"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?"

"[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... 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."

"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."

"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!"

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

"[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""

"[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 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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Bankai, Kamishini no Yari."

"Shoot to Kill, Shinsō."

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

"[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."

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

"[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."
