Bleach Wiki:Featured Quote/Jan 10

'''Read or hear a quote you think was just amazing? Write it down precisely and post it here for everyone to see! The winning quote will be featured on the homepage of the wiki all next month!'''

The deadline is December 31, 2009. Any unsigned votes will be REMOVED before vote counting.

Rules for Adding Quotes
Write down a quote from a recent episode or chapter.

Make a separate headline under the appropriate header for each individual quote you have. Use a descriptive title for the header. For example, if you wanted to list a quote from Ulquiorra about Espada above four not being able to release under the dome, you might put: ===Ulquiorra Cifer: Las Noches Dome=== for the header. Bold the quote so it stands out.

All quotes must contain a reference listing specifically where it came from. For quotes from chapters, they must come from Ju-Ni's scanlations; that way we won't have six of the same quote, just from different scanlations. You must list not only the chapter, but the specific page number(s). For episodes, provide a link to the episode and list the approximate time the quote was said at. Quotes without references will be removed.

For a quote to count, it must have been said by one person with as little interruption from other characters as possible. It must be easily understandable without the context of the quote provided. Unnecessarily lengthy quotes will be removed.

The quote must have been featured in a chapter or anime episode (either a new Japanese episode or newly dubbed English episode) released this month.

Posting quotes before the release of the new chapter or episode in English is in violation of the Spoiler Policy. DON'T DO IT!

Votes
How to vote:

It's pretty easy to vote, you just have to add either of the following in the category bearing the quote of your choice.:

Adding a quote is not enough to count as a vote - you must also specifically list a comment supporting the quote. You are not required to vote for the quote you posted.

Only one "Support" vote vote per user.

The "Oppose" vote is to be used only to highlight issues with a candidate.

Kaname Tōsen: Corruption
'''Corruption? Why is moving away from Shinigami and closer to Hollow considered corruption? Those words come from a narrow-minded, two-dimensional argument that separates Shinigami and Hollows into good and evil.'''
 * 1)  I support this simply for the fact that Tōsen is pointing out how perspectives on "corruption" can vary with one's mindset as well as the limitations on a purely dualistic thinking -Mr. N 05:35, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Kaname Tōsen: Fear
'''The most important thing for a soldier is not power, but a heart that fears battle. It is because you fear that battle that you can hold a sword and fight for those that fear battle the same as you do.'''
 * 1)  Loved the when Hisagi said it but it's great to hear the very same lesson from the original founder. IchigoKitty 00:13, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Kaname Tōsen: Suspicious
'''You haven't been suspicious even once until now? Why were you not suspicious of an individual who joined the same organization as the individual who killed his most precious friend!?'''
 * 1)  I think this quote is deep and shows a flaw in Komamura's logic. I don't know how many Tōsen quotes we need, but three seems enough. I like this one better then the other two as it actually somewhat justifies Tōsen's point of view regarding the Soul Reapers(Mostly Komamura). I am voting for it.  Minato  20:27, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Kaname Tōsen: Vision
''' I can see! I can see! I can see! I can see!!! So that's the sky!? And that's blood!? And this is the world!? And that's you? Komamura, You are more hideous than I imagined.'''
 * 1) As much as I dislike Tosen, you can't not identefy with the sentiments of a blind man seeing the world for the very first time. The other reason I like this quote is the irony of telling Komamura how ugly he is while Tosen is such a hideously distorted version of himself. You can just tell that's what Komamura is thinking in the next panel. Weedefinition 15:58, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  The words that a man says when he sees for the first time. Mojito96 13:53, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Sajin Komamura: Justice
'''Yes, it is justice. If our beliefs are irreconcilable, then it is pointless to try and persuade you. For the sake of Soul Society, I must cut you down.'''


 * 1)  Pointing out the harsh reality that sometimes, somethings can only be settled with weapons.  Tinni   (Talk)  14:11, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Sajin Komamura: Friendship
'''If something sad happened in your life, I would be there for you. If something happy happened in my life, I would share it with you. If you strayed from the path, I would admonish you. If you committed an error, I would forgive you. If you found yourself in a predicament, I would provide a foundation on which you could stand. All in order to make this man that had lost his love for the world... be able to love the world once more.'''


 * 1)  When I first read these words, I thought that they were the most heartfelt words ever shown in Bleach. They expose just how much Komamura valued his friendship with Tosen, as well as his motives for being his friend in the first place. The fact that his intentions ultimately fail make the story all the more tragic. Mohrpheus 16:43, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  Dear Lord, I love this quote. I have always liked Komamura, despite how weak for a captain/shounen character he is believed to be, and this quote demostrates precicely why I like Komamura this much: He might not be the most popular or powerful, but indeed, at some point is the one who has the feelings of a human heart, while he's not even an human. Koma-Koma deserves his month's Featurd Quote.MidoriPanda 20:42, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3)  Oh my God, this quote seriously tears me up on the inside in a breathtaking way. When I saw this quote for the first time in the manga, it brought joy to my eyes as I saw for the first time hope in Tousen as a character and a more possible change for the better. I don't believe it is cliche; any quote told like this, in parallel structure and such, should deserve to be the featured Quote of the Month. DCBoy7 19:16, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4)  Excellent quote delivered at an important junction of the series. It shows us the true feelings of Sajin Komamura. It's beautiful and at the same time all most sad. It evokes many emotions which is important in literature. NewFoundGlory 02:33, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5)  Exactly what a true friend would say. Gold3263301 08:07, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6)  This tells us how much Komamura valued his friendship with Tousen. Spoken like a true best friend. Wrath022 16:08, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 7)  Simply, the words of a true friend . Most beautifull and most sorowfull quote, from Bleach . Amagai88 22:49, December 30, 2009 (UTC)Amagai88Amagai88 22:49, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 8)  Utterly support this quote; just shows Komumura's personality a bit more and what he feels Tosen is missing. I can't add anything else what others haven't already said.Glacial Blaze 02:58, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * 9)  This is cliche but it is the words of a true friend, even when his best friend is corrupted and filled with rage and hated. Attacked and brutally beat him Sajin still backed him. Its tragic really cause Tosen didn't deserve a friend like him. Chibilover 23:48, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

I agree, it is indeed a beauiful quote about frienship and it really fits this time of the year... and it's so clichè. I must've heard it around a million times in just the last three days. It really doesn't show big time about Komamura, just that he's been to the cinema or read some fanfiction (no offense, I like Komamura). I mean... the quote is overused. The final dramatic moment of every romantic movie has something around the same lines. It doesn't show something unique or special about a character or the series, so I don't think it should be featured. Lia Schiffer 07:29, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

 * All creatures want to believe in something bigger than themselves. They cannot live without blind obedience. And to escape the pressure of that trust, those in whom faith is placed in turn look for someone higher than themselves. And then people in turn look for someone even stronger. That is how all kings are born. That is how all gods are born. -- Sōsuke Aizen to Shinji Hirako in Chapter 383 (Too Early to Trust)
