"The moon peers down on a diseased world.…" — Seijuro Hiko Quote

"Oh well, I guess all those who are in love do crazy things."

— Sanosuke Sagara · Rurouni Kenshin

"Let's just say... what's mine is mine, and what's yours... is also mine."

— Hajime Saitou · Rurouni Kenshin

"No matter how much you hurt inside, the dead can never return."

— Seijuro Hiko · Rurouni Kenshin

"When I was at the brink of life and death, I used all of my will to survive. I drew upon a different power than that of self-sacrifice and mastered an ultimate technique. The will to live is stronger than anything else. That was the ray of light that my master risked his life to show me. As Hitokiri Battousai, I have committed so many crimes that I cannot possibly repent for them. That is why I had secretly believed that it didn't matter when I died or was killed. However, now... even if I am formally punished or restrained. I will never lose the will to live."

— Kenshin Himura · Rurouni Kenshin

"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

"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."
