Red like the shadows that feed on the night. Like a sigh piercing the moon It shines white, and scatters red."

"Your shadow, quietly Like a vagrant poison needle Stitches my footsteps. Your radiance, lithely Like lightning striking a water tower cuts down the source of my life."

"No, nothing can change my world."

"Japanese:One who paints the beauty in love is one who pretends to know her form. One who paints the ugliness in love is one who once arrogantly knew her form. English: Those who do not know what love is liken it to beauty. Those who claim to know what love is liken it to ugliness."

"There is no meaning in our world neither is there any meaning in us, the ones who live in it. It is then meaningless for us, who are equally meaningless, to conceive the world in our thoughts despite knowing there is no meaning to be found"

"You may live bowing on your knees, but die standing on your feet"

"It is not terrifying to know sorrow. Terrifying is to know you can't go back to happiness you could have."

"You are becoming a snake tomorrow, and as you start to devour people, with that mouth that has eaten others, you cry your love to me, and the same as today, I do wonder, will I be able to say my love to you?"

"I wonder can I carry on with the speed of the world without you in it"

"Time always goading from behind, raising a growl before one's eyes, is wholly washed away. Let halt your steps! Time shall wash you away to the beautiful past, and how it shall pare the fangs. Don't look ahead! Your hope approaches to the rear only within a dark, turbid stream."

"The battle is everything"

"You're slow, even when you're falling."

"[after Ichigo calls him "Byakuya"] Surely that man did not mean to call me by my first name?"

"Scatter, Senbonzakura."

"Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi."

"[after Ukitake coughs up blood while demanding that Byakuya respond to Rukia's execution] You should be careful, Ukitake. You'll only shorten your life. Having lost your lieutenant, I wouldn't think losing one more would matter."

"Feeling a faint motion of reiatsu toward cell four deep, I wondered what powerful warrior was hiding his reiatsu to slip inside, but it was merely a gnat."

"Disappear. My sword does not exist to crush insects like you."

"Are you telling me to exploit an opening for the likes of you? Do not speak out of your league, boy."

"No choice, then. Before you become intoxicated by your own power, I shall show you a decisive power gap that you could not overcome in a millennium of struggle."

"The Kuchiki clan is one of the four noble houses. We must set the standard for all shinigami. If we do not abide by the code...then who will uphold it?"

"[on Ichigo] I was... never his enemy. He was fighting the laws of the Soul Society. He's similar... to the one whose ferocity I found distasteful."

"That's not possible. With your ability, you couldn't even make one of my knees touch the ground."

"The curtain that falls at the end...shall be pulled down by the blade of my sword."

"Put away your sword and you shall live...unless you're still dreaming about defeating me. Did you forget, or did it just never occur to you...that I have Bankai as well?"

"Your blade will never be able to touch me. Ever."

"Be proud as someone who, after being struck by this power, is still able to retain the shape of a body."

"Well done. That time, your fang definitely touched me."

"It is a thousand years too early... for you to become worthy enough to die by my Bankai."

"You have a total of fifty eyes upon your body. With a mere fifty eyes... Exactly which do you intend to control... of these millions of blades that blot out the sky?"

"I believe you told me that it was "futile" to put up resistance? That there was nothing I could do? Allow me to correct you somewhat. The situation in which you find yourself right now, that is what we call "futile"."

"[To Zommari Rureaux] I have already told you. You and I, our levels are as distant as the earth from the heavens. Must I spell it out for you? I have discarded my left arm, discarded my left leg, and yet even so, I have not nearly lowered myself to your level."

"[To Zommari Rureaux]...An Arrancar, thinking of himself as an equal to me. That alone is already a form of pride itself."

"[To Zommari Rureaux] The arrogant one is you, Espada. But rest at ease. The reason for your loss is not due to that arrogance. It is simply due to a difference in power."

"[To Zommari Rureaux] Exactly when did I say that I do this because I am a shinigami? My killing you is no other reason than the fact that you... Pointed your blade [view shifts to Rukia] at my pride."

""Control"... you say? When you stand before me... that word holds no meaning. Bankai. Senbonzakura Kageyoshi."

"No matter how strong a defense, a stronger offense will always shatter it."

"[To Shūkurō Tsukishima] I hate your fighting style. You just mock your enemies after stealing their bonds. It's extremely vile. It's a shame deserving of death. Come. I'll kill you before you can even swing your sword."

"[To Ichigo Kurossaki] I fear I will not last much longer. As a Captain of the Gotei 13, to be unable to defeat the foul intruders who dirty the soil of Seireitei, who have brought about the deaths of many soldiers and brought sadness to those soldiers' subordinates and families... to lose my life in defeat at the hands of such wretches brings me great shame. You, meanwhile, are a human. By all rights, you should never have become involved in this conflict. Indeed, you should never even have come to this place. Yet now, at the end of my life, I ask you to forgive me the vile hubris of making one request of you. Please... protect Soul Society."

"I have learned all too well that I am still far too weak to allow myself to grow headstrong. As I have been lucky enough to survive, I must strive to once more achieve strength enough to justify the pride I once held."

"All things in the universe, turn to ashes, Ryūjin Jakka!"

"[To the Gotei 13] Place everything you have on the line, and crush them where they stand! Even if they should tear your flesh from your bones, make every last fragment of those bones an iron wall! They must not be permitted to set a single foot upon Soul Society's ground!"

"[To Sōsuke Aizen] Do you believe that simply by sealing Ryūjin Jakka, you have defeated me? You fool. Your foolishness is so great, it astounds me. Why, precisely, do you think I have served as Head Captain of the Gotei 13 for a thousand years? Because in all those thousand years, no Shinigami was born to rival me in strength."

"Regardless of the circumstances, we were saved by Ichigo Kurosaki in our time of need. It is now time that we returned the favor. Even if that should require violating our own statutes, to allow such a debt to go unpaid would bring eternal shame upon the entire Gotei 13."

"[To a young Shunsui Kyōraku] Ah, that picture... That is a monster that appeared in Soul Society long ago. It appeared when Soul Society was in great need and only brought further turmoil. It will not trouble us again. If, someday, that monster were to appear before us again... I fear that will be the last day I am ever seen in this place."

"I am here. There is no better security than this."

"[To Yhwach] I was waiting, indeed. So that I can smash your flesh, blood, sword, and soul into many tiny pieces. Bankai. Zanka no Tachi."

"Now that I've unleashed my bankai, think of both my body and blade as...the embodiment of the Sun!!"

"Shoot to Kill, Shinsō."

"Bankai, Kamishini no Yari."

"A gatekeeper ain't supposed to open gates."

"If you pull your sword in a place like this, I'll just have to stop you, won't I?"

"Sorry, Rangiku... If only you'd held on a little longer..."

"(Matsumoto is lying down. Ichimaru feeds Matsumoto a piece of fruit) Eat this. Fainting from hunger means you have it too, right? Spirit power."

"If you stay here, I'll have no choice but to kill you."

"[To Rukia as she is taken to Sokyoku Hill] Hello. How are you today Rukia dear?"

"(Referring to Tosen) He's such a boy scout, wouldn't you agree?"

"(Talking about Hueco Mundo) There isn't even water! Huh? Then how'd we have tea earlier?"

"All of Captain Aizen's abilities are quite different from everyone else's. Beware of his Kyōka Suigetsu? A useless precaution. Beware of his other abilities? Again, a useless precaution. Whether it's the sky falling, the earth splitting; even if you combined all your wits to take precautions for every misfortune, Captain Aizen's abilities are above all of that."

"[To Sōsuke Aizen] Feelings, eh? Nah, 'fraid not. Don't got none o' them. Didn't I tell ya, back when we first met? I'm a snake. Cold of flesh and devoid of heart. My tongue flicks back and forth, ever in search of new prey, and if I like what I find, I swallow 'em whole."

"[As a child, to Rangiku Matsumoto] I've decided. I'm going to become a Shinigami. Become a Shinigami and change things. So that they'll end...without Rangiku having to cry."

"[To Rangiku Matsumoto, in his dying thoughts] If you were to turn into a snake tomorrow and begin devouring humans, and from the same mouth you started devouring humans, you cried out to me 'I love you,' would I still be able to say 'I love you' the same way I do today""

"Dammit, is that how you greet your son who went out of his way to help a ghost on the way home?!"

"I see. So basically, you're a shinigami? And you came all the way from some place called Soul Society to vanquish evil spirits? Which means that monster earlier was one of those evil spirits? And it attacked that little girl? Okay, I belie- NO WAY I'LL BELIEVE THAT, DUMBASS!"

"[After the hollow of Orihime's brother threatens to kill her] Do you know why the big brother is born first? It's to protect the little brothers and sisters that come after him. A brother telling his sister, "I'll kill you..." You never, ever say something like that."

"I ain't such a saint that I can promise to risk my life for strangers. Neither am I scum enough to sit quietly by while people are getting hurt before my eyes."

"I'm not Superman. So I can't say anything big like I'll protect everyone on Earth. I'm not a modest guy who will say it's enough if I can protect as many people as my two hands can handle either. I want to protect... a mountain-load of people."

"[from the anime] (after hearing Rukia explain about being a Soul Reaper) That's all believable to me... 'ALONG WITH FLYING PIGS AND THE TOOTH FAIRY!!'"

"Amazing Armor of Justice," my ass! More like "Armor of Junk!"

"The moment I came out of that hole was the moment your luck ran out!"

"The one being saved doesn't get to complain!"

"Hold on. So in my mind, this jacked-up, sideways ridiculousness is the normal state?"

"(to self) Thanks, Rukia. Because of you, looks like the rain has finally stopped falling."

"What kind of rescuee complains about the rescue!? Why don't you go sit in a corner and tremble and fear and cry out (imitating girl's voice) "Save me! Save me!" like you're supposed to!"

"We can't waste time worrying about the what-if's. Rukia's execution date has been changed to noon tomorrow. So what? If the deadline has been changed to tomorrow... I'll just have to finish today!"

"The power in my hands was gained for her sake!"

"[to Byakuya] To execute your own sister with your own two hands? What a sick joke! No matter what reasons you have... under whatever circumstances... don't ever say that in front of Rukia again! Use your Bankai! I will destroy it! Then I will take you to Rukia and... make you cry while apologizing to her!"

"Your so-called honor... demands that you kill Rukia. If that's the case... then stepping on your honor... is the reason... I achieved Bankai!"

"Wait, you just called my closet dirty, didn't you!?"

"That's right. I've never actually drawn Zangetsu's true power or try to understand him. Zanpakuto are not mere tools. They're each alive. They each have names. I'm no better than that Kenpachi, who doesn't even know his zanpakuto's name."

"Because I swore that I would save her. I swore... to my soul!!"

"Just surviving is meaningless. Fighting just for the sake of it is meaningless. The only thing I want to do is .....WIN!"

"Sorry, Grimmjow... I can't afford... to take any more punishment."

"I did come here to fight you. And to defeat you, Grimmjow! I'll defeat you! And Ulquiorra! And Aizen! Then I'll take Rukia, Chad, Uryu, Renji and Orihime back with me!! So I can't... I can't let it end here! Grimmjow!"

"Stop it now, Grimmjow. You have lost. I don't know about you being a king or whatever... But just beating up everyone who annoys you... and becoming a king by yourself... where the hell's the fun in that...?! If I really piss you off that much, I'll fight you as many times as you like... So for now... can't you just stop...!?"

"Kenpachi. You just said it a while ago, that protecting Karakura Town was my duty. Wrong. My duty is to protect my friends."

"I'm not fighting because I think I can win, I'm fighting because I must win."

""Our pride"? It seems that this "our pride" is connected to killing Rukia. Then it's just as you said. I will stomp on that. That's why I've obtained this power!"

"I've never once felt superior due to being able to see ghosts. And I never thought to make a living at it. I also never thought to help anyone because of it. I... just dreamed of having a life where I couldn't see them. I've become what I've always dreamed of."

"Zangetsu, I won't ask you to 'lend me your power' any more. And I won't tell you 'don't get in my way'. I won't even say 'let us fight together'. I'll fight for myself. Thank you, Zangetsu. You are me."

"[To Old Man Zangetsu, referring to Ichigo] He's strong... Zangetsu... train him well... because one day, that power will become all mine."

"Ichigo, what's the difference between a king and his horse? And I'm not talking about obvious stuff like "One's a person and one's an animal" or "One has two legs and one has four." FORM, ABILITY and POWER , that's what's puzzling. If their form, ability and power are exactly the same, why is it that one becomes the king and leads into battle, while the other becomes the horse and carries the king?! So what's the characteristic that distinguishes these two beings? There's only one answer. Instinct! In order for identical beings to get stronger and gain the power they need to become king, they must search for more battles and power! They thirst for battle, and live to mercilessly, crush, shred, and slice their enemies! Deep, deep within our body lies the honed instinct to kill, and slaughter our enemies! My friend you don't have that! You use your brain to try to win a fight. You try to defeat your enemies with reason and logic! And it doesn't work! You're trying to cut them with a sheathed sword! That's why you're weaker than me, Ichigo!"

"(Speaking to Ichigo) You? kill me? I decline."

"(to Ichigo) Japanese: Tell me, does a person become your friend, just because you introduce yourself to him? No. English: Does a stranger become your friend just because you asked him his name?"

"(to Ichigo after severely wounding Byakuya) You really do suck after all... Ichigo!"

"I have.. No name!"

"I am Zangetsu!"

"(to Muramasa, about Ichigo) Me? I'm his true form. I guess you could say I'm his instincts."

"[[After being conquered by Ichigo] Shit. Looks like your instincts, and your desire to fight, aren't completely gone. Guess there's no way around it. You got me. I have to recognize you as the king, for now. But don't you ever forget! Don't forget that either one of us can become the king or the horse. If you ever give me the chance. I'll drag you down and crush your skull! And one last warning. If you really want to control my power, make sure you don't get yourself killed before I come back!"

"I see. So I still haven't reached you...."

"Just how many times must I strain my voice before it will reach you? And yet, nowhere in this world can there be anyone who knows me better than you."

"Ichigo... I hate the rain. Rain falls in this world, too. When your heart is in chaos, this sky becomes clouded. When you are sad, rain falls so terribly easy. Can you understand...The horrible feeling of being pelted by rain when you're all alone in this solitary world? If only to stop that rain, I shall lend you any strength. If you trust in me, I won't let a single drop of rain fall from that sky. Ichigo, trust me...You are not fighting alone."

"Why do you run, Ichigo? You still have not called on me. Face forward, Ichigo. You should be able to hear it now. That which blocks your ears is worthless fear. The enemy is one -- You are one. What is there to fear? Cast off your fear! Look ahead! Move forward! Never stand still. Retreat, and you will age. Hesitate, and you will die. Shout! My name is...!!"

"To fight...Or to live...Choose."

"Though you fight a fierce battle on the outside, your inner world trembles not the slightest."

"[to Ichigo, as Tensa Zangetsu] Take a look at this world! This world of yours used to be full of hope, filled with skyscrapers... now it looks like a run down small town it is. This place has sunk to a new low. The rain that continued to fall on this world has decided. And now everything has submerged itself to this ocean, and it all happened because you lost hope and stopped moving forward.(then stabs Ichigo in the chest with his hand.) Ichigo..I cannot leave you like this, I know what has to happen. I will rip out the root of your despair."

"[to Ichigo, as the hollowfied Tensa Zangetsu] Ichigo, do you remember what I said when we began this fight? 'The things that you want to protect are not the things that I want to protect'... What I wanted to protect was you Ichigo."

"Ichigo. You have become strong. I have had the pleasure of standing by your side all this time, watching you grow. What greater happiness can there be? I am satisfied."

"Burn, Engetsu."

"It's not anyone's fault that Masaki died. It's just that... the woman I fell in love with... was a woman who could die protecting her son. And don't forget. You are the guy... the woman I loved gave her life to protect."

"(to Karin) Do as your heart desires! Jump into your father's bosom!"

"(to Yuzu) Ah! It's okay, Yuzu, don't cry! Daddy will show you something really hilarious!"

"It's one of the basics... So I will teach you. A shinigami at the rank of Captain can control the size of his zanpakuto got it? Otherwise everyone'd carry around ginormous swords... just like you. Remember this well. You can't fathom the power of your rival simply from the size of his zanpakuto. You shouldn't give lectures about Shinigami until you understand that."

"I didn't hate it as much as I said. That hollow, that is. If there's anything that I've truly hated for 20 years without thinking twice... it'd have to be the fact that I failed to save Masaki on that night."

"Live well, Ichigo. Live well, age well, go bald well, and die after me. And... if you can, die smiling."

"Ichigo you are a good son."

"Extend, Hōzukimaru!"

"Bankai, Ryūmon Hōzukimaru!"

"I got no intentions of becoming a captain. Becoming a captain would mean that I can't fight under Captain Zaraki. If your wish is to surpass Kuchiki Byakuya... then I just have one wish: to fight and die under that man's command. That's all."

"Well, you sure have weird ways of doing things. The one who taught me how "to give your name out to he whom you are about to kill" also said... that it was always the last lesson he taught his students. That way, if you do end a person's life... at the very least, they will know the name of the one who slashed their mortal coil. I'm of the 11th Division, 3rd seat, Madarame Ikkaku! You're right, there's no reason for me to hear your name, because the most important thing is that you know mine. After all, it is the name of the man... who will send you to your death!"

"Awww maaan, and I really didn't feel like using it this early either. Better watch closely, and make sure you don't tell a soul! Bankai!!"

"You can't carry me AND dodge at the same time, Tetsuzaemon!"

"[To Moe Shishigawara] No man's life is worth more than another! If you're gonna put your life on the line, you do it as equals! I don't care if you're brothers, or master and apprentice, or whatever! You should only die for a guy who'd die for you! There's nothing honorable about throwing your life away as though it's nothing! That's just showing off like a kid!"

"All waves, rise now and become my shield, lightning, strike now and become my blade! Sōgyo no Kotowari!"

"If you save Kaien, then what becomes of his pride? If you go to his aid now, his life will be saved. But... at the same time, it would end up killing his pride for all eternity."

"Remember this well. There are two kind of fights in this world. As long as we place ourselves in battle, we must always know the difference: the fight to defend life...And the fight to defend pride!"

"If you were in this situation, what would you have done? You would run after Byakuya...And then kick him in the butt, right? No matter how one captain complains, the Central Government won't change their decision for one person. But if it was you, you would still run around appealing to save Kuchiki...No. You would probably do something completely different. You always chose the path that lead to the most danger. Am I right...Kaien?"

"The Commander-General's rather violent today, wouldn't you say?"

"Cry, Suzumushi."

"Bankai, Suzumushi Tsuishiki: Enma Kōrogi."

"[to Kenpachi Zaraki] I did not say that I hate you. What I mean to say is that you are unforgivable!!"

"I do not hate you. However, to protect our peaceful existence, there is no other way!"

"[to Kenpachi Zaraki, after Tosen's senses-robbing Bankai still does not discourage the Eleventh Division Captain from fighting] I see. It's understandable. You are a demon. You belong in the darkness. So of course you do not fear it."

"[about his deceased friend] I never overcame my shyness and told her that I actually liked clouds."

"If it's not enough to believe in justice, then I will become justice. I will seek out all evil in this world and wipe them out like the clouds in the sky. I swear I will...For justice."

"I told you before, Komamura. The only paths that I see with these eyes are the ones not dyed with blood. Those paths are the paths to justice. So whichever path I choose...Is justice."

"Justice without a great cause begets nothing more than slaughter. That same slaughter in the of a great cause...Is Justice."

"I was trying to chop off your head from the eye up. A little scratch counts as a miss."

"It must make you sick to know an underling like me is going to kill you."

"I knew it would. Someday we would cross swords and one of us will die."

"[after Hisagi thanks him] Aren't you clever? Is that supposed to be sarcastic?"

"[to Hisagi] Open my eyes? You? Open my eyes? You never change."

"[to Komamura] Don't make me laugh. Lord Aizen has given me something far more powerful than a bankai."

"[to Hisagi after stabbing him] I am afraid. Then and now, my fear has always been that I would die a Soul Reaper like you."

"[to Komamura as his Hollow mask cracked]: You said that deceiving my friends and subordinates and pursuing power is deprived. Then let me ask you this. A person enters into an organization for the purpose of revenge and in so doing, forgets his purpose amidst a life of peace and harmony. Isn't his pandering to that organization also a deprived? To my blind eyes, it is the same. So didn't you find it odd that one whose friend was killed would join the very same organization as the killer?"

"Suzumushi Hyakushiki, Grillar Grillo [Assumes his Resurrección form, opening his new form's eyes] I can see! I can see! I can see!!! Hahaha! So this is the sky!! So this is blood!! So this is the world!! ...And so that is what you look like, Komamura. You're not what I have expected...You're much more uglier."

"Awaken, Benihime."

"Bankai. Kannonbiraki Benihime Aratame."

"[To Ichigo] There is nothing but fear reflected in your sword. When you dodge, you're afraid of getting killed. When you attack, you're afraid of killing someone. Even when you try to protect someone, you're afraid of letting them die. Yes, your sword speaks to me only of absurd fear. What's necessary in a fight isn't fear. Nothing can be born of that. When you dodge, "I won't let them cut me." When you protect someone, "I won't let them die." When you attack, "I will kill them." Well, can't you see the resolve to kill you in my sword?"

"[To Yasutora Sado and Orihime Inoue] Your transformation is not a disease. You were just given the key to the door in front of you. There's no need to know the cause. No need for sorrow or sadness. What comes next is up to you.You can use your keys to open the door...or lock it tight. And if you do choose to open it... You can still decide not to pass through."

"Lately, I've been looking at these two guys only. As expected, I see flowers when there are women in the workplace... the atmosphere!"

"A warrior who has lost their ability to fight is only going to be in the way."

"[Urahara writes Ichigo a message in blood] Please meet at Urahara shop immediately. [After Ichigo freaked out] P.S: If you look at this message and think that it is the message of a person before his death... then you have no sense of humor."

"That wasn't very nice...I do believe you've killed my hat."

"I'll drive you into a corner and make you remember that attack."

"[Sees Yoruichi in cat form] Yes! It's Yoruichi! You've come back! Ha ha ha!! [Picks her up] Come here you little devil, let me take a look at you! You're my fuzzy little troublemaker, yes you are! Now who's your daddy? Hmm?"

"[To Yoruichi] It's alright! Kurosaki-san's potential is greater than mine!"

"Noooo, there's no way I, a mere handsome and sexy shopkeeper, could possibly have bankai!"

"Oh, it IS a chore. Risking your life and keeping busy are all the same!"

"If we want to witness something nobody has ever seen before, we'll create it ourselves. That's how us scientists are."

"If I prepare a thousand options, all I need is for one of them to work. So I make a habit of preparing anything and everything that shows any kind of promise. That's just how I work."

"Drink. Nozarashi."

"Sanity? Sorry. I don't remember having such a useless thing in the first place."

""Fighting together with your zanpakuto?" That's a line for a sickly loser bitch who can't fight with his own damn skills! IT AIN'T A LINE FOR YOU OR ME, ICHIGO!!"

"[Turning to face Yumichika] You seem awfully high-spirited...Huh!? [sees his 5th Seat officer, apparently not injured in any way] You...You won without getting hurt?!?"

"[To Yumichika] Quit shakin' your ass. That's frickin' nasty."

"Wonderful! After I kill you, come back to haunt me so I can kill you again!"

"Oh. You can destroy the ground with the reiatsu from your sword? Not bad."

"[to Tosen] Blah blah blah... You’re noisy. You just wanna say that you're a hero of justice, right?"

"[to Sajin Komamura] It matters not whether you look like a beast, but that you fight like one."

"In the end, whether you kill or get killed, you're just killing time."

"Death and pain are just a small price to pay for the enjoyment of battle!"

"My zanpakuto ain't got a name. It doesn't need one!"

"Ain't I? I'm literally hemorrhaging generosity."

"Playing comes first, you can work later!"

"Finished? It'll never be finished. A battle isn't like some stupid argument. As long as someone's still breathing, the fight isn't over."

"[Appearing as a vision to Ichigo] You want the reason...For fighting? Why don't you just accept it, Ichigo? You seek out the fights. You desire the power. Isn't that right, Ichigo? Everyone who searches for power without exception searches for battle. Do you fight in order to become more powerful? Or you want more power in order to fight? I don't know, and I don't care. The only thing I know for sure is that guys like us were born this way! We were born to fight, Ichigo!! Your instincts will keep leading you towards new battles. It's the only way to become stronger. It's the only way you have! If you want the power to control your enemy, take that sword in your hand and cut him down!! That's your only option! Fight, Ichigo! That's the only road that continues in front of you, and the only road that remains behind you!!"

"Oh, shut up. I was just thinkin'. With four arms, you're just gonna keep on blockin' my blade. That's no fun at all. So, while I was layin' on the ground, I was thinkin' about how to stop you blockin' all my attacks. But, you know...I couldn't think up a single good idea lying down there. So I figure...I'll just have to take out those arms, one by one."

"You idiot! There's always shadows wherever there's light!"

"Never admit defeat and ask for a quick death! Die first, then admit defeat! If you are defeated but didn't die, it just means you were lucky! At those times, think only about survival! Survive and think only about killing the one who failed to kill you!"

"[to Yammy after receiving his punch] I barely feel a thing. Now I'm sure you think I'm a big fly or something. But if you going to punch, you better put in some effort you great big worm."

"[To Retsu Unohana] Not criminals? That's rich, coming from you. You know damn well that if we weren't so damn powerful petty criminals is all the both of us would be!"

"Right after I was born, Soul Society ordered the mod souls to be destroyed... and the day after I was born I was already chosen to die! Everyday while I was in that pill I was afraid. As I watched my friends disappear each day. Even after I got lucky and escaped the storage among other pills, I feared being discovered and killed. As I trembled in fear I would think... life isn't something that should be taken from others. I was born like this! I should at least have the right to live and die freely! Whether it's humans or insects... or even us... it's the same. That's why I won't... kill anything."

"[Looks up Rukia's skirt] N-nice angle. I'm glad that I'm a stuffed animal. [Rukia abruptly stomps on Kon] AGGHHH!!! STOP!! STOP!! MY STUFFING'S COMING OUT!! MY STUFFING!!"

"[In Ichigo's body] Whew! Keeping my eyebrows knit together all the time is exhausting! How does Ichigo keep this face all the time!?"

"[in the anime, as he's running off after being stomped on and crying out in pain] WHY ME? All I wanted was a little kindness, and instead I keep running into people who want to step on me!!"

"[On seeing a girl with big boobs] They are the shape of happiness! Jiggle-jiggle, relax-relaxy and wha-wha!!"

"[About Yuzu Kurosaki missing Ichigo] How could you make this poor kid cry? What a worthless brother!""

"Claw out, Ashisogi Jizō."

"Bankai, Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō."

"A grenade that's thrown shouldn't come flying back."

"Killing you now will be as easy as strangling a baby."

"Oh, you know what I'm talking about. That stupid line that all you Quincies keep saying up until the moment you die. "By the honor of the Quincy I cannot do this." "By the honor of the Quincy I won't allow that." Quincy this, Quincy that! Every last one of you! It's so annoying!"

"[upon arriving at Szayel Aporro Granz's location] Arrancar, Arrancar, Arrancar... Espada! Hueco Mundo is quite the treasure trove."

"[to Szayel Aporro Grantz] There is nothing in this world that is truly "perfect". Though it may be a rather large cliche, it is still the truth. It is the ordinary people who look up to "perfection" as an ideal and seek after it. But in truth, what is this idea of "perfection" truly worth? Nothing. Not a single thing. I detest "perfection". To be "perfect" is to be unable to improve any further. There would be no scope for "creation", not a single gap in one's knowledge or one's ability. Do you see now? To true scientists like you and I, "Perfection" is tantamount to "despair". We aspire to reach greater levels of brilliance than ever before, but never, NEVER, to reach perfection. That is the paradox through which we scientists must struggle. Indeed, it is our duty to find pleasure in that struggle. In other words, the second you allowed yourself to spout a ridiculous word like "perfect", in truth, you had already been defeated. That is if you wish to be treated as a scientist."

"[to Nemu about Uryuu; Nemu is currently attempting to restrain Uryu so Mayruri can heal him, but she is unknowingly smothering him with her breasts] Yes, Nemu. Just smother him with those things. Worst case, he dies happy."

"[to Giselle Gewelle and her army of Shinigami zombies] Oh, dearie me. This is quite a pickle. Though they may be zombies now, these men are nevertheless members of the Gotei 13! How can a man such as myself, who may as well be the very essence of kindness made manifest and given a spinal cord and limbs, possibly bear to fight against my own former comrades-in-arms?! There is nothing for it. I will have to leave this fight to someone who has no such emotional ties."

"If I were the rain, that binds together the heavens and the earth, whom in all eternity will never mingle, would I be able to bind two hearts together?"

"I'm a terrible person, aren't I? "If only Kurosaki-kun would cheer up, I'd be happy." At least, I thought that was how I felt. Then Kuchiki-san came back and cheered Kurosaki-kun up. I should have been really happy, but... but... [Starts to cry] but instead I'm jealous of Kuchiki-san!"

"It's just that... It's just that not being able to fight with everyone makes me feel lonely...!! But what would make me feel worse than being lonely is getting in everyone's way... that would make me feel worse!! If it means getting in the way of Kurosaki-kun and everyone... then I would rather be lonely, very lonely."

"We don't look any different from those shinigami. We just dress differently."

"Kurosaki-kun... I'm weak, so it's always like I turn back to look to you for help. But now I won't turn back and I'll go forward. The next time we meet I won't look to you for help, Kurosaki-kun, I'll be able to fight on my own."

"Kurosaki-kun, you know I had a lot of things I wanted to do... I want to be a teacher... I also want to be an astronaut... and also make my own cake shop... I want to go to the sweets bakery and say 'I want one of everything'... Ohhhh, I wish I could live life five times over. Then I’d be born in five different places, and I’d stuff myself with different food from around the world... I’d live five different lives with five different occupations... and then, for those five times... I’d fall in love with the same person..."

"[thinking as Nel tells her to cheer for Ichigo] That's right. To begin with, I came here just thinking I wanted to protect everyone. But when I heard they had come to save me, I couldn't help but feel a little glad, just a bit in my heart. When I look at Kurosaki-kun in that mask, I think that he might not have come here to save me at all. Even though it's wrong, they shouldn't be going that far for me."

"[To Kūgo Ginjō] Sadistic? I don't mind you calling me that. If you don't want to get hurt, don't attack me when I say not to."

"[To Yasutora Sado] It's like, even though we're human, we can just spend time here in Hueco Mundo like it's normal now. Helping out all the Arrancar people, doing our best to help the Shinigami protect their home...it's just kind of nice, don't you think? I kind of wish things could stay like this forever. All of us together, helping each other out, trying to do what's best for everyone's worlds...and one day we look back and realize the start of the war just never came..."

"Roar, Zabimaru."

"Bankai! Hihiō Zabimaru!"

"Bankai, Sōō Zabimaru."

"You're just an overnight Shinigami. You couldn't put one scratch on us real ones."

"I knew it. You can't even ask your own zanpakutō its name."

"The stray dog in me is dyed into my bones.... All I do is howl at the moon, but I don't have the guts to bite...."

"Ichigo...I know this is shameful, but I'm begging you -- Rukia...Please save Rukia!!"

"I've always been afraid...Always been pretending to follow you closely, always pretending to sharpen my fangs, when the truth is...I'm scared to death just treading on your shadow."

"Don't just blame yourself. You're not tough enough to withstand everything. Split the load, to my shoulders, and to Ichigo's. Just stack it little by little. That's why we've become stronger. Believe in him, Rukia."

"Now, we head towards the battlefield! Believe, and our blades will not break! Believe, and our hearts will not bend! Though the roads we take may be different, our iron hearts will beat as one! Swear, that even if the Earth is torn asunder, we will live and return here once again!"

"If you wanna talk to me, do it while I cut you to pieces. But, I'm not gonna hold back one bit! Bankai!"

"I already told you...you can't kill me with that sword anymore!"

"Have you been out on the window ledge all this time, in plain sight? What if the neighbors report a silver haired elementary student burglar?"

"I followed like a stray dog at your heels. I killed for you, and died for you. But in truth, I was afraid to even step on your shadow."

"[To Mask De Masculine] Us villains are dirty by nature."

"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki."

"Bankai. Hakka no Togame."

"[to Ichigo] You can see me? Rather, you kicked me..."

"[to Ichigo] You... must become a shinigami."

"[to Ichigo] It's not Shinigami...It's Kuchiki Rukia."

"[on her gigai] Darn those stupid engineers! They're all legs and boobs when it's muscle I need!"

"Move one inch from here... just try coming after me... and I will never forgive you!"

"You are going to die...so why not just stay here and live a few seconds longer?"

"[On Kaien] It was a normal introduction, a normal scolding, a normal relationship between a superior and a subordinate. That normality... ...was what I desired the most."

"What does pride matter?! Compared to life, pride is nothing!"

"[about Kaien] No. No, I didn't do anything to deserve thanks. I ran away... because I was afraid to fight you. I came back... because I couldn't face my cowardice in the future. I stabbed you... because I couldn't bear to see you in pain. The only one I had saved... was my... ugly self."

"I'm not worth shedding blood over."

"[on Ichigo's fears] If it was defeat, you need to train harder! If it was about your companions, then you need to reseal those promises after becoming a more virtuous man! If it's about your hollow... then just become strong enough until you can shatter it in an instant! The "you" that still lives on in my heart, Ichigo... would do exactly that!"

"I even brought some little things to spruce up that dirty little closet! A lamp! A door bell! A back scrubber! A little window!"

"In battles, the ones who get in the way are not the ones that have no power. They are the ones that have no resolve for battle."

"...Of all the battles in Soul Society, no one was in the way. Not Ichigo, nor Chad, nor Uryu, and neither were you, Orihime. If there was any one of you missing, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"[after Aaroniero claims to be Kaien] Don't you ever say that name again!!!"

"I just remembered... where the heart truly lies... Kaien-dono's spirit body really does exist within you, but... Kaien-dono himself does not. And that's because Kaien-dono had already entrusted his heart to me!... Farewell, Espada."

"[To herself while struggling to move forward] You musn't die...you can't die...Rukia Kuchiki [Thinking about those who saved her] I know what it means to be alone. The loneliness of being a prisoner, the happiness of being saved by my friends, and my fear at all the pain they all went through to save me. [Thinks of Orihime] Do not worry, Orihime... I'm coming!"

"They say the mouth is the root of all misfortune."

"[To Ichigo Kurosaki] Ichigo... These fools don't understand that this is not nearly enough to make you despair. They don't know the caliber of despair you have already conquered! Show them, Ichigo! Despair cannot ever hope to stop you!"

"Bankai! Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō!"

"Bankai! Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō Dangai Jōe!"

"[during Tosen, Gin Ichimaru and Sosuke Aizen's escape from Soul Society] Get down here, Tosen! Why did you become a Shingami? Was it not for your deceased friend? Was it not to carry out justice!? Where is your justice now!?"

"Let us commence, Zaraki! Your favorite game of carnage!!"

"[thinking at the grave of Tosen's friend] O' anonymous friend of Tousen... If you had been there...What would you have said to stop him?"

"Don't retreat, Tetsuzaemon. No matter what. You stand firm right behind me!"

"[to Choe Neng Poww, as the giant Arrancar charges a Cero after making a comment on Komamura's strength] I see...Then I shall stop that yawn in its tracks. Bankai."

"You are right. I have not yet introduced myself. I am Captain of the Seventh Division Komamura Sajin. And though it shames me, I am just as you say -- A meager worm of a man."

"You destroyed those Menos Grandes. That's enough for me! I have decided to fight by your side! I won't accept no as an answer, masked ones!"

"[to Tōsen after stopping him from attacking Shinji] It's the opposite of what happened before. I never thought the time would come when I was protecting someone else from you...""

"Back then. I felt a kernel of untruth in your words. You talked about "The world she loves" many times. But made not a single mention of "The world I love"."

"[To Kaname Tōsen] That is why I swore to myself that I would become a true friend to you. If you bore great sadness, I would take it upon myself. If I obtained great joy, I would share it with you. If you strayed from your path, I would scold you. If you made terrible mistakes, I would forgive you. If the world scorned you, I would be your shelter. Somehow, I would give this man who had lost his love for the world the power to love it once more."

"[To his great-grandfather] When I was unable to bear the burden of living in shadow...When I abandoned my own family and fled, not caring for the shame I brought upon myself...It was Genryūsai-dono who took me in. That man, to whom I owe the greatest debt, has had his own life cut short at the hands of these Quincy. I have a duty...to avenge this humiliation!!"

"[To Bambietta Basterbine] I have not thrown my life away. I have merely gambled it. Genryūsai-dono gambled his own life on this battle. I see no reason why I should not do the same. From the moment I set foot on this battlefield, I had already left my life behind!"

"Flower Wind Rage and Flower God Roar, Heavenly Wind Rage and Heavenly Demon Sneer. Katen Kyōkotsu!"

"At this point, I'm sure everyone else is far enough away... Nanao-chan, I'm sorry if you get caught in this as well... Bankai. Katen Kyōkotsu: Karamatsu Shinjū."

"I placed this blade of grass in my mouth thinking I'd look cool. But it must be poison 'cause ith makinth ma mouth numb."

"[To Starrk, about Lilynette] That child with you...Can you send her somewhere else? I can't really go all out with her there."

"Only underlings get caught up in matters of style and lose the battle. A captain can't afford such indulgences. Don't try to be a good kid. Whether you owe somebody or they owe you. The moment you start a fight, you're in the wrong either way."

"[To Sōsuke Aizen] I guess I'm just not much of a listener when it comes to guys. I get bored pretty quickly."

"[To the Gotei 13 regarding his freeing of Aizen] Honor? Is that what you are all talking about? Then let us speak instead of our duty to the Gotei 13. Honor will not protect the world. I do not believe that using evil to defeat evil is itself an evil act."

"[To Lille Barro] You'd be wise to remember who it is you're talking to... I am Captain Commander of the Gotei 13... Kyōraku Shunsui."

"Sting All Enemies to Death, Suzumebachi."

"Bankai! Jakuhō Raikōben!"

"Why didn't you take me with you!? Yoruichi-sama?"

"The one hundred years we were apart were meant to bring me power and make you weak! Yoruichi!"

"You know the power of my Zanpakutō, Suzumebachi. If someone gets hit twice in the same spot... They die!"

"Showing your back in a battle? You've become a fool, Yoruichi!"

"I'll always be there to fight along side you. I promise!"

"Of my five older siblings, two died on the first mission, then two more on the second. Then on the sixth mission, the last one... Died as well. I felt sad, somewhat, but more than that, I felt ashamed of their incompetence."

"I thought I told you. If you see your allies losing, that's your chance. Don't step between them. Take the enemy down from behind. And if the enemy's so strong, you can't even do that, then just watch your ally be killed. That's what it means to be Special Forces."

"I'll show you a real assassination. No...Maybe you won't even be able to see it."

"If you see your allies losing, that's your chance. Don't step between them. Take the enemy down from behind. And if the enemy is so strong you can't even do that, then just watch your ally be killed. That's what it means to be Onmitsukidō."

"[To BG9] And you thought I would leave it that way forever? After my battle with Yoruichi-sama, I honed my Shunkō to completion And since then, I have pushed my ability to the limits, taking the technique further still. My Shunkō is "wind". I have perfected a method of causing the Reiatsu I release to flow like a vortex around my body indefinitely. As such, once I have activated my Shunkō, I am now able to maintain it for as long as proves necessary. You have my thanks. If you had not stolen my Bankai, I may never have honed my Shunkō to this level of mastery."

"[To Hitsugaya, after stabbing Hinamori] Aww...You found her. Sorry, I didn't want you to find out this way...No. I should have chopped her into little pieces and hidden them away where you would never find them."

"I had no intention of deceiving anyone. It's just that none of you could understand...My true self."

"Don't use such strong words -- It makes your weakness all the more apparent."

"Admiration is the emotion furthest from comprehension."

"It's very difficult for me to step on an ant without crushing it."

"'No longer the Aizen you know,' hm...? I'm afraid you've been deluded, Abarai-kun...The 'Aizen Sōsuke' you knew never existed to begin with."

"In my eyes, there is no difference between wiping away one speck of dust or two."

"Oh? I thought I severed your body from the waist-down, but...It seems the cut was too shallow."

"Thus there were no breakthroughs, as other researchers were bound by obstacles such as ignorance and morals."

"No one stands on the top of the world. Not you, not me, not even gods. But the unbearable vacancy of the throne in the sky is over. From now on...I will be sitting on it."

"[After Gin offers to kill some Arrancars] No thanks, for that would be boring."

"Good evening, Espada. There has been an enemy attack. But first...Let us brew some tea."

"No matter what may happen...As long as you walk by my side...There shall be no enemy that can stand before us."

"[to Grimmjow, as the Sexta tries to leave a meeting to hunt down intruders] Grimmjow, I'm thankful for your intentions, but I've not yet finished speaking. Please go back to your seat... Well? I didn't hear your answer...Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez. [Aizen releases an extraordinary amount of spirit energy, forcing Grimmjow to his hands and knees, panting heavily.] I see you understand, Grimmjow."

"[To Orihime, after she had being taken from Ichigo once again] A girl like you should smile more often. Overcast skies blot out the sun, and that always brings people's spirits down. So why not let the sun shine...For just a while longer?"

"[To Barragan, before he was recruited by Aizen] Isn't it ironic, king of Hueco Mundo? Dressed in black and poised to attack, you look just like a shinigami."

"To trust in another is the same as to rely upon that person. Reliance is for the weak. It is of no use to us. It is the nature of all living things to find some being greater than themselves and place their trust in that being, following it blindly. In order to escape from the pressure of that trust, those beings seek a still greater entity in which to believe, and those greater beings too seek still greater, still stronger beings to follow. This is how all kings come to be, and this is how all Gods are born. Do not trust in me yet, Hirako Shinji. I will take my time to teach you the nature of the God whom you face. Then, you shall believe."

"Seek not beauty in battle. Seek not beauty in death. Consider not your own life. If you wish to protect that which must be protected, then strike while your opponent's back is turned."

"[To Kisuke Urahara] Those are the words of a defeated man!! A victor must speak not of the current state of the world, but of how it should rightfully be!"

"[To Shunsui Kyōraku] I must say... You truly are an entertaining man. Would I like to breathe fresh air, you ask? Would that be the fresh air of a Soul Society being summarily crushed by Yhwach?"

"[To Yhwach regarding their battle] This is not about benefit. My only purpose has always been to crush all who seek to control me."

"Yhwach, the world that you desired to create may indeed have been devoid of fear. However, in a world without the fear of death, men could not face that fear and seek out hope. Certainly, they could keep walking onward by merely living, but that would be very different from walking onward while conquering their own fears. That is why we give the act of walking onward a special name. We call it 'courage'."

"Sit Upon the Frozen Heavens! Hyōrinmaru!!"

"Bankai! Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!"

"[to Gin Ichimaru] If you make Hinamori shed even one drop of blood, I'll kill you."

"No, not yet, now that you've made me this serious. Regret as much as you damn well want!!"

"Dummy. I'm not gonna dwell on what happened forever. All that junk... it's the furthest thing on my mind. You should especially quit worrying about it and get some more sleep. Hurry up and get rid of your Panda eyes, got it?"

"Stand back? [To Kira after Gin asked him to stand back] No, Kira...Run. Run until you're out of my sight, and keep running. Otherwise...I can't guarantee you won't get dragged into this and be killed."

"[to Momo, smiling slightly] How many times do I have to tell you? It's not Hitsugaya-kun, it's Hitsugaya-taichō."

"[To Ichigo after he calls him 'Tōshiro'] Bastard, you said that on purpose, didn't you?"

"We are all like fireworks. We climb, shine, and always go our separate ways and become further apart. But even if that time comes, let's not disappear like a firework, and let's continue to shine...Forever."

"[to Luppi]Hyourinmaru is the strongest of all ice-type Zanpakutoes. Your weapon may have eight arms, but mine is all the water in the atmosphere! Sennen Hyourou!! [causes several pillars of ice to form, before using them to crush Luppi] Sorry. Eight wasn't enough."

"I didn't come here to fight! I came here to hack at you violently!"

"I swear on the pride of the Quincy, I will kill you!"

"Ah, Kurosaki. I'm glad to see you've finally realized the importance of a cape."

"[to an arrogant projectile-specialist Shinigami] Apparently, on this side, "ultimate master" means a windbag with diarrhea of the mouth."

"Calling me a coward, eh? At least say it so I can hear it..."

"[lying about coming to save Rukia] Just passing by. No big deal.... Well, if you must know, I felt a sudden urge to go to Sunflower Seams, that 24-hour dressmaking shop. There's a branch near here. That's where I was headed at this late hour. I certainly didn't bring this bag with me just so I would have an excuse for suddenly leaving the house because I sensed the spirit energy of a shinigami, all right?"

"[after Mayuri Kurotsuchi shows the picture of a vivisected Quincy, while mentioning how the man shouted his student's name while being experimented on] Do you want me to tell you the name you can't remember? The name of his student was Ishida...Uryu Ishida. This man is Soken Ishida, he was my teacher...As well as my grandfather!!"

"[to Mayuri Kurotsuchi] It's a good thing Orihime isn't here. I wouldn't want her to see what I'm about to do to you."

"That's right...If I'm the first one here, I can save Kuchiki-san. Kurosaki must've wanted to rescue her himself...If I did it, he'd get really pissed...Heheheh..."

"Seele Schneider isn't a sword. [strings the weapon on his bow] A Quincy's only weapons...Are bows and arrows. [fires the Seele Schneider]"

"The right to choose life or death lies with the victor. And the victor of this battle is me."

"[to Renji] I assure you my gratitude is sincere."

"[to Szayel Aporro Grantz] Hasta aqui. It's over, Szayel Aporro Grantz. [detonates a massive attack, with Szayel Aporro right at the center]"

"[to Yammy Rialgo, as the Espada grips the edge of a hole in the floor] Mala Suerte. I pity you. [shoots the floor just before Yammy's hand, causing him to fall] Oh, and I broke the pillars on every floor on the way up. So, you'll probably fall all the way to the bottom."

"[To Ulquiorra Cifer] I am calm. That's why I can fight you!"

"[to Arrancar Gantenbainne Mosqueda] It seems that my power is more akin to yours than that of a Shinigami or a Quincy."

"I don't believe that an absolute power really exists in any world. Power is unstable. It changes constantly. Small differences will always appear, as one has between you and I. So the one who widens that gap will be the winner!"

"[in reply to Shunsui Kyōraku] It's true, I know nothing about her (Rukia). It might not be quite enough for me to risk my own life over. But...Ichigo wants to save her. That's reason enough for me."

"I will defeat him. It may cost my life to do it. However, if I survive, I'll make a promise. The same promise as that time, on the same thing as that time."

"Ichigo...We can't...Watch any longer...Each other's backs...I just can't...I just can't help you out anymore."

"Can't you tell, Aizen? You no longer have a place to run away to."

"[to Ichigo] You shy, little boy."

"It's been a while... Byakuya-bo."

"In three days, I will make this boy stronger than you."

"Do you remember the first time you walked? No. So you weren't conscious of it. Then why did you walk? Everyone was born knowing how to walk. It's called instinct. That's what this boy reminds me of. He knows he can achieve bankai, so he continues."

"Are you sure you don't want to see this smooth skin of a young woman? This will be the last time...."

"No matter how many times I do this, it results in a wonderful reaction from you, Ichigo!"

"[thinking after Soifon asks why she didn't take her with her] You've gotten stronger since the last time we were together, Soifon."

"Kisuke and I used to play here when we were kids. We modeled the one under his shop after this one. It was our own secret playground."

"That's enough, Soifon. You remind me of myself. I even think of you sometimes as my little sister."

"[When she hops into the bath with Ichigo, but in cat form] What? Are you a little disappointed? Come on, be honest. You are, aren't you? You little pervert!"

"Grind! Pantera!"

"[to Ichigo] Don't forget my name, Soul Reaper, and you better pray that you never hear it again! Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez.....because the next time you hear my name, you'll be a dead man....I promise."

"[about Ulquiorra Cifer, after he takes out Ichigo] I'll teach him what happens when you steal someone else's prey."

"[to Ichigo] You're a Soul Reaper and I'm a Hollow. Whichever side loses will be massacred! It's been that way for over a thousand years! Who needs any more reason than that?! Now bring it! The last man standing gets to go home alive! That's all there is to it!"

"[to Ichigo after becoming a Visored during battle in Hueco Mundo] That's more like it... Those eyes i hate those dammed eyes, AND THATS WHY YOU GOTTA DIE!"

"[to Ichigo] I don't care if you're a human, a Soul Reaper or even a Hollow! I'll crush anybody who looks down on me! And you, Kurosaki, will be the first to go!"

"[to Luppi before killing him] See you later, Former 6....!"

"[To Orihime] I've repaid my debt to you. Now, you're gonna accompany me on a little errand."

"[About his Hollow group prior to them becoming Arancar as he eats pieces of them] You sicken me. You're all just a bunch of bloody cowards. Alright, I'll eat all of you. You'll see how it feels on the next level, as a part of my own flesh. I am... I am the king!"

"[To Apache, Mila-Rose, and Sun-Sun] Don't worry about it. This is the battle of an Espada in his Resurrección form. It's not unreasonable for you to be frightened. That's your primal fear. Value it."

"[About Ichigo and Grimmjow's battle] However, is the one he's fighting truly Human? I'd never think that this volume, concentration and catastrophic nature of his Reiatsu would be that of a Human's. It seems more like I'm watching a fight between two Espada."

"[To Tōshirō Hitsugaya] The moment you arrive at the idea that my water will become your weapon, you must also realize that the opposite may be possible as well. That is the iron law of battle."

"[To Tōshirō Hitsugaya] Our existence is built upon the noble sacrifices made. Instead, you fall in battle from trying to protect your subordinates. My subordinates were not simply defeated. They left behind markers for me, on how to carry on the fight. If I had lost, my subordinates' sacrifices would have all been for nothing. I hold within me the resolve of those who sacrificed their lives."

"No world is without sacrifices. But if we produce casualties, we would also sustain casualties of our own."

"[her thoughts after Aizen betrayed her] No world is without sacrifices. Doesn't he realize it? This sea of blood covered in ashes... we refer to this hell as the world."

"[to Orihime] That's right, girl. I have business with you. You can even regenerate injuries that extensive? Follow me, girl. Don't speak. You will say "yes." Reply any other way, I... won't kill "you." But I'll kill your "friends." Do not ask any questions. Do not say anything. You have no rights. What you hold in your hand is the rope to the guillotine above your friends' necks. Nothing more. Understand, girl. This is not a negotiation, it's an order. Aizen desires your powers. I've been instructed to bring you back unharmed. I'm only going to say it once more. Come with me."

"Therefore let me inform you...All of your dreams are to be thrown away."

"Imprison, Murcielago."

"[To Orihime, when she refuses to eat] Shall I force it down your throat? Or would you rather be strapped down and given IV's?"

"And it seems you've acquired a new power. However, is that all you are capable of achieving with it? This is the end. You will no longer interfere. The sun has already set in our hands."

"I was not capable of stopping it even while using both hands. That surprised me a little. Was that your full power? Well, it seems to be. Disappointing."

"Ichigo Kurosaki, you have no chance of defeating me. Even if you somehow manage to defeat me, there will be three more powerful than myself for you to fight. It doesn't matter if you stand up again a thousand times. The road to victory does not exist."

"It seems I have overestimated you quite a bit. Your evolution did not even satisfy my expectations. This is the end."

"[To Orihime] What would you have me say? 'Don't worry, I'm sure he's still alive'? Ridiculous. I am not here to comfort you. I don't understand: why are you so fixated on life and death? At any rate, your friends will soon be annihilated. So what if that's one step closer? They should have seen this coming from the start. If they couldn't see it coming, the fault lies in their own foolishness. Laughing them off as a group of idiots would be sufficient. Why can't you do that? If it were me, and my friends entered Hueco Mundo without first gauging their strength, I'd be infuriated by their stupidity."

"[To Yammy] They're all trash... Kill them all."

"[To Orihime] Hearts, you say? You Humans are always so quick to speak of such things. As though you carry your hearts in the very palms of your hands. But this eye of mine perceives all. There is nothing that it overlooks. If this eye cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. That is the assumption under which I have always fought. What is this "heart"? If I tear open that chest of yours, will I see it there? If I smash open that skull of yours, will I see it there?"

"[To Ichigo] Oho. So you can withstand my Cero even without your mask...You've gotten stronger. Is it because you defeated Grimmjow? Or...Is it because of her? [Motions to Orihime] Or maybe because of your friends, still fighting down below. That girl is already one of us. Even if you manage to rescue her, that won't change. Rescuing her...Is meaningless."

"[Displaying his Ressurection power] Do not lose your composure, do not break your stance, stretch out your awareness, and do not let your guard down for even a second."

"[Assuming his Segunda Etapa form] Ichigo Kurosaki, those are the words of someone who does not know despair. If you do not know it, then I shall enlighten you. This is the form of true despair."

"[When Ichigo refuses to give up] I'm telling you it's pointless!"

"[To Ichigo] No matter how similar your appearance and techniques may be to those of an Arrancar, their power is as far apart as heaven and earth. When a Soul Reaper or Human wishes to gain power, imitating Hollows is an appropriate course of action. However, because they are imitating, Humans will never be equal to Hollows."

"You are a fool, Ichigo Kurosaki. You challenge an opponent whose strength terrifies you and think that you can win. It is beyond my comprehension. If it is due to what you Humans call a 'heart', it is because of that heart that you suffer injuries and it is because of that heart that you will lose your life."

"[To Orihime] You're just in time. Watch closely. This is the moment that the man you've put your hope in will lose his life."

"[To Orihime] Am I frightening... woman?"

"[To Hollow Ichigo, who's about to fire a point-blank Cero]...I see. No mercy? How very Hollow like. I don't mind, I have lost to you. I no longer have any meaning. DO IT."

"[While dying, to Ichigo] Kill me. Make it quick. I no longer have the strength left in me to even walk. If you do not cut me down now, then this will go unsettled for eternity."

"[Final Words] I see. This...Yes...This thing in my hand is the heart?"

"[to Riruka] All throughout history... Be it royals or samurai or whatever... This world has always been ruled by minorities! You're not the ones in the wrong. It's this world that's become too lenient towards idiots. It's time we changed all that. This time, we're gonna be the ones at the top of the food chain."

"Why? I will crush the Soul Reapers who betrayed me! You were supposed to tell me that that was wrong. Won't you... even give me that? Why? Those eyes... are the eyes of someone who is trying to understand me! To stand where I stand... and stay by me shoulder to shoulder! Will you- after all of that... still deny everything that I am!? Ichigo?"

"[Final words] Ichigo. If you had become a Substitute Soul Reaper before me, would our point of view be the opposite now? Would you have become... like me?"

"Sincerity with respect to yourself! No matter what your objective… no matter who you are… if you are going to do something or not do something, that is a promise to yourself. And the one who keeps the promise, or breaks the promise, is you. No one else can be burdened with holding you to a promise that’s made to yourself. ~~XXXHoLic Vol. 1 pg. 145"

"Family is other people. No matter how close your blood relationship is…no matter what your relationship may be…anyone other than you is not you! And so you have to think it over and decide for yourself! Take away other people’s wants and needs, and decide if this is something that is necessary for you! It may cause hardships to others…but you want it. That’s your free will right there! But you ignore that and decide based on someone else’s advice, because decency demands it, because people say it’s awful, you will fail to quit. No one could succeed that way! You don’t understand what you’re trying to do. With that as your background, how do you expect to make a promise to yourself? But the opposite way…there are risks there, too, of course. If you decide to take the action that best suits you, there will be people who won’t understand…people will be saddened by your actions. ~~XXXHoLic Vol. 1 pg. 146-147"

"Likewise, both Syaoran and Watanuki differed in name and appearance. It was as their parents wished it... in order to avoid erasing either of the two... Syaoran [Li] changed his face, and even his family name. Through that name, this child [Watanuki] was kept hidden. ~~ Chapter 167"

"If he wasn't here... if nobody but Syaoran existed in this world, would his parents not have died? That thought and regret beckoned spirits to that child, making him choose an unhappier path. ~~ Chapter 168"

"Our relationship has already been formed. No matter how trivial a meeting and the incidents that follow may seem a relationship is made even if it is just for a short amount of time.

"Sorry. I just can't stand... when people worry about me."

"Let's go make some memories!"

"I'd never... make memories with some guy I don't even know. But you're Seimei's friend, Soubi. To me... that means a lot!"

"I don't think that "being myself" is a bad thing, really... but... the fact that I'm not "Ritsuka"... is my sin."

"This is a sin for which I deserved to be punished."

"I don't like people who just blindly obey others."

"[When asked "What do you like, then?"] Big Macs."

"A horrible name... what the hell is that? who decided that?"

"You can't love... just because you were ordered to. That's not right...!!"

"I'd definitely like to know!! Who killed my brother? Any ideas? Because I'm going to kill him."

"If you come near me... someone might burn you to death in my chair, too."

"If it doesn't matter whether I laugh or cry... then I won't smile anymore. It just makes me tired!"

"I... I'm not... going to kill. I won't kill!"

"When you say that... and kiss me... I'll end up believing you. Soubi. Why are you... why are you tearing me up inside like this?!"

"I'll keep my promise. Will you be friends with me?"

"Don't say it's impossible. I hate that word."

"You can't always answer the phone, that's impossible. Don't promise something you can't do."

"Why do you always have to come in through the window?! It's not the front door!"

"Soubi... do you like pain? People like that are called masochists."

"Don't call me. I don't want to see you. I... I'm sick of thinking about you all the time."

"People who hurt others... break the real rules, the rules that matter. You'll pay for this with your lives!"

"What's the matter, Ritsuka? Why are you crying?"

"I hate butterflies. I hate them for being beautiful, I hate them for being easy to cach. That they have pins on their bodys and become specimens is what I hate the most"

"Finally... I have come here, Mana. Finally, I am at the starting line. "Don't stop walking. Keep moving forth." I don't care about fate. I have chosen this path myself. I promise... whatever the cost, I won't stop walking. I will keep walking until I die."

"Because I am a small man, my heart is moved by what’s in front of my eyes, not by what the world needs. I just can’t abandon what’s there in front of me. I want to protect everything I can!"

"Kanda, although what you said is true, I want to become a destroyer who can save."

"The injuries... If I live, I can heal... Although scars will remain."

"God? I don't care about that. I...! I've made my own oaths! To myself, that I would destroy the Akuma...!! To my friends, that I would fight alongside them! To this world, that I would save it! To my father, that I would keep walking until I died... I MADE AN OATH TO THEM ALL!! Open up...! Damn it... This is the only path I can take... so I can feel alive."

"I will fight for the Akuma, and live for the Akuma. That's what I decided. The only things that I treasured... were the Akuma. And yet, I lost sight of that. They became so dear to me... that I lost track of them. Innocence... My left is for the Akuma. My right... is for the humans. Both define me. Both are important to me... so now, I will answer you. These humans... and these Akuma... Bring them salvation!"

"Tyki Mikk. There is something about us Exorcists that you do not understand... You think Exorcists are mere humans and by destroying their anti-Akuma weapon which is the Innocence... they will become powerless since they are mere humans. But the opponents you should really be afraid of are those humans."

"This path that I'm walking down... It's not something that was chosen for me, is it...? It's not, right, Tim...?"

"When Mana said he loved me, did he mean me? Or...? Which was it...?"

"Die? I… I cannot die before I find that person."

"This coat isn’t a pillow for the wounded…!! It’s the uniform of an Exorcist!!!"

"There are sacrifices that must be made, rookie."

"You're naive. We're destroyers, not saviors."

"I said I'd kill him. Now get lost. Or should I start with you guys first?"

""Noahs are immortal", huh...? I wonder who came up with that crap...? People die. As long as they remain humans..."

"Your bark's worse than your bite, beansprout."

"Admit it, you don't work at all, you just fool around...!"

"IDIOT BEANSPROUT!!"

"This world is dark and it's so hard to breathe... but in this instant, when I laughed along with you, I felt that breathing just got a little easier."

"Thank you, Allen Walker. You being here helped me."

"I'm going with you... I'm saying, I'm going to be escorting you until we get to where that beansprout is."

"I was the on who awakened him into a Noah"

"I didn't care what happened to The Order. So during the mission in Paris... when I caught a glimpse of that guy's Noah transformation I ignored it. Without even reporting it to Komui... I just let it be"

"But now... This regret simply won't let me die peacefully."

"If there's nobody left, even if the real world is saved, I will be destroyed... So please don't die. Please don't go away anymore... For that, I... I..."

"We can't just go back from here. If we turn back now, we are trampling down on the lives of those that got us this far."

"...We will. We will definitely win. I swear."

"Please, God I hate so much. Grant me power. For the first time, I want the Innocence so much."

"Innocence... Please take these feelings and change them into strength to protect everbody. If you do that... I will follow you. I will follow you till the day it all ends. Wherever you take me. But... but... Please, at the end... At the end, you must... promise me you'll let me return to my brother's side."

"I don't know, yeah? I'm suspicious of everything. I'm always suspicious of everyone around me. Someone I met yesterday could be an Akuma today. 'Cause that's the type of thing we're up against. You should understand that, Allen. We are at an overwhelming disadvantage. We're different from you, yeah? Not having that convenient eye. Akuma are mixed in with the humans. The other Exorcists and I... we end up looking at all humans as the Earl's minions."

"We're not their allies... We're only involved... in order to record history. A Bookman... has no need for a heart."

"The time spent in the Order passed on. I soon came to a point where I didn't know whether my smiling face was a lie or not."

"I'm creating Akuma for people's sake."

"There's a famous saying in the East. Even with a crappy gun, shoot a lot and you'll hit something. I have a hell of a lot of Akuma."

"You're so nice, Allen~ You hate me, don't you? Don't shoot. Your hand is also a weapon, Allen. But an Exorcist crying because an Akuma disappeared is a big no-no. If you act like that, no one will like you. Let's play again sometime, Allen."

"I guess Noah's can cry."

"You know, though I like Allen, my family is also special to me... This kind of feeling is the same as yours, Allen. Don't move. I am not quite myself at the moment. Do you want to see holes open up in the bodies of your companions?"

"If I'm not careful, I won't be able to go back. I don't want to lose it. Just... the white side of me... and the black side of me... having both of them is what makes it so enjoyable!"

"Haha... He was my enemy... Shouldn't I kill him?"

"We only look immortal... because you guys are weak!!!"

"As expected, you've gotta be evil to have fun."

"A human huh, ... when you're like that...you really don't seem like the evil man who made the entire world his enemy,....Duke Millenium."

"In this world, the only organisms that get cursed are humans."

"Wait Lenalee! Komurin is not evil! The coffee is evil!! Hate the crime, not the person. Hate the coffee, not Komurin, Lenalee."

"Don't wallow in the pain... Think... only about victory...!!"

"It's not a sacrifice. We're helping each other so we can live."

"Don't try to fight the Earl with hatred."

"Let's overlook everything you did to the members of the Order... I'm not that cruel a man, after all. But then... you went and messed up my clothes."

"Hey, Allen. I've never asked you before, but do you like Tim? I said I was leaving him in your care... but I'd always meant to give him to you."

"What would you do if you told you you'll have to kill someone you love when you become the 14th...?"

"In the end, do you always have to sacrifice something to protect something else?"

"A path is something you create as you walk it. The ground you've trodden hardens, and that's what forms your path. You're the only one who can create your own path. So stop wearing that mask of "Mana". Walk, on your own. If you haven't given up yet, that is."

"Miranda Lotto: I've never had anyone say "thank you" to me. That means I've never been helpful to anyone. I wanted somebody to say "thank you" to me and I wanted them to accept me."

"My existence was nothing more to her than a stone by the side of the road. I wasn't enough to fill her belly. Or perhaps I didn't even get reflected in her eyes. I couldn't even hate the beast that killed Teresa. It was me, overcome by fear, that I could not forgive."

"You said I should have forgotten everything and lived as a human, but... there's no way I could do that. At that time, Teresa was everything to me. Everything I lost... my life, my voice, even my joy in living... Teresa gave those back to me. Teresa gave me everything. So I had no choice but to move forward. I wasn't strong enough to forget all that and continue living."

"Don't be so quick to throw away your life. No matter how disgraceful or embarrassing it may be, you need to keep struggling to find your way out until the very end."

"I... I'm so happy I got to travel with you, Clare. My family got killed. The town shunned me. They even cast me out. Everything I loved, everything I knew, I lost it all at once. That's why I'm happy. I'm happy I got to travel with you. To have someone to be with. You always said you weren't kind. But you were kinder to me than anyone. That's why I don't want anybody else. I just want to be with you. That's why... if you die, I'm going with you."

"Well, you all threw me out of town so it's not like I was expecting a warm welcome. But treating me like a Yoma? Now that's mean. Seven years ago I lost my family to Yoma, but... it seems to me that all of you have lost something deep down too."

"Even if it's a rule... whether or not I follow it is up to me. Whether I obey the rule or break it and get killed by my comrades... is my choice."

"This little girl, who's not even half my size... taught me that tears can flow even from these silver eyes."

"Say your prayers, wretches. Filth like you is even lower than Yoma. I'm going to kill... every last one of you."

"You can come after me as many times as you want. I'll cut you down every time."

"[Last words] All right then, I'll put you out of your misery. [Her hands are sliced off] Eh?"

"Remember, you have comrades. Us, who will support you with the things you can't do all by yourself. That's what a team is about, Commander Undine."

"Look at us, Miria. These are the lives you saved. Nobody is cursing you... As long as we understand the feelings of those who died, it will be alright. We were really fortunate to have you as our leader... that is what I believe from the bottom of my heart."

"Don't you think it's beautiful? That rosy red that spreads only where the body is wounded. Shall I paint you in that lovely red... little boy?"

"Really! How marvellous! You two are simply marvellous. Which one of you should I kill? Which one of you would be more fun to watch as you wail in agony?"

"This is called the "Rippling Sword". "Rippling Ophelia"... Great name, don't you think? But it's not too well known yet. Because most of the people who've seen it are dead."

"The idea that you can’t die yet because you still have something to protect... that is the foolish illusion of the weak."

"[Last words] Well done. You win. As promised, I entrust you with everything. After all I can't do any more at this point anyways. Man, this really annoys me. I really hate people, who put their life on the line like you. Now quickly, finish me off. If you don't hurry, I'll regenerate again. Since you will be fighting in my stead, I won't stand for it if you lose, understand?"

"Seeing the same thing at that time and place, either moving forward or running away... I suppose that's what separates those who are fit for battle from those who are not."

"Teresa had plenty of chances to kill Priscilla. The reason she didn't was that after being with you, Teresa's heart lost the toughness of a warrior. The Teresa I knew would have dispatched Priscilla without hesitation at their first encounter. After she met you, she was no longer fit for battle. That's why she died. That's the truth. But I think Teresa was happy."

"Live, Clare! Your staying alive is the only proof that Teresa ever existed."

"Being thrown away by humans, devoted to them even though you aren't one of them... and once they are finished with you, they have you end your life yourself... and not even an ounce of gratitude for all that. On the contrary: for your whole life you are hated and reviled. It really is idiotic. We are a different species after all. Once you start seeing things that way, it all becomes very easy to accept. Do humans shed tears for the birds, pigs, cows and sheep that become their food? Of course they don't. They are a different species after all. That is nature. That is the truth. That is Providence. Your way of thinking up to now was the warped one."

"My goal isn't your death. I will just torture you, make you awaken and then make you my friends!"

"Sorry... I really... want to let you savor your moment of glory a little longer. But I really can't be having this. After all is said and done... he is still my man after all."

"Looks like most of what you say immediately vanishes from your head once you say it. I really envy you for a brain with such a lively metabolism."

"Don't cry. It will make your face even uglier."

"This might come a little late but... you people make me sick."

"Oh... Hello, Irene. What's wrong you seem to be missing an arm. Ah... [Lifts up the arm in her left hand] Here it is. You can have it back. [Tosses the arm in front of Irene] You shouldn't leave things lying around."

"The impression of the small child I hugged when I first met Miata is long gone. Instead, there is something that can easily rip apart the monsters I am no match for, a presence beyond those monsters... To be honest... Miata scares me the most..."

"There's no meaning in me trying to destroy them. I'd much rather they destroy themselves."

"Strange... to begin with, all I ever intended... was to use Priscilla to bring everything under my control, and yet... somewhere during that time, watching Raki mature with Priscilla by his side... I actually found myself becoming contented with nothing more than the bare minimum of meals... I don't want to die... Even if that makeshift family... was all nothing more than an illusion, doomed to fall apart someday... I really wish... really wish it could have lasted even the tiniest bit longer..."

"While we are half-human, half-youma, most of our heart belongs to the human side. Hence, when we see our comrades who trained and fought with us as warriors get hurt, we get angry as if it affected us personally. When we see one of them die, we grieve as if it had been a friend. The lone warrior that marched in here all by herself gave us strength and weakness, despair and hope, all at once. That's exactly why anyone who was there was strongly driven by the single thought that they mustn't kill that person. With all due respect, the cause of the organizations defeat is that they knew too little about our hearts as humans."

"Is a girl with a mechanical body ordinary? I’m super strong and can kill a man with my bare hands. I do bleed, but the pain goes away fast. Since I’m a cyborg and have to protect Jose… I can’t be an ordinary girl."

"Every morning, when I wake up, the first thought I have is: “I wonder if I still have my body.” What a relief! It still works. I can’t describe in words how wonderful it is to have a body that works. I love my life at the Social Welfare Agency very much."

"It’s not like I hate Hilshire, it’s all the rest of you irresponsible adults I can’t stand!"

"Death is our fate. But we don’t have to just accept it. There’s no reason for memories to just disappear into nothing without coming back."

"I enjoy cooking, painting and playing music. There are so many books to read here… But sometimes, the most fun comes from just doing nothing. I think someone close to me taught me that a long time ago. Maybe my father…"

"I love the dusk. The setting sun is full of melancholy. It’s like an eternal farewell."

"Raballo: I’ve been training you to look after yourself. But seeing how you’ve become… it’s got me worried. You can’t just pull the trigger, Claes. You have to think. And unless you’re on a mission, you mustn’t use force. When you have those glasses on, I want you to be good, alright? That’s not an order. It’s a promise between you and me."

"Flanca: People with power have an obligation to use their abilities."

"John Doe: Teaching is fun. It’s like making a little copy of yourself to leave behind."

"Rachelle: Victor… I’m glad that I got to meet you… I just have a request… protect the girl… My hope and wishes should live on in her… But maybe she’d hate me for it, giving her such a burden…"

"Rossana: I never had a passion for only one thing. To like everything is the same as to like nothing in particular."

"Roberta: Perhaps there are people who live for others. Even if that kind of life is dim maybe there are fires that are meant to burn for a long time."

"Giacomo Dante: Violence is the way of the world. I am simply playing along."

"Jumbo: Hey. So did your vengeance go?"

"Yotsuba: I died."

"Jumbo: See? Vengeance won't get you anywhere."

"Jumbo: Hey goat what are you useful for?"

"Koiwai: Are you helping the farm in any way?"

"Yotsuba: Do some work goat."

"Ena: Your hands, your hands, don't let go of the chains!"

"Yotsuba: My hands?"

"Yotsuba goes flying."

"Ena-Are: you okay?"

"Yotsuba: S...Scary...Scary...Ahhhhhh!!"

"Yotsuba points a gun a Koiwai"

"Yotsuba: Save your excuses for hell."

"Koiwai: Are there any stars you know Yotsuba?"

"Yotsuba: There is!"

"Koiwai: Oh, which one?"

"Yotsuba: um.. that pretty, bright one!"

"Koiwai: Which star is it?"

"Yotsuba: Earth."

"Yotsuba: Boxer Man!! You've come again!"

"Fuuka: Again?! He comes often?!"

"Yotsuba's Dad: Which is the top? Which is the bottom? You'll never know!"

"Fuuka: Jumbo-san"

"Asagi: Takeda-san"

"Asagi: Giraffe-san?"

"Ena: But he roared at me!"

"First of all, “moe” must meet the following conditions"

"In recent years, in the world of anime and manga too, the hollowing out of mainstream culture and the putative rise of subculture severely diluted and eroded the standing of the Tale. Audiences have come to need only a work only as an escape from reality, as a comfortable dream, judging everything on the criterion of moe, while creators’ intellectual paucity and the jumble of trivial touches have encouraged that structure. At the same time, TV-type mass consumption, which prizes instant gratification and simplistic results, laid the improverished grounds of contemporary Japanese entertainment, giving rise to masses that can only respond with praise for superficial details and technical proficiency; with tears, laughter, fear, or some outpouring of simple emotions ; or with identifying and particularism. And here we are, in this stagnant state of affairs. I am stuck here myself. It’s embarrassing and frustrating, and I also regret that I contributed to it. I want it fixed. The sooner, the better."

"In moe, we’re seeing the characters becoming younger and younger, but the attraction is not sexual, it’s sort of like the feeling you get when you see a puppy – that ‘oh my god it’s so cute’ appeal – but for guys. These characters evoke care and cuteness; it’s as though sex itself has become too threatening."

"There's been the sound of a guitar coming from that old school building that we've been barred entry... it's a gentle and soft tune."

"It's as if I can see the fingers creating this melody as if I can see the flow of the music."

"Perhaps due to his parents' influence, he has always spoken callously... but he's been especially callous these days."

"Because you like it [the guitar], you want to give it your all. But, if you do like it, then you only need to learn to love it."

"At least, he's willing to look at me. Even if it's only a little."

"In a single moment, you could lose it forever. No matter how much you care for it."

"I know you're in pain, Fujimura-kun, but don't you still have something that you don't want to lose?"

"Just how deep has he been hurt?"

"Even forgetting that I can't do it... I would want to go do something."

"I first met him when I was six years old. On a scorching hot summer day, in the forest that legend says is home to many spirits and monsters."

"If a human touches me, I'll disappear."

"The minute you go, your heart will become lost. You'll never return home!"

"Assaulting someone who is sleeping! Children are scary!"

"And then I began to long for summertime."

"On the arranged date, Gin would be waiting for me."

"Gin seemed to be cherished by a lot of the monsters."

"Once I touch human skin, the magic will vanish, and I will disappear. I live a very unstable life..."

"Heh heh, it's like a date. (It is a date)"

"Hotaru... I can't wait for summer anymore. If we separate, even if I have to go through crowds, I'll still want to go and see Hotaru."

"Next year's summer... will definitely... be the last time. This must not be at that place!"

"Come Hotaru, I can finally touch you!"

"Thank you. Even though we wanted to be with Gin forever, in the end, Gin wanted to touch other humans."

"He could finally be embraced by someone."

"For now, I won't be able to look forward to the coming of the summer!"

"My chest hurts... my tears keep falling."

"However, the warmth that still remains in my hands, and the memories of the summers, will remain with me forever."

"I've decided! I'll become a ninja! I'll come to the rescue whenever Kaede is in danger!"

"This kind of tree is called Iroha Mamoji. It's also called Takao Kaede."

"Swirling and falling... swirling and falling... I wanted to close my eyes in deep slumber."

"If you want to keep on worrying me, I will end my friendship with you! What?! What do you mean by that?"

"Kaede's gentle smile... I haven't seen it in a long time."

"Swirling and falling, feeling dizzy... feeling light-headed. When exactly was it, that I fell in love?"

"Ritsu, there may be something big happening these days. It's something we've been wishing for, for a long time."

"My brother's words are normally straightforward and stern. But in this letter, his words flew and danced about."

"Even though the sky was dark, and the night got increasingly cold., as long as I was with my most favorite brother, I think I could go anywhere."

"I kept all of the letters you sent me. What?! You should throw away those embarrassing things!"

"I have to return to the past. I have to return our relationship to how it was before."

"But, I don't remember this pain in my heart."

"I don't care about the pain in my heart. I just feel... I never want to separate from you again."

"I don't want to destroy anything anymore. For me, a moment like this is enough."

"When petals of sakura blossoms started to dance around, nii-san left home."

"Is this... called love? Will these feelings... disappear one day?"

"Gin! Here, pudding! You said you've never had it before, so I made some for you. Eh? Made it? You?"

"There were a lot of people and roads... I got lost as I kept looking."

"I don't really know myself. The things I would like to eat with you or see with you have always been overflowing from my world."

"The words in shoujo manga and love songs… They're always sparkling brightly. I don't need a dictionary to understand the meaning… But I've never felt them for myself. The sakura blossoms have gone from pink to green. In that time, I've gotten used to the new uniforms… and the steep slope in front of the school. But there's still one thing that hasn't changed since middle school."

"In this case you obviously have read lolicon, and I haven't. I don't know whether you're writing from personal experience here, and whether you have personally been incited to rape children or give inappropriate hugs by reading it. (I assume you haven't. I assume that Chris Handley, with his huge manga collection, wasn't either. I've read books that claimed that exposure to porn causes rape, but have seen no statistical evidence that porn causes rape -- and indeed have seen claims that the declining number of US rapes may be due to the wider availability of porn. Honestly, I think it's a red herring in First Amendment matters, and I'll leave it for other people to argue about.) Still, you seem to want lolicon banned, and people prosecuted for owning it, and I don't. You ask, What makes it worth defending? and the only answer I can give is this: Freedom to write, freedom to read, freedom to own material that you believe is worth defending means you're going to have to stand up for stuff you don't believe is worth defending, even stuff you find actively distasteful, because laws are big blunt instruments that do not differentiate between what you like and what you don't, because prosecutors are humans and bear grudges and fight for re-election, because one person's obscenity is another person's art."

"“We’ve been using MMPI for the past five years,” Shukan Bunshun hears from an unnamed school board executive in an unnamed prefecture. “It’s possible, certainly, that Lolicons or people with other questionable sexual tendencies will find ways to hide that. On the other hand, we have noticed that, compared with prefectures that don’t use MMPI, our episodes of obscene behavior have decreased – to zero, in fact, over the past couple of years.” From another school board official in another prefecture Shukan Bunshun hears this story: A young applicant came across to examiners as very impressive. His written test results were tops. In interviews he conveyed fluently and convincingly his ideas concerning education. And yet there was something ever so slightly odd about him. He seemed, at times, to be looking about him furtively and uneasily. Perhaps it meant nothing. On the other hand, you can’t be too careful where children are concerned. The board sent the applicant’s MMPI to a qualified counselor for expert scrutiny. Sure enough, the expert detected Lolicon tendencies. The man was not hired. Score one victory for children and one defeat for sexual predation – right? But was the man really Lolicon? Tests are indicative, not infallible. What if he wasn’t? Whose victory is it then?"
