner with Iron Tager

	Partner with Makoto Nanaya

	Partner with Jubei

	Partner with Yosuke Hanamura

	Partner with Hyde
Partner with Orie	Akatsuki: Orie... I feel as though I saw you in an opera once, long ago. Déjà vu or not, you're an excellent combatant. Orie: I humbly accept your compliment. It's an honor to fight with another champion of law and order.
	Partner with Orie
Partner with Hilda	Akatsuki: Excuse me, ma'am. Your rather...geisha-like outfit may invite some misunderstandings about our relationship. Couldn't you wear something more...modest? Hilda: Ugh... Ugly, smelly, AND stupid. This is why I don't like straight-laced men. I'll do what I damn well please.
	Partner with Hilda
Partner with Yang Xiao Long	Akatsuki: Gauntlets with a revolving magazine... So you fire at your enemies while you punch them? I...would hesitate to call that sane. Yang: You know you've got an engine inside your stomach, right? It doesn't matter how sane it is, as long as it's cool.
	Partner with Yang Xiao Long
Partner with Heart Aino	Heart: Love can't be defeated! It can accomplish anything in the world! Akatsuki: Given the outcome of our fight, I've no choice but to agree.
