Theme for 11 August, "I claim proud kinship with your race and blood"

"If we had been born two hundred years ago, you would have been the older brother."

"Me?" Yoh asks.

"In ancient Japan, the twin that was born first was considered the younger. So I could have been calling you 'Big Brother'."

Yoh considers this. "But if it were two hundred years ago, we wouldn't be in the Shaman Fight," he says.

"But we would be brothers, and I would be a true member of the Asakura clan."

Yoh's lips shape an 'o', before he replies, "But you are."

Hao stares at him for a full second, and bursts out laughing.
