Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryusai — memorable quote from Bleach

“Remember that a sword held by someone who is about to die… will never be able to protect anything.”

“(To Ichigo Kurosaki before getting shot point-blank by his Cero) I see. So you show no mercy. Just like a true Hollow. I care not. Defeated by you as I stand, my existence holds no further meaning. Do it.”

“About Whitebeard "Even in death, his body did not fall. His figure, taking down enemies while losing half of his head, was truly monstrous. The total number of sword wounds he received in this battle was 267. He was shot by 152 bullets. And was hit by 46 cannonballs. And despite all this, his proud back, over the course of his entire life as a pirate, never received a single scar from running away!"”

“A warrior would rather die, than survive defeat.”

“And so it all begins. This boy's name is Yusuke. He's 14 years old and is supposed to be the hero of the story... but oddly enough, he's dead.”
