"Nanao-chan is last place!"

"I'm so disappointed, Ichigo, so very disappointed. Sadly, your sword exhibits only fear. When you counter, it's because you fear being killed. When you attack, you fear killing. And when you protect someone, you fear you could let them die. At this point, the only thing your sword speaks is senseless fright, and that's not good. What you don't need in battle is fear. Nothing will come of it. When you counter, you don't let them cut you. When you protect someone, you don't let them die. And when you attack, you kill."

— Urahara Kisuke · Bleach

"It is a thousand years too early... for you to become worthy enough to die by my Bankai."

— Kuchiki Byakuya · Bleach

"Don't just blame yourself. You're not tough enough to withstand everything. Split the load, to my shoulders, and to Ichigo's. Just stack it little by little. That's why we've become stronger. Believe in him, Rukia."

— Abarai Renji · Bleach

"Awww maaan, and I really didn't feel like using it this early either. Better watch closely, and make sure you don't tell a soul! Bankai!!"

— Madarame Ikkaku · Bleach

"I... Despise the way you fight. Without ever lifting your own hand... To steal bonds of camraderie and torture opponents is the height of cowardice. It is a lack of shame deserving of death. I am here. Strike me down. I shall kill you and cast you aside... Before you finish swinging your blade."

— Kuchiki Byakuya · Bleach

"[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."

— Ulquiorra Schiffer · Bleach
