"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

"New eras don't come about because of swords, they're created by the people who wield them."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin
