"[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."

"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 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."

"[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!"

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

"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."

"[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."

"[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."

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

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

"[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."

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

"[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."

"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"."

"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?"

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

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

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

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

"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?"

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

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

"[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."

"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?"

"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."

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

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

"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."

"[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."

"Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi."

"Scatter, Senbonzakura."

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

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

"The battle is everything"

"The soul burns up Though heaven falls"

"Scattering twice without even blooming Like flames scatter, beautiful"

"The army is marching, blowing the horns The buzzing in ears never stop, Like stardust, like thundering roar of the boots"

"One step forward. Never able to go back. To an universe drenched in a sea of blood"

"If it can be said that it is the heart that is unchanging, then that is the strength"

"It seems that I, even this young, even being this inexperienced, have grown withered by age As for the adults, being completely flawless, such is like a thing impossible to forgive"

"Let's count together for me The bite marks That I left on you"

"Don't put a finger in my heart"

"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."

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

"All people, imitations of apes, All gods, imitations of people"
