Ichigo Kurosaki

 * 1) "Big brothers... you know why they're born first? To protect the little ones that come after them!! What kind of brother says that he'll KILL his own sister?! Even a MONSTER shouldn't say that!!"
 * 2) "At first, I thought "I want to protect Mom." The ones to protect increased with the birth of my sisters. I kept going to a dojo for the sake of protecting them. I got a bit stronger. The ones I thought I wanted to protect became more and more."
 * 3) "I'm not superman, so I can't say anything big like I'll protect everyone on earth. I'm not a modest guy who will say it's enough if I can protect as many people as my two hands can handle either. I want to protect a mountain-load of people."
 * 4) "...If fate is a millstone, then we are the grist. There is nothing we can do. So I wish for strength. If I cannot protect them from the wheel, then give me a strong blade, and enough strength...to shatter fate."


 * Vote
 * 1) Option 2 - I like that quote, highlights Ichigo's main motivator quite well!!
 * 2) Option 4 - Sums up the core of Ichigo's character; protecting his friends is his primary motivation, and gaining more power is his means.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  15:32, April 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 4 - Thats says it all when it comes to ichigo's point of view.--
 * 4) Option 4 - Has about the same meaning as the first three, but expressed in a better way. Kind of shows Ichigo's primary trait.  15:38, April 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 4 - Short, simple, very descriptive of Ichigo.
 * 6) Option 4 - Huh, wasn't aware of this, but I'm all for it. Anyway, Option 4 is a really nice one from Kubo's early days, and I think it perfectly sums up Ichigo as a character.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:19, April 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * 7) Between 3 and 4 for me. I think 4 just wins out.  13:32, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 8) Option 4 - very good representation of Ichigo.

Gremmy Thoumeaux

 * 1) "The most powerful force in this world is "imagination". Anything I imagine, anything at all, becomes reality."


 * Vote:
 * 1) I can't imagine any other quote for him.
 * 2) Pretty much this character in a nutshell  20:15, April 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Pretty simple quote that screams "Gremmy"
 * 4) As above. Sums him up entirely.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:14, April 10, 2014 (UTC)

Kisuke Urahara

 * 1) "A warrior who has lost their ability to fight is only going to be in the way."
 * 2) "Puh-Lease! I'm just a lowly-but-handsome merchant. How could I possibly perform Bankai?"
 * 3) "You give me too much credit. These days, I'm just a plain old candy-store owner."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 - I know Kisuke's personality is that of a goofball, but the other two quotes just don't seem like they'd fit at the top of the page.
 * 2) Option 3 seems very fitting to me - sums up Urahara's former status as a captain to his current exile, and emphasizes how he underplays a lot of his abilities.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:14, April 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 3  - As the person who put forward that quote for consideration, I support it. It shows his funny side but has subtext implying his former position, his true power and personality. -- 17:23, April 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 3 - This is the best description of how Urahara thinks.--
 * 5) Option 3 - A good compromise between his goofy and serious sides.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  00:25, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Option 3 - Best bit about Urahara is the simplistic life he leads pretending that he isn't all that powerful!!

Orihime Inoue

 * 1) "If I'm just going to be a hindrance to Kurosaki-kun, to everyone, then it's far better to be lonely."
 * 2) "Ohhhh, I wish I could live life five times over. Then I’d be born in five different places, and I’d stuff myself with different food from around the world... I’d live five different lives with five different occupations... and then, for those five times... I’d fall in love with the same person..."
 * 3) "Maybe it's impossible to feel exactly the same way as another person, but it's possible for people to care about one another and to place their hearts as close together as they can manage. I'm sure that's what it means to make your hearts as one."
 * 4) "I don't care about "subtle". If you don't want to get hurt, then don't attack until I say it's all right."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 4 does it for me. Really shows how much Orihime's steeled up over the timeskip.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:48, April 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 4 - I guess this is ok.--
 * 3) Option 4 - Orihime is gentle but resolved by nature, and this one captures that pretty well.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  00:34, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 4 Yeah, that one works pretty well.

Yasutora Sado

 * 1) "Ichigo wants to save her. Ichigo went all out for her, and that's enough. That's all the reason I need to put my life on the line for anything."
 * 2) "The truth is, I don't like doing things like dealing the deathblow to opponents who have lost the will to fight. But this time, it seems I can't even say such naive things."
 * 3) "Because you fought me with all your might, I was able to grasp my power. Thanks. Because of you, I'll be able to tough it out ahead. I'll spare your life and pray for your good fortune."
 * 4) "Because I made a promise. I won't swing my fist for myself. I made that promise with my Abuelo."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 fits him the most, in my opinion.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:48, April 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 - Sums it up for me.--
 * 3) Option 1 - "Because Ichigo is my bro," pretty much sums up his character motivation, so yeah.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  00:26, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 1 - for all given reasons!!
 * 5) Option 4 (Adding this one in) - Good Chad quote about his Grandfather. I was looking through 107 for something good about the coin and found that instead.
 * 6) Option 1. 4 is good too, but I think 1.  13:28, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

Isshin Kurosaki

 * 1) "Silence! No matter what reason, to he who disrupts this household’s iron harmony, only a punishment of blood can be rendered!"
 * 2) "Live well, age well, and go bald well. And die after me. And... if you can, die smiling. If I can't, I won't be able to face Masaki. Don't hesitate to act. Sadness is a cool thing to shoulder, but you're still too young."
 * 3) "I'll take care of everything at the house! While I'm still around, I won't allow anyone to hurt my family. Ah! What I just said was so cool! That sentence is pretty useful."
 * 4) "Even if you have no interest in me, I'm still here to kill you, so if you don't treat me as your opponent it would be a problem."


 * Vote:
 * 1) I like Option 2 a lot. It mixes Isshin's comedic and serious sides pretty well, and is a really nice quote from him.--Xilinoc (talk) 01:28, April 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 4 - Isshin when he gets serious, this is the shinigami in him.--
 * 3) Option 2 - Some fatherly wisdom. Captures his serious side despite remaining in character as an ordinary dad.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  00:34, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 4 - Love this line for Isshin and the scene!!
 * 5) Option 2 - A little more descriptive of Isshin than a quote he used in a fight against Fisher.
 * 6) Option 2 - This is the only good quote that really feels like Isshin. Option 4 could be any character, but 2 really feels Isshin-specific. -- 17:03, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 7) Option 2 stands out best to me from these.  13:28, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

Äs Nödt

 * 1) "True fear occurs without reason, without bounds. It is like a swarm of insects crawling up the body. We cannot escape from our instincts."
 * 2) "My only fear is to be rebuked by His Majesty! To be rebuked by His Majesty and have all of this body taken from me! Compared to such terror, mere battle can hold no fear, no pain, nothing!"
 * 3) "I will not kill you. I will not kill you. I will not kill you! Under no circumstances will I bring about your death! I will not allow you to lose consciousness or even your sanity! I will submerge you in an ocean of pain and fear, and cause you to live out an eternity wishing for the bliss of death!"
 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 - Pretty much sums up Äs and fear.  17:03, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 - yeah, that's a damn good As quote.
 * 3) Option 1 - Ditto. Sums up his philosophy.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  21:18, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 1 is his magnum opus, imo. Simple, straightforward, and frighteningly true.--Xilinoc (talk) 00:12, April 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 1 - don't think I even need elaborate n this one.  13:28, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

Uryū Ishida

 * 1) "You want an attack full of "killing intent"? Then come get me. My bow is full of it."
 * 2) "You're asking if this is a bow? Of course it is. You think I would use anything else?"
 * 3) "I have not exterminated you so that you can relay a message to Aizen. Tell him the Quincy are here, and that in reality, it's not the Shinigami he should fear, but rather the Quincy!"
 * 4) "I swear on the pride of the Quincy, I will kill you."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 3 summarizes him and his pride in the Quincy - a major facet of his character - quite well.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:48, April 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 3 - I'll go with this one.--
 * 3) Option 4 - Pretty much the Quincy tagline, according to Mayuri.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  00:34, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 4 - Yeah, that's great.
 * 5) Option 3 - Both 3 and 4 are okay I guess, but 3 wins for me since it's a bit more elaborate.  17:03, April 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Option 4  13:28, April 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * 7) Option 4

Yoruichi Shihōin

 * 1) "Girls these days are all talk and no muscle."

Vote:
 * 1) This is literally the only quote on her page that actually reflects her personality, and I love it.--Xilinoc (talk) 14:18, April 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Actually pretty much the only possible quote. -- 14:35, April 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) I thought there would have been more but hey work with what you got.--
 * 4) Seems to fit for her, even if it is filler.

Masaki Kurosaki

 * 1) "To me, "taking proper care of myself" means making sure I do what I can in the here and now. Because if I decided not to take action because of rules and customs and somebody died because I did nothing, I don't think I'd be able to forgive myself for that."
 * 2) "It's not anyone's fault that Masaki died. It's just that, the woman I fell in love with was a woman who could die protecting her son. And don't forget, you are the guy the woman that I loved gave her life to protect."
 * 3) "Masaki was just like the sun. Exerting her pull, accepting and shining upon everything, until the whole world seemed to revolve around her."

Vote:
 * 1)  Option 3 - Due to there being so few quotes from Masaki, I think it would be the best to use a quote from another character regarding her, thus I think option 3 is best. -- 14:35, April 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 - technically this is the only actual quote from Masaki. Though i have issue with the length, still its really good.--
 * 3) I like Option 1 a lot.--Xilinoc (talk) 16:49, April 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 1 I think it should definitely be shortened, it's way too long but it shows her dedication!!
 * 5) Option 1 is the only quote from her, and while it's long, it definitely fits. FutureQuincy (talk) 00:01, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Option 1 In addition to being something she herself actually said, it does say a lot about her personality. Arrancar109  (Talk)  01:48, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 7) Gonna break the mold here and go with Gin's opinion on Option 3. It may not be a quote from her, but for someone who hasn't been in many scenes alive (especially not before Everything But the Rain), I think that quote by Isshin fits more than the first option.

Zangetsu (Quincy Powers)

 * 1) "I hate rain. It rains in here, too. When you are moody, it becomes cloudy. When you are sad, the rain comes down... I can't stand it. Can you understand? How horrible it is to get rained on when you are all alone in an empty world?"
 * 2) "My only goal is to make you more powerful. You have surpassed my expectations. There is nothing left for me to teach. Whether or not you have the strength to defeat me in combat is up to you, and the cold truth is, even if you were to fall to my blade, I would be content with the outcome."
 * 3) "Ichigo. You have become strong. I have had the pleasure of standing by your side all this time, watching you grow. What greater happiness can there be? I am satisfied."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 3 is one of the most powerful moments of the current arc, and really sums up Zangetsu's new view of Ichigo.--Xilinoc (talk) 16:49, April 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 3 Manly tears were shed at this moment. FutureQuincy (talk) 00:01, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 3, since it shows that Old Man Zangetsu was affected deeply by Ichigo's actions, and is finally ready to let Ichigo reach his true potential. Arrancar109  (Talk)  01:48, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 3 Now that is a good top of page quote.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto

 * 1) "There is no individual sense of justice that can overrule the justice of the world."
 * 2) "Why, precisely, do you think I have served as Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 for a thousand years? Because in all those thousand years, no Shinigami was born to rival me in strength."
 * 3) "I am glad that you at least abandoned your childlike form. As a result, I can slaughter you without hesitation."

Vote:
 * 1) Option 2 suits him the most, in my opinion. Such a badass statement.--Xilinoc (talk) 14:18, April 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 I think this gives a better look at his personality. -- 14:35, April 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 1 or 2 this is hard both reflect Yamamoto, either his sense of justice or the blatant fact of his power.--
 * 4) Option 2 pretty much sums up his powerful nature perfectly. FutureQuincy (talk) 00:01, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 1 same reason as Ginhikari  00:36, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Option 2, for the same reasons as Xil and Quincy. Arrancar109  (Talk)  01:48, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 7) Gonna go with Option 1 here. It screams "top of page quote" more to me.
 * 8) Option 2 I feel like 1 more reflects his personality before he was "softened up," but 2 remained true even until the very end.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  16:40, April 26, 2014 (UTC)

Ryūken Ishida

 * 1) "How many times do I have to tell you, there is no point in saving the dead. That's a Shinigami's job. You should learn how to save the people who are alive."


 * Vote:
 * 1) This is the one quote of his that makes sense out of context, and even though I had to remove the latter half in order to keep it at a manageable size, I think it still defines him quite well...especially given what we saw in Everything But the Rain.--Xilinoc (talk) 01:07, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Yeah, I like it.
 * 3) Yes.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  16:44, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Suitable quote  14:21, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

Retsu Unohana

 * 1) "While it is good to be energetic, please remain quiet inside the hospital. As long as you are still inside this building, your lives are in our hands. Please do not forget that."
 * 2) "The act of saving a comrade in need should require no thanks."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 - Shows her kind side whilst implying her scary nature. -- 13:20, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 works best.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:12, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 1 is yes.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  16:44, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 1: Not that there were ever many suitable ones for her, but this works well enough.  14:21, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 2 Short and sweet, and good description of Unohana as she appeared through most of the series.

Cang Du

 * 1) "Those who spend their lives together should remain together in death."
 * 2) "I'm not a believer in pantheism."
 * 3) "I will not be slain by any hand but His Majesty's!"


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 - Best look into his philosophy. -- 13:20, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 works best.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:12, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 1 without "That is my belief" because it is already implied.  02:50, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 1 works pretty well.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  16:44, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 1 Yep

Rukia Kuchiki

 * 1) "In a battle, the ones who get in the way are not the ones that lack power, but the ones that lack resolve."
 * 2) "I know the loneliness of being a prisoner. I know the joy you feel when your friends come to rescue you and the fear of them being injured and defeated."
 * 3) "It is the duty of a Shinigami to protect humans such as yourself. I will not raise my blade against you."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 - Best representation of Rukia. -- 13:20, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 works best.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:12, April 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 1 I thought there would be more, but I can't think of any. This one works.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  16:44, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 1 I believe this quote represents her well. Mr.Rig and Zig 20:08, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 1 Great quote, fits really well with Rukia

Coyote Starrk

 * 1) "I so envied the weak. The weak can always find others to be around. I want to be weak. And if that's impossible, I at least want to find companions who are as strong as I."
 * 2) "No point fighting when it's just gonna mean more dying. So can we just go home and sleep now?"
 * 3) "I'm not alone. I'm not alone. I'm not alone any more..."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 - There are really two main aspects to Starrk: solitude and laziness. Out of these two, Solitude is the most important due to it being his aspect of death. I think this quote represents his solitude pretty well. -- 17:37, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 highlights his theme of solitude pretty well. Also implies his strength.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  19:12, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 1 is incredibly legit.--Xilinoc (talk) 00:53, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 1, as it defines who Starrk is. Arrancar109  (Talk)  01:32, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 1 shows off what Starrk is very well.  14:21, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Option 1 Everyone else said why

Cirucci Sanderwicci

 * 1) "Arrancar are warriors, and the Espada are their leaders. We are born to kill the enemy and win. There is no such thing as an acceptable loss!"


 * Vote:
 * 1) The only possible quote -- 17:37, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Slim pickings.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  19:12, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Works for me.--Xilinoc (talk) 00:53, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Given how long she was shown, this works best. Arrancar109  (Talk)  01:32, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 1 I mean, the other three options here are good and all, but....

Riruka Dokugamine

 * 1) "I want to spend my whole life collecting all kinds of different things I like until I'm crushed to death by the weight of them!"
 * 2) "I will never become dirty. I will always be clean and cute. Even when I die."
 * 3) "Anything I wanted could be mine. I just had to hide it away."
 * 4) "'Survival of the fittest' is just a pretty lie that they tell you. A lie to make weak people believe that if they try their best, they can come out on top. Truth is, it isn't the weak that get eaten. It's not about strength, it's about numbers."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 - Feels best for her. -- 17:37, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 is also yes.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  19:12, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 4 reflects the more serious side of her personality, so it works for me.--Xilinoc (talk) 00:53, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Option 4. Xil pretty much gave my reason why. Arrancar109  (Talk)  01:32, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 4 has a bit more substance behind it.  14:21, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Option 3 Good quote about the true nature of her Dollhouse.

Sōsuke Aizen

 * 1) "No one stands on the top of the world. Not you, not me, not even gods. But the unbearable vacancy of the throne in the sky is over. From now on...I will be sitting on it."
 * 2) "It is the nature of all living things to find some being greater than themselves and place their trust in that being, following it blindly. In order to escape from the pressure of that trust, those beings seek a still greater entity in which to believe, and those greater beings too seek still greater, still stronger beings to follow. This is how all kings come to be, and this is how all Gods are born."
 * 3) "The laws of nature are for beings who must live their lives bound by them. Now, shall we carry on? To a place beyond all laws."
 * 4) "The Sōsuke Aizen you knew...never existed to begin with."
 * 5) "You should not dwell on the betrayal that you can see. The truly terrifying betrayal is that which lies utterly hidden from your eyes."

 * 7) "A victor must speak not of the current state of the world, but of how it should rightfully be."


 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 3 - Both 1 and 3 are great, but 3 is just a bit better. -- 12:00, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 works best.--Xilinoc (talk) 13:47, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Option 1 Great Aizen quote
 * 4) Option 1 Pretty much sums up Aizen's personality and philosophy. Mr.Rig and Zig 16:09, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 1 A lot of these more or less sum up the same character trait, but 1 is just a classic. The "Karakura" pun still impresses me to this day.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  18:33, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
