"[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?"

"Japanese: We stand in awe of that which cannot be seen, and we respect with every fiber that which cannot be explained. English: We fear that which we cannot see."

"Ichigo you are a good son."

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"Burn, Engetsu."

"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."

"[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."

"[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."

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

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

"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...!!"

"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."

"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."

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

"[[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!"

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

"I am Zangetsu!"

"I have.. No name!"

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

"(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?"

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

"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!"

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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...!?"

"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!"

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