 * 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."

Shinji Hirako

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

 * 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

 * 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!"

 * 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.--

Kenpachi Zaraki

 * 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!"

 * 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:

Mayuri Kurotsuchi

 * 1) "Be quiet. You too, Nemu. Do you want me to cut you up again?"

 * 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!"

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."

 * 2) Option 6 works best for me.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:34, April 28, 2014 (UTC)

 * 4) Option 6. Seems like the best choice. Arrancar109  (Talk)  06:32, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Option 6 - Sacrifices are her thing.--

Chōjirō Sasakibe

 * 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."'

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

 * 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.--

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.

 * 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)

BG9

 * 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)

 * Vote:
 * 1) Option 1 It's between 1 and 2 for me, and I think 1 is just a bit better. -- 08:33, April 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 1 - Her whole issue is reason i think this says it.--

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."

 * 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."

 * 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."


 * Vote:
 * 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."


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