“Do you really intend to lose even more of your friends for something like that? I'll pass on that. As long as I'm alive, I'll live by my own rules. I'll live as I see fit and protect that which I hold dear.”
“Katsura, just stop this. No matter how elegant you think dying is, your death won't appease your conscience and won't change anything.”
“I'll always be by your side, just like the wind that flows through your hair.”
“Sebastian, you know what to do.”
“To me, the world is not only the shape on the map. On the battle field, all I see are the faces of the order and my friends... I am an awful person aren't I? Instead of the real world, all I care about is my friends. That's because they are my whole world... Even if just one of my friends dies, to me, it's the same thing as part of the world being destroyed.”
“Gintoki, will you take up your sword once again to cleanse this rotting nation? Lend me the strength of the fearsome white demon once again. [flashback to when they were fighting together] Is this it? Rather than falling into enemy hands, we should kill ourselves and die as warriors.”
“You destroyed those Menos Grandes. That's enough for me! I have decided to fight by your side! I won't accept no as an answer, masked ones!”
“Don't retreat, Tetsuzaemon. No matter what. You stand firm right behind me!”
“Whenever you fight from this point on, there is one thing you must never do. Which is...to die alone.”
“The fight to protect life and the fight to protect honor——that's Captain Ukitake's policy. But you know, Kuchiki...I think that in the end, those both end up being the same thing. ...Heart.”
“But don't forget... as long as you're in my division, I'm on your side until death and beyond.”
“I got no intentions of becoming a captain. Becoming a captain would mean that I can't fight under Captain Zaraki. If your wish is to surpass Kuchiki Byakuya... then I just have one wish: to fight and die under that man's command. That's all.”
“[to Momo on Aizen's final letter] As a vice-captain, I think it's a great honor to be the receiver of her captain's final words. Read it well.”
“When we die, our bodies disintegrate and become part of the reishi that make up Soul Society. And when that time comes...where does your heart go? It gets passed on to your nakama (comrades). If you pass it on to them, then your heart will always live on within them. Kuchiki, that's why...you must never, ever, ever die alone. Got it, Kuchiki?”
“If you were in this situation, what would you have done? You would run after Byakuya...And then kick him in the butt, right? No matter how one captain complains, the Central Government won't change their decision for one person. But if it was you, you would still run around appealing to save Kuchiki...No. You would probably do something completely different. You always chose the path that lead to the most danger. Am I right...Kaien?”
“[to Renji] I assure you, my gratitude is sincere.”
“That's right...If I'm the first one here, I can save Kuchiki-san. Kurosaki must've wanted to rescue her himself...If I did it, he'd get really pissed...Heheheh...”
“No matter what may happen... As long as you walk by my side... There shall be no enemy that can stand before us.”
“Do we really have to fight, Yama-jii?”
“[lying about coming to save Rukia] Just passing by. No big deal.... Well, if you must know, I felt a sudden urge to go to Sunflower Seams, that 24-hour dressmaking shop. There's a branch near here. That's where I was headed at this late hour. I certainly didn't bring this bag with me just so I would have an excuse for suddenly leaving the house because I sensed the spirit energy of a shinigami, all right?”
