"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"

"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?"

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

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

"Man has, above all else, evil That I would, for the sake of having this illusion of justice Beyond everything that is I, more than the evil that I have, Hallucinate, that there is nothing else The justice I had believed in has it's own evil Justice, for the sake of obtaining justice is Constantly, endlessly doubting my own justice"

"To decay is our companion As night is our servant As the crow pecks at this body I await you at the castle of elm trees"

"There is no world without sacrifice. Are you unaware? We are In a sea of blood, ashes floating in hell Crying the name of A fading world"

"To plunder that which has been lost, Blood and flesh and bone and something else"

"I envy because of the heart. I glutton because of the heart. I covet because of the heart. I am prideful because of the heart. I sloth because of the heart. I rage because of the heart. Because of the heart, I lust for everything about you"

"To err is human. To kill is the devil."

"The only true fear is to become a warrior that doesn't know fear."

"People cannot be thought to define beauty, however Flowers can be thought to define beauty. A person's form resembles a flower, only at the time of defeat, when it is torn to pieces"

"It's still too early to believe."

"If you even fail to be born, it's only natural to die."

"If I am given wings, I would fly for you Even if all of this earth sinks into the water If I am given a sword, I would stand and fight for you Even if all of this sky was shot through by your light"

"I am an insect Swinging around with no nature Desiring evil, descending Creeping like a worm, revolving My neck is stretching Higher than the moon Until no more sympathy is visible I run from you bastards"

"The king gallops Shaking free from the shadow, Beating the armor, Kicking about the bones, Slurping the flesh and blood, The creaking increases. Smashing the heart He walks in alone Toward the faraway other side"

"Tell me you hate me the most in the world"

"These deep wounds, are like the oceans's depths These Crimson sins, become colourless with death"
