"You had somethin' real good in your past. Even if it hurts." The apparently untouchable, invincible Hashirama and if he hadn't had his own untouchable, invincible soul in his past as well. Nothing or no one would ever overshadow Stakar. His duty as a father had always come first when he fell into it, but for as much as the past hurt, he also remembers the moment Stakar freed him.
