"New eras don't come about because of swo…" — Kenshin Himura Quote

"I want you to understand something. If you should lose, not only does your future end, but also the future of the one you are trying to protect. Defeat isn't an option for the sword that protects others. You should keep that thought engraved in your heart."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"You will not touch these innocent people with even one inch of your dirty blades, if you require an opponent, I will fight you. If you wanna taste the ground, feel free to attack me."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"Accepting one's own strength, and the strength of others, is an important quality of a swordsman."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"We once fought together for an ideal with our swords. It wasn't for power or for glory, but to create a peaceful world where people could live without fear. And if you should forget about that, then what did we fight the revolution for?"

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"This era is not so simple that you can put everything on your shoulders and be the only sacrifice. And, at the same time, one person's happiness isn't that simple, either. If you should fall as a sacrifice, one girl who came to Kyoto with the one wish to see you will definitely face misfortune. Remember that. No matter how strong you get, you are just a human being. There is no need for you to either become Buddha, or a murderer."

— Seijuro Hiko · Rurouni Kenshin

"When you are trying to rebuild a build that was made incorrectly, you first have to destroy it. I thought this was the true."

— Seta Soujirou · Rurouni Kenshin
