Gin Ichimaru

 * 1) "I'm a snake. Cold of flesh and devoid of heart. My tongue flicks back and forth, ever in search of new prey, and if I like what I find, I swallow 'em whole."
 * 2) "If you were to turn into a snake tomorrow and begin devouring humans, and from the same mouth you started devouring humans, you cried out to me 'I love you,' would I still be able to say 'I love you' the same way I do today?"
 * 3) "I'm not too fond of sad stories."

 * 2) Option 1 works best.--Xilinoc (talk) 13:47, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 1. Its between 1 and 2 for me, and I prefer 1.  14:21, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

Kaname Tōsen

 * 1) "My eyes can only see one path and that is the path with the least amount of bloodshed. Justice, is always there, and the path I follow, is justice."
 * 2) "If it is not enough to believe in justice, then I will become justice. I will seek out the evils in this world and wipe them out like the clouds in the sky. I swear I will... for justice."
 * 3) "Justice without a great cause begets nothing more than slaughter. However, that same slaughter in the name of a great cause is justice."
 * 4) "Justice is not something that can be expressed in mere words."
 * 5) "To forgive the one who killed my beloved friend?! Certainly, that would be an act of 'goodness'! A beautiful act! Almost too beautiful to behold!! But is 'goodness' the same thing as 'justice'?! No! To live out my own peaceful life, never avenging the regrets of the departed, would be evil!"
 * 6) "Oh, I have fear. For the past hundred years, I have been afraid - afraid of dying like the rest of you Shinigami."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 - Here are lots of great quotes so it's really difficult to decide, but I think option 1 is just a little better than the rest. -- 12:00, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 works best Option 3 because Yyp makes a good point.--Xilinoc (talk) 16:01, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 3. 1 is good and probably the one that most would associate with him out of these, but 3 (while admittedly perhaps not quite as good in its own right) shows the contradiction/facade, path of least bloodshed as I kill kill kill.  14:21, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 3 It was a toss-up between 3 and 4 for me, but I'm going with 3 ("path of least bloodshed as I kill kill kill" - Yyp)
 * 5) Option 3 It illustrates his dutiful nature while also explaining his defection.  01:08, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Option 3 Tousen's hypocrisy is one of the reasons I hate him so damned much, and this quote sums that up pretty well.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  18:33, April 28, 2014 (UTC)

Byakuya Kuchiki

 * 1) "Shall I tell you the difference between you and I? It's level. It's like the story of the monkey trying to capture the moon. No matter how he struggles, it's just the moon's reflection on the water he sees. So he only sinks into the water. Time after time, he sinks."
 * 2) "I have already told you. You and I, our levels are as distant as the earth from the heavens. Must I spell it out for you? I have discarded my left arm, discarded my left leg, and yet even so, I have not nearly lowered myself to your level."
 * 3) "At what point did I ever claim that I was cutting you down in my capacity as a Shinigami? To justify the actions I have taken I need but one reason. You raised your blade in contempt of my pride."
 * 4) "If it is for the sake of my pride, there is nothing I won't destroy."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Even though it's from the anime, Option 4 is a great top of the page quote, in my opinion, because it sums Byakuya up so damn well. Plus, it's very short and sweet.--Xilinoc (talk) 04:49, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 4 I agree, best quote to describe him. -- 14:01, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 3 Even though it is a little more reliant on context, I like this one more because it emphasizes his pride and its link to Rukia.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  18:33, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 4 Best of the options presented.  10:55, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 4 No additional comments

Yammy Llargo

 * 1) "Piss me off more, and more, and more! The more you do, the more pathetic your final deaths will be!"
 * 2) "Ain't one of the Espada you've fought up until now that's stronger than me. Grimmjow, Nnoitra, an' Ulquiorra too. As far as I'm concerned, they're all just trash!"
 * 3) "Tch. It just ain't nearly enough. I've slept my ass off, eaten my ass off, saved up a whole load of Reiatsu. Just killing off a bunch of nobodies like these punks ain't nearly gonna be enough to use it up!"
 * 4) "What are you dumbasses blabbering on about down there?! You think you're gonna take ME out?! Little pieces of trash like you?! Don't make me laugh."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 Implies strength and showcases his aspect of death. -- 14:01, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 Outside of the databooks, this is about as much characterization as Yammy got in the end. And ditto on the aspect of death.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  18:33, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 1, see above.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:34, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 1. Just works best out of these options.  10:55, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 1 Clearly the best option

Baraggan Louisenbairn

 * 1) "Do not allow even a single one of these ants to escape with his life. If you lose here, there will be no place for you to return to. Do not disappoint me. Do not force me to walk a path not stained with the blood of my enemies."
 * 2) "It matters not who you are or what manner of power you may possess. Before the power I wield, all beings are equal. Come. It is time that you too were reduced to naught but bones."
 * 3) "I suppose 'buying time' in the face of one who holds dominion over 'age' is a similar action to spitting in the face of God. Perhaps I should congratulate you on your nerve, lesser beings though you are."
 * 4) "Shinigami, humans, Hollows, Arrancar, all of their differences and strife, will, freedom, beasts, plants, the moon and stars and sun - all of it is meaningless! There is but one absolute in this world, and that is my power!"
 * 5) "It is only natural for I, wielder of the ultimate power over all, to hold dominion over the world!! Among a number of competing powers, equality can never be found. But observe! In these hollow eyes of mine, the lives you bear are no greater than those of mere ants!"


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 4 shows his immense power and arrogance best. -- 14:01, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 4 because I agree with Ginhikari.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:34, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 1 Shows how he presents himself as a king and his very threatening aura. It's a really badass quote overall. --(Marioman53 (talk)) 23:18 April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 4. It was between op. 2 and 4 for me, both work for me because they hint at his power being even greater than him, as well as showing what he was like. I think I'll go with 4.  10:55, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 4

Tier Harribel

 * 1) "With the bite of a shark, a dragon of ice shall sink beneath the waves."
 * 2) "You are next. I will avenge my subordinates."
 * 3) "Our existence is built upon the noble sacrifices made. Instead, you fall in battle from trying to protect your subordinates. My subordinates were not simply defeated. They left behind markers for me, on how to carry on the fight. If I had lost, my subordinates' sacrifices would have all been for nothing. I hold within me the resolve of those who sacrificed their lives."
 * 4) "We women are easy prey for the males. I brought you here because I thought that it would be better if we worked in a group, rather than working alone."
 * 5) "I don't want to become stronger through the power I gain by killing and sacrificing another. If I can't win alone, then I'll win as a group."
 * 6) "No world is without sacrifices. But if we produce casualties, we would also sustain casualties of our own."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 Not a great quote, but I'd prefer a manga quote and this is the best I found. -- 14:01, April 28, 2014 (UTC)


 * 1) Option 6 works best for me.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:34, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 6 Yeah I like this one.
 * 3) Option 6. Seems like the best choice. Arrancar109  (Talk)  06:32, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 6 - Sacrifices are her thing.--

Chōjirō Sasakibe

 * 1) "As a member of your school, I would only be able to imitate you. The role of a right-hand man should be to compensate for those areas which you cannot address!"


 * Vote:
 * 1) I'm glad that there's such a multitude of page quote options available for this fleshed-out character, but ultimately Option 1 wins out for me.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:33, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 Such a hard choice.
 * 3) Option 1 seems the best choice. Arrancar109  (Talk)  06:32, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 1 - His resolve.--

Suì-Fēng

 * 1) "I have no interest in whether it is right or wrong. All I care about is executing orders as a captain of the Gotei 13. All who get in my way are my enemies. All enemies must be slain. That is all that matters."
 * 2) "I have never liked squad camaraderie. I feel that for training purposes, a measure of antagonism between superior and subordinate is essential."
 * 3) "Do not make the mistake of thinking that we have entered this battle prepared to die. We fight that we may live. 'Defending the world' is nothing more than a grand excuse. We fight to protect one another, to protect you, and to protect countless others from the hands of Aizen."'


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 is a great quote that indicates just how serious Suì-Fēng is about her line of work.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:33, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 I agree -- 18:55, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 1 Agreed.
 * 4) Option 1 seems to be the best one that describes Sui-Feng. It's pretty much her personality in a nutshell. Arrancar109  (Talk)  06:32, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 1 - Its her entirely.--

Marechiyo Ōmaeda

 * 1) "Let me tell you something. You should never judge people on outer appearances."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Even though he has that rant about fatness and his acknowledgment of being a member of the Gotei 13, I feel Option 1 is much more fitting for Marechiyo here because it's tied to how he pretends to be oafish and bumbling in order to hide his true capability.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:33, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 Tell that to Reigai Omaeda.....
 * 3) Option 1. 'nuff said. Arrancar109  (Talk)  06:32, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 1 - Thats all.--

Bambietta Basterbine

 * 1) "If you've forgotten what happens to subordinates who make me mad, I'll be all too happy to remind you! I'll flatten this whole damn area and find you whether you like it or not!!"
 * 2) "The warm and pleasant battles like a midday nap, filled with hope, end here."
 * 3) "All I need to do is blast the hell out of every direction at the same time! That’s what my “The Explode” is good at!"
 * 4) "The whole point of fighting is that you don't want to die! That you'll be killed if you lose! If you throw your life away in battle, where's the point in winning?!"


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 3 It was really difficult to find any worthy Bambietta quotes, but I'll go with this one as it implies both her insanity and power -- 18:55, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Going with Option 4 here. I like it, alot.
 * 3) Even though 4 is a little more top-of-the-pagey, I'm casting my vote on Option 3 because it sums up her mental instability and confidence in her own power quite nicely.--Xilinoc (talk) 01:38, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 4 seems to reflect what I think about Bambietta. It has my vote. Arrancar109  (Talk)  06:32, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 4 - Basically the point.--

Mask De Masculine

 * 1) "The cheers of my fans are all the strength I need!"
 * 2) "A star cannot fall at the hands of a villain!"
 * 3) "Before this Superstar with the splendor of a god, you will turn to dust and die without ever touching the ground!"


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 3 Feels best for him -- 18:55, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) All of these are good, but I'm gonna go with Option 1
 * 3) Option 3 really shows Mask's self-confidence/vanity, "Superstar" motif, and - of course - his sheer, undiluted hamminess.--Xilinoc (talk) 01:38, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 3. Arrancar109  (Talk)  06:32, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 3 - Works for me. --

BG9

 * 1) "Life? I had none to begin with."
 * 2) "I must thank you for the valuable data. However, I am also quite disappointed. If this is the best you can do, I will have no need of the Bankai I stole from you."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 There are barely any good quotes from BG9 which make some sense out of context, and I think this is the best which can be found and that it represents it quite well -- 18:55, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 Yeah, agreed.
 * 3) Option 1 is really the only viable option here.--Xilinoc (talk) 01:38, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 1, because reasons. Arrancar109  (Talk)  06:32, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 1 - Obvious.--

Quilge Opie

 * 1) "For in the eyes of any twisted and barbaric Shinigami, to face the ultimate enforcers of all that is holy and righteous must be an abhorrent and terrifying sight indeed!"
 * 2) "Each time I witness my victims struggling in vain the same thought occurs to me anew. "Can the death of the weak truly be so wretched a sight?" It pains me to watch. Hurry and die."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 Really seems right for Quilge -- 18:55, April 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 Agreeing with Gin here.
 * 3) Option 1 - This his beliefs.--
 * 4) Though 1 is a great quote in its own right, Option 2 feels like it speaks more about his personality than 1 does.--Xilinoc (talk) 01:38, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 2 seems closer to Quilge's personality, in my eyes. Arrancar109  (Talk)  06:32, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Option 2 - Prefer the quote for insight into his character!!
 * 7) Option 1 - Really emphasizes the way Quilge perceives himself and the rest of the Wandenreich.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  22:13, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi

 * 1) "Come along. That's right... right this way. Slowly does it... closer and closer... until you are captive to my melody."
 * 2) "My hair! There is such a thing as aesthetics, you know, even when escaping from a pile of rubble!"
 * 3) "Watching over Izuru always provides me with the most remarkable inspiration. Just by holding a guitar in his presence, I find the melodies well up like tears unbidden. If Izuru were to be gone, my Flying V too will mourn."
 * 4) "What manner of guitar could fail to cry when faced with the deaths of so many men? My guitar is already crying. I hope you don't expect to leave this place alive... Quincy."
 * 5) "Kinshara Butōdan is a dance troupe of death. The payment for their performance is your life."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 3 or 4 - This is rose.--
 * 2) Option 4 Difficult choice but like this one!!
 * 3) Option 1 Shows more directly what Rose's powers and personality towards battle is. Even alues to his bankais power.--Darkhunter-X (talk) 18:19, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 4 is great.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:04, May 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 4 Really captures his love for music and how he feels about his fellow Shinigami, while at the same time being serious.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  22:13, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Shinji Hirako

 * 1) "Pretty good, huh? Doing things in reverse is my specialty."
 * 2) "I swear. I really don't like gettin' involved in Shinigami fights. Oh well. When you hear the sound of fighting so close by you can't just ignore it."
 * 3) "Can't ya hold back a little while you're fighting? If I dodge an attack and the city gets destroyed bit by bit instead, then I can't just ignore it and keep dodging."
 * 4) "Well, ain't the answer to that freakin' obvious? Not a chance. We ain't your allies or nothin'. We're just Aizen's enemies. Oh, an' we're also Ichigo's allies."
 * 5) "You sure 'bout that? Jumpin' in to help a bunch of total unknowns like us? Well, not that I'm quite sure what the heck you are either."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 - This is his speciality. --

Sajin Komamura

 * 1) "...With our hands, we will open Tōsen's eyes!""
 * 2) "You're right. I have not yet introduced myself. I am Seventh Division Captain Sajin Komamura. And though it shames me, I am just as you say...a mere worm of a man."
 * 3) "I never thought the day would come when I would be forced to protect someone from your blade."
 * 4) "It is your betrayal of your allies, betrayal of your friends, betrayal of your own subordinates - all for the purpose of obtaining this unnatural power that I refer to as debasement!"
 * 5) "If our core beliefs are truly incompatible, then attempting to solve this with words is meaningless. For the sake of Soul Society, I must strike you down. I do not wish to do so. Having heard your true beliefs, I am now satisfied. In my heart, I have already forgiven you."
 * 6) "I have not thrown my life away. I have merely gambled it. Genryūsai-dono gambled his own life on this battle. I see no reason why I should not do the same. From the moment I set foot on this battlefield, I had already left my life behind!"


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 6 - Little Long but i think thats Komamura's most recent philosophy.--
 * 2) - Option 6 I would prefer a shorter version like "I have not thrown my life away. I have merely gambled it." or "From the moment I set foot on this battlefield, I had already left my life behind!"
 * 3) Option 6, I also agree with Sun on the shortening bit.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:04, May 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 6 Unshortened. I feel like it loses some meaning otherwise.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  22:13, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Kensei Muguruma

 * 1) "You're alive! You should be happy! So smile!"
 * 2) "Sorry, brat. I'm not mature enough to hold back just 'cause you're a kid!"


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 2 - Kensei truly is hardcore and crazy.--
 * 2) Option 2 - Yeah love this moment it is a very Kensei moment!!
 * 3) Option 2 all the way.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:04, May 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 2 captures his hardass personality.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  22:13, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Tōshirō Hitsugaya

 * 1) "There we go again, old men and their stupid arguments. What a pain."
 * 2) "If you make Hinamori shed even one drop of blood... I'll kill you."
 * 3) "You're being too lenient with an opponent you've only hit once. Haven't you ever heard of following through?"
 * 4) "Since you were kind enough to lecture me, allow me to tell you something. You are in the greatest danger when you execute a flawless strategy. That, too, is the way of battle."
 * 5) "Wielding one's blade out of duty alone is what it means to be a captain. Wielding one's blade out of hatred is nothing more than petty violence. That is not what we would consider battle."
 * 6) "You've got it exactly right, Aizen. I wield this blade out of hatred. I didn't come here to do battle. I'm here to slice you to pieces as a sheer act of violence!"
 * 7) "As long as I can strike you down, I would gladly abandon my status as captain right here and now!"


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 7 - Ill go with this.--
 * 2) Option 7 - Was going to go with Option 1 but he sort of changed for the bored guy to passionate over time!!
 * 3) 6 and 7 are both great representations of his current personality, but Option 7 wins out for its simplicity.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:04, May 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 4 - I feel like this is relevant now, even with the Aizen debacle being over.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  22:13, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Kenpachi Zaraki

 * 1) "This Reiatsu... Even though I don't know who it's from, they seem to be deep in the heat of battle. Not bad. It sure makes your blood boil, doesn't it?"
 * 2) "So you want to fight too? Fine, you can have them, but fight elsewhere. If you get in my way, I'll chop you up first."
 * 3) "You are shameless to sneak around like that, guys. Cowardly hiding spiritual pressure and stalking others isn't something that captains should do."
 * 4) "Blah blah blah! You're noisy! Just come on and fight already. It's best if all four of you come together. If you four surround me and attack at once, maybe one of you will actually wound me."
 * 5) "Sanity? Worthless things like that, I never had them for as long as I can remember!"
 * 6) "It's been so long that I forgot the pain of not having a name. Everyone had a name that friends use to call them, but I didn't. That pain."
 * 7) "I named you Yachiru, in memory of the only person I ever admired."
 * 8) "I want to get stronger. I've finally found a worthy opponent. I can get stronger. I want to fight. I want to get stronger. It sure has been a while. To feel this desire again. I want to get stronger."
 * 9) "Never admit defeat and ask for a quick death! Die first, then admit defeat! If you are defeated but didn't die, it just means you were lucky! At those times, think only about survival! Survive and think only about killing the one who failed to kill you!"
 * 10) "Sorry but I'm not interested in weaklings who can't fight any more. Besides, I don't have any obligation to finish you off."
 * 11) "Loyalty to someone is different from depending on them. It isn't even interesting fighting against someone who doesn't have his own goals."
 * 12) "Not criminals? That's rich, coming from you. You know damn well that if we weren't so damn powerful petty criminals is all the both of us would be!"


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 6 or 8 - Basically says his need for a name or for strength in battle.--
 * 2) Option 6 - Both 6 and 8 work well but 8 is too long!!
 * 3) Option 6 is surprisingly beautiful for Kenpachi.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:04, May 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 6 - This is more or less the core of Zaraki's character.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  22:13, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Mayuri Kurotsuchi

 * 1) "Be quiet. You too, Nemu. Do you want me to cut you up again?"
 * 2) "Ooh, a Quincy. They are a rare breed. I haven't seen a live one for many years. However, I'm sorry, but I've already finished studying your kind. I have absolutely no interest in you."
 * 3) "A man's scream is really lacking in comparison to a woman's. It's nowhere as lustful. Rather, it's unbearably annoying."
 * 4) "My, my. The tool defying its own master. Did it really think it would get away with that? It was designed such that if it were ever to bite at me, then it would instantly self-destruct."
 * 5) "Oh, do be quiet. I have no need for chatter from my test subjects. This is an experiment. You are Subject #1. The rights of refusal or acceptance are out of your hands!"


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 5 - His view of everyone basically.--
 * 2) Option 4 - Tough call between 4 and 5, show how he views subjects and tools for his work!!
 * 3) Option 5 works for me.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:04, May 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) 'Option 5 - Unfortunately, his perfection speech is not a viable option. This one works because it is pretty much how he views his opponents, or anyone in general.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  22:13, May 1, 2014 (UTC)
