Bleach Wiki:Featured Quote

'''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 January 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!

Sōsuke Aizen: Equal Power
"Distance only has meaning in a fight between those who possess equal power. With you and I, distance holds no meaning at all. Watch. If I do this, my hand is almost instantly at your heart." -- Sōsuke Aizen to Ichigo Kurosaki in Chapter 388

Sajin Komamura: Protecting Ichigo Kurosaki
"Do not let him get the best of you, Kurosaki Ichigo. Provocation is his speciality. Lose yourself and you will lose your live as well. Rest assured. We know the reason why the captains who went to Hueco Mundo sent you here first. We will not let you witness Aizen's Shikai. We will fight and protect you."-- Sajin Komamura to Ichigo Kurosaki in Chapter 388 (Eagle Without Wings 2 [Extreme Battlemasters Mix])

Sōsuke Aizen: Without Hatred
"At this moment, you possess no hatred and are swinging your sword only out of a sense of duty. That will not work against me. A will to fight without hatred is like an eagle without wings. You can't protect anything with it. Your helpless friends serve as nothing more than weights to hold you back." -- Sōsuke Aizen to Ichigo Kurosaki in Chapter 388


 * Although not a replica per se, this quote doesn't add anything new to the character or the series. It's just another of Aizen's mundane attempts to rattle his opponents out of their self confidence and composure before the first strike. Therefore I consider it inferior to other quotes.

Soifon: Meaning Of Battle
"Don't be mistaken. We haven't come here prepared to die. We're fighting to live. All of the protecting the world nonsense is nothing more than a grand cause with a nice ring to it. We're fighting so that we can live. So that you can live and to protect everyone else from Aizen's grasp" -- Soifon to Ichigo Kurosaki in Chapter 389


 * 1)  I think this is by far the most important speech made for Ichigo. It's important because Soifon has never shown any outspoken support for Ichigo, and has basically been treating him like a spec in her periferal vision: something that bothers you, but not enough for you to go out of your way to eliminate, maybe because Yoruichi holds him to such high regard. This new stance about Ichigo, as if in part the hopes of Soul Society and the Goteu 13 rely on him, is a side of Soifon we've never encountered before. Toshiro is one of Ichigo's friends, and Komamura and Kyoraku have been supportive of Ichigo before, or at least not unsupportive. To admit that she has faith in Ichigo is a big change in my image of Soifon.  Weedefinition   (Talk)  10:11, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  This quote represents the cold, harsh reality of the scenario - if Ichigo, the person they all put their trust into, fails to defeat Aizen, then everybody is screwed. She makes it clear to Ichigo that nobody there has the intention of dying, implying an almost selfish motive for fighting on her part. It also serves to clear away Ichigo's doubts, as well as his reservations about relying on others. Mohrpheus 21:27, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) This is Soifon`s first outspoken support for Ichigo, despite her almost selfish motive for fighting . Amagai88 21:47, January 26, 2010 (UTC)Amagai88Amagai88 21:47, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4)  Woooohw!!! If this isn't a real peptalk...Almatsumoto 16:37, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5)  This speech is what made Ichigo realizes that he should believe in everyone and to not carry the burden of battle by himself. He knows that he can rely on his friends to help him defeat Aizen. And most surprising, this speech is from Soifon, who has never really like him or even show any sign that she considered him as an ally. It's proof that everyone has faith in Ichigo and Ichigo must tries his best to deafeat Aizen. DeliManjoo 04:08, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

Tōshirō Hitsugaya: How A Captain Fights
"Swinging your blade out of a sense of duty is what a captain does. Swinging your blade out of hate is nothing more than base violence. Captains don't refer to that as fighting" -- Toshiro Hitsugaya to Sosuke Aizen in Chapter 389

Ichimaru Gin: Aizen's True Strength
''"The real reason why captain Aizen is scary isn't because he can use Kyouka Suigetsu. Kyouka Suigetsu is a fearsome ability, but if that was all he had, there would still exist a ton of enemies who would resist him even if their lives were threatened. Those ridiculous Espada each had their own expectations, but as for why they managed to stay together as one single group...there's only one reason: He's strong. It's because all of captain Aizen's abilities are far removed from any other. "Be careful of Kyouka Suigetsu?" Not gonna cut it. That's being careless. "Be careful of all else?" Nope. Still careless. Even if you were to generally utilize all your knowledge and be wary of all sorts of misfortunes that might happen, like the sky falling, or the Earth ripping open, captain Aizen's abilities lie far, far above such care." -- Ichimaru Gin thinking to himself from Chapter 390''

Hirako Shinji : The burden of battle
" Don't bear this burden alone and don't give me any cheek. This fight belongs to all of us. " - Hirako Shinji saying to Ichigo Kurosaki.


 * 1)  Ichigo really needed to hear that.  Tinni   (Talk)  08:56, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  It shows that it's not everything revolting around Ichigo being a martir and saving the world yet again. And it gives the idea of the climax of the story, everything that has been happenning from the beginning was meant to reach this point. Great quote. Lia Schiffer 20:50, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll admit, these words are inspirational, but compared to the other motivational dialogue in the very same chapter, I believe that this quote is inferior. Even after hearing this, Ichigo is left in a daze, reluctant to accept the battle is not just his. In conjunction with my support for Soifon's quote, I must say that since her words are what made Ichigo remember what was important (via a Byakuya flashback, but he-don't-count), they deserve to be featured more than Shinji's. Mohrpheus 21:27, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Sōsuke Aizen: Without Hatred

 * Aizen is so full of it. It's such an obvious lie, there was no need for Komamura's warning. Ichigo wasn't going to buy into this BS. Weedefinition 14:33, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not a valid reason.

Sōsuke Aizen: Equal Power

 * 1)  Couples well with the featured picture I voted for. This shows that Aizen can maintain his cool even after being attacked from behind, that he has faith in his power, and that he truly believes Ichigo cannot best him. One eye 01:43, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

 * 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. -- Sajin Komamura reflecting on his friendship with Kaname Tōsen in Chapter 386 (The Bestial)

December, 2009
 * 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)
