Yep! We're all really strong and we've trained together too! Izumo is one of the smartest people I've ever met! He's strong and his fire is amazing. Nothing can take Shizuo's down and he's always there. I've never seen someone fight like he does! They're my best friends. No matter what happens, Yona, we'll protect you!
