"Those who are left behind in a fight or …" — Rukia Kuchiki Quote

"[to Ichigo] You're a Soul Reaper and I'm a Hollow. Whichever side loses will be massacred! It's been that way for over a thousand years! Who needs any more reason than that?! Now bring it! The last man standing gets to go home alive! That's all there is to it!"

"Revolving... If fate is a wheel, we are the cogs that drive it. We have no choice but to believe that this wheel is flawless and forge on ahead. The power of the individual cogs and their destinations... And the blade that is brought down upon them."

— Rukia Kuchiki · Bleach

"Reason exists for those who cannot go on living without clinging to it. Now let's go... to the edge of reason."

— Aizen Sousuke · Bleach

"What are you doing? Why do you run Ichigo? You still have not called 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 forward! Go forward! Never stand still. Retreat and you will age. Hesitate and you will die. Shout... my name is... ZANGETSU!"

— Zangetsu · Bleach

"You'll find that Ichigo has an uncanny knack for forgeting people's faces, and the names to go with them."

— Arisawa Tatsuki · Bleach

"*to Ichigo, after he released his bankai for the first time* What is that? Are you saying that this small thing is a bankai? Isn't it just the sealed form of your zanpakutō? I see. First the execution, and now Bankai. I can see that you enjoy treading on our pride. Very well, then. I will carve into your body...The punishment for injuring our pride!"

— Kuchiki Byakuya · Bleach
