Shinji Hirako

 * 1) "Pretty good, huh? Doing things in reverse is my specialty."

 * 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) "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."

 * 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)

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) "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."

 * 2) Option 1 - Her whole issue is reason i think this says it.--
 * 3) Option 1 - I love this quote for her, its so true!!

Ulquiorra Cifer

 * 1) "If this eye cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. That is the assumption under which I have always fought. What is this "heart"? If I tear open that chest of yours, will I see it there? If I smash open that skull of yours, will I see it there?" 
 * 2) "Even if you rise up a thousand times, there will be no victory for any of you."
 * 3) "Do not allow yourself to be shaken. Do not weaken your stance. Open your senses. And do not let your guard down for an instant."
 * 4) "You willingly seek to challenge an opponent so much more powerful than you that it strikes a primal fear into your being. Incomprehensible. If this is the work of the 'heart' that you people speak of, then it is because you possess this 'heart' that you humans bring hurt upon yourself, because you possess this 'heart' that you lose your lives."
 * 5) "I see. So this is it. It lies here within this palm. The heart."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 I think this sums up his philosophy pretty well. -- 08:33, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 - His total point of view.--
 * 3) Option 1 - His Point of view, wish it was shorter though!!
 * 4) Option 1 - I don't think it can be shortened while still conveying his materialistic and nihilistic views at the same time, so I'm fine with it remaining the same length. Oh yeah, and it's really good.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:04, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

Nnoitra Gilga

 * 1) "If I kill a thousand nobodies, who's gonna admit that I'm the strongest? There's no value in taking a nobody's life."
 * 2) "This is a battle. Of course it's gonna be unfair. That which is called 'battle' was a monster originally born of unfairness and intolerance."
 * 3) "Every fuckin' one of 'em, they have the gall to take pity on me. And they don't even know how much they're hurtin' me by doin' it. I don't do "mercy". Strong, weak, infant, monster. I just smash 'em all to pieces. I don't give 'em the chance to get up a second time."
 * 4) "I want to die in the heat of battle. That's why I wanna get stronger. The stronger I get, the more battle will surround me. I want to be able to live and breathe the heat of battle."
 * 5) "Ain't no chance of salvation for us. Never has been. With or without Aizen, that's never gonna change. If there's one thing I'm grateful to that guy for, it's the fact that he gave me power. Thanks to that I've been able to savor greater battles than ever before. I'm gonna be strong. Stronger than anyone."
 * 6) "I wanna be cut so that my breath is gone before my body hits the ground. That's the kind of death I wanna have."

 * 3) Option 5 - Yeah, explains his thirst for battle!!

Shunsui Kyōraku

 * 2) "Waiting patiently and believing in your subordinates is all part of a captain's job."
 * 3) "It goes against my nature to get rough with women. I happen to be a gentleman."
 * 4) "Throwing away victory for the sake of manners is a rookie mistake. Captains don't have the time to waste on that kind of thing. Don't waste your time trying to play the good guy. No matter what debts you may owe, from the instant you find yourself on the battleground, both sides are evil."

 * 1) Option 4 I think this quote is the best simply. -- 08:33, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

 * 3) "You're annoying me! Ken-chan's fighting, so don't bother me!"
 * 4) "You know, just a feeling. The kind of feeling that’s kind of cold, kind of hot, kind of happy. That sort of feeling. Ken-chan always says when he finds someone who gives him that feeling he can’t help but slice them down without thinking."

 * 1) Option 1 - Really defines her as Kenpachi's number one supporter. -- 08:33, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
