"Kenji Fukui: Five years ago [or Nearly a decade ago], a man's fantasy became a reality in a forum never seen before: Kitchen Stadium, a giant cooking arena [a giant cooking arena the Kitchen Stadium]. The motivation for spending his fortune to create Kitchen Stadium was to encounter new original cuisines which could be called true artistic creations. To realize his dream, he first secretly started choosing [selecting] the top chefs of various styles of cooking, and he named his men the Iron Chefs: the invincible men of culinary skills. Iron Chef Japanese is Rokusabaru Michiba/Komei Nakamura/Masaharu Morimoto. Iron Chef French is Hiroyuki Sakai. Iron Chef Chinese is Chen Kenichi. And Masahiko Kobe is Iron Chef Italian. The Kitchen Stadium is the arena where Iron Chefs await the challenges of master chefs from around the world. Both the Iron Chef and challenger have one hour to tackle the theme ingredient of the day. Using all their senses, skill, creativity, they are to prepare artistic dishes never tasted before. And if ever a challenger wins over the Iron Chef, he or she will gain the people's ovation and fame forever. [But this man has even bigger dreams. Yes he’s on the quest to see and experience for more around the world. In Paris. In Beijing. In Hong Kong and other exotic locals.] Every battle, reputations are on the line in Kitchen Stadium, where master chefs pit their artistic creations against each other [Kitchen Stadium is the arena where you’ll meet Iron Chefs from around the world and the artistic creations]. What inspiration does today's challenger bring? And how will the Iron Chef fight back? The heat will be on!"

"Renton: I'm sorry I did this without permission. I thought that as long as I'm on board this ship waiting to talk to Holland, I'd try to make good use of myself. Hap: Come on, Renton. Don't be saying depressing stuff like that. I really don't know what you've determined to do with your life, but I'm not gonna get in your way. In fact, I'd...I'd like to cheer you on because you're one of our dear friends. Renton: (surprised) Thank you, Hap. (Talho comes in) Talho: Renton. Renton: Yes? Talho: We didn't create the Gekkostate in order to pretend we're some sort of an extended family. You understand? Hap: Hey, Talho, there's no reason for you to put it that way. Talho: Why don't you just shut up, Hap! Renton: Yes, I know. I think the reason this ship exists is in order to go to war. Talho: By any chance do you happen to know why we're at war? Renton: No I don't. Talho: So you can fight without knowing the reason why? Renton: I cant fight at all. And I can't fight at all, either. Talho: Really? Even if this war was started by that famous father of yours, Adroc Thurston, who saved the world? (Renton and everyone is shocked) Adroc was working as a technician for the army when one day he made the shocking assertion that this land, Scub Coral, was actually a Coralian, a sentiment being. He tried to prove his assertions, but in the process of the investigation at the Great Wall. adverse effects on humans, believed to be from Scub Coral, expanded among the researchers and army associates. The army officials, hearing of this, decided to get rid of the Coralian, and Adroc, in the end, was against it. He was convinced, he was absolutely convinced, that the Coralian was an intelligent life form. That qas why he had searched for a way to co-exist. His conviction was cemented by the emergence of a human-shaped Coralian. The name of the humanoid Coralian...is Eureka. (everyone is more shocked)"

"Holland: Until now, I've been living my life by using all sorts of things. In order to survive, I've used lifting and the entire counterculture surrounding it. What I didn't realize is that I was hurting them every time I used them. And that's not all. Saying I was protecting something important, I also hurt a lot of people, like Eureka and Renton. I'm sorry for what I did. Forgive me. Renton: Holland... Holland: But that's not what I came here to say. As of this moment, the Gekkostate is disbanding. (everyone gasps in shock) Hap: What? Talho: One of the assistants from my intelligence department days found him. Apparently, Master Norb has appeared along in the Capital, seeking audience with the three Sages. Hap: The Capital?! Holland: We don't have a lot of time. Master Norb, who has been in complete hiding for the past three years, showed up in the enemy headquarters, of all places, which means he's resigned himself to the current location. The thing is, we cant afford to lose him right now. Losing him means losing the possibility of humans and Coralians co-existing on this planet, like what we have right here in front of our eyes. I'm going into the Capital to rescue Master Norb. I probably won't make it out in one piece. I've decided to do this for my own personal reasons and nothing else. I cant force any of you to follow me. Those that want to get off this ship should get off, or stay if you wish. No matter, what choice you make, I will honor it as your decision. That's the last order I give you as the elader of the Gekkostate. That's all. Disband."

"(After Holland's speech; on the bridge) Ken-Goh: It's been three years, hasn't it? Holland: Since what? Ken-Goh: Since you took control of the Gekko and escaped out of the military. Come to think of it, it was just the three of back then, right, Talho? Talho: Yeah. I know it's true that we don't have any time left, but we can just start over from square one. Holland: Thanks, Talho. Hap: I think that's the first time I've ever heard you say that word. Holland: Huh, jeez. Hap: You and I have been together since we were three-years-old. I hope you say that to me once before I die. Holland: I will. Gidget: Leader, you've got a message from Stoner. He's developing film right now, so he doesn't want you to make any sudden moves. Talho: Okay, Gidget. Jobs: Engine room here. Engines are good. All systems show no malfunctions. we can go any time. Moondoggie: This is the catapult control room. Right now, we have the 606 on the turntable. The 606 is formally requesting clearance from the bridge to release the catapult for a scouting mission. Hilda: This is the 606. Leader, you know you're gonna need an LFO in the air for what you're trying to do right now, right, Matthieu? Matthieu: That's right, Leader. Holland: Matthieu... Woz: I'm not seeing any enemy bogies on the radar. Holland: Woz, I... Woz: The central computer is back up and running, just like our leader. Holland: You guys... Gekkostate is- Renton: We're not going to let you disband us. We all talked it out. I mean, come one, let's face it, Holland. All of us could see that what you're trying to do right now is nothing different from what we've been trying to do all along, and that is what the Gekkostate is all about! Holland: Renton... Talho: Now, Leader, hurry up with your orders. Everyone here is waiting for you to tell them what to do. Holland: All hands! The Gekko's mission now is to invade the Capital! Operational details will follow, but for now, let's change course. head for the next point were we can perform trajectory flight! Got that?! Everyone: Roger! (Gekko slams full speed, causing Stoner to hit the wall) Stoner: Hey! Come one! Wasn't anybody listening to my request? I guess this time I'll let it go, considering I've just finished creating the best piece of my life. (looks at the picture of Renton and Eureka happily lifting on the longboard in the sunset) The title for this one is...hmm...let's see...how about something like..."Pacific State"?"

"The course will be focused on the question: What is Justice? We will do so by analyzing the Japanese Anime, Death Note, featuring a young genius, named Light Yagami, who seeks to create justice in the world through a mass murder of criminals. The original twelve volume series has gone on to sell over 26 million copies, and has received nominated for several awards such as "Best Manga at the 2006 American Anime Awards, the 2007 , an Official Selection at 2008, and Obata was nominated for Best Penciller/Inker at the 2008 s." The protagonist's voice actor also won the "Best Voice Actor" award at the Tokyo International Anime Fair in 2008. In addition to the successful Anime adaptation, there have since been three live-action movies, three video games, and two spin-off novels from the material. The series has since been banned in several cities, primarily in China, to protect the physical and mental health of young students, as well as to avoid the copycat crimes that had been occurring throughout the world. We will be using Death Note as a lens to look critically at current events such as the drone strikes in the Middle East, and discuss whether or not such actions are just. The course will address aspects of vigiliantism, as well as the morality within murder. Overall, we ask students to keep an open mind and to challenge their preconceived notions of justice based upon what is actually happening in the world."

"I believe that anyone who draws has a desire to attract people with their art, but this is an ambition that I had suppressed for a long time. This is because back when I had just had my debut, my editor at the time had shown me a manga page by Hagiwara Kazushi (BASTARD!!). I felt that if I were honest with myself, my art would never be able to compete with something like this. But I was never able to throw away my ideal of being able to draw manga without help from other people. A few times during the run of YYH, I finished my manuscripts all by myself. All of these instances were when my stress levels were at their highest. I don't know if anyone will understand, but when I was stressed because I wasn't satisfied with my manga, the only way for me to relieve this stress was to draw all my manga by myself. As a result, those chapters ended up horrible. Both the characters and the backgrounds were messy. The one shot Two Shots, Karasu vs. Kurama, Yusuke vs. Sensui, the scene where Yusuke meets Raizen, I drew most of those alone. The latter two were finished in half a day before my deadline, as a reader guessed and criticized in a letter. This might mean I fail as a professional, but I was satisfied. I had already started to think that no matter what anyone says, no matter how messy the finished pages are, I just wanted to draw this by myself, and I had no reason not to go through with it. It saddens me to say this, but I had explored every possible direction for the YYH characters that I could in the context of a professional publication. All I could do at this point was to start deconstructing the characters, or go on repeating the same storylines over and over until the readers got bored. My attempts to deconstruct the characters were, of course, turned down by Jump. I didn't have the strength, physically and mentally, to keep doing the same thing over and over."

"[Speech regarding Alucard and vampirism] All variables are falling beautifully into place, Doctor. He is rebuilding his castle brick by bloody brick. Sieg gehört jetzt mir. (Victory is mine now.) He wears the guise of a man, but I never thought of him as one. Or even as a vampire, for that matter. He is king and castle both; his dominion - the river Styx, the untold dead he's drowned in it - his subjects. What cost victory? What ploy will leave him in the dust? These questions run through my mind every waking moment. Thoughts of him even invade my dreams leaving me crying out for bloodshed. And now, at long last, our war has dawned... I bring all that I am to this fight - body and soul. But is it enough? How do our arsenals compare? He can change form, summon familiars, bend men to his will and the taste of human blood brings him life anew. And these powers he can call upon as quickly as a man might blink! But I take the stage with nothing. Why, you ask? Because I am a human being. To be a vampire, to taste life eternal and wage war throughout the centuries - what a perfect existence! But that is a bridge too far; I cannot embrace undeath! [Flashback to World War II] Vampirism is brilliant - one can quaff another's soul like a vintage eiswein (ice wine) and steal everything that defines them. [Flashback: Major denies vampirism.] Mein Herz, meine Seele, mein Leben (My heart, my soul, my life) - they belong to me. Sharing one's life with another and they with you - losing the borders of oneself in a great sanguine sea... To gain by losing, what a delicious irony. It is the bliss of acquiesce. It is the bliss of... surrender. And so I say - to hell with you! What's mine, is mine alone! Every hair, every drop of blood... I am me... I am me. I am me! You are ruin made flesh, made beautiful. You are loved, and so I despise you. That is why you are my foe, my dazzling count. You are that most precious thing - a worthy opponent. An arch enemy. A king upon which to wage war! What you call victories are nothing more than the opening salvos of a battle fifty years in the making! [Closeup of Schrödinger] Our decades of preparation they were all for this moment. The last battalion, the ninth crusade, Father Anderson, the faithful Captain and duplicitous Walter - all of them were steps leading to the pyre upon which Alucard will burn! He has no choice but to release his final restriction and set loose his true form. At last he'll stand alone atop the battlements! Would it be Anderson who dispatches him or Walter who carries the day? I think he'll destroy them both! He is less than a man, but also much more. A century ago his reign of terror paralyzed London. Five hundred years ago he held back the Ottoman Empire. If that great river of blood meets his lips - the game is lost. He'll knock aside the chessboard like a petulant child. Life and death - he's cheated them both for centuries! How does one go about slaying such a force of nature? Do you cut through wave after wave of thralls on the battlefield and take his head like one of the Teutonic Knights of old? Nein. (No.) He'll simply summon more of his stolen blood, but that could work in my favor, because my enemy's greatest strength is also his Achilles' heel; tyrants have always been especially susceptible to poison."
