“Though you fight a fierce battle on the outside, your inner world trembles not the slightest.”
“To fight...Or to live...Choose.”
“Ichigo... I hate the rain. Rain falls in this world, too. When your heart is in chaos, this sky becomes clouded. When you are sad, rain falls so terribly easy. Can you understand...the horrible feeling of being pelted by rain when you're all alone in this solitary world? If only to stop that rain, I shall lend you any strength. If you trust in me, I won't let a single drop of rain fall from that sky. Ichigo, trust me...you are not fighting alone.”
“Just how many times must I strain my voice before it will reach you? And yet, nowhere in this world can there be anyone who knows me better than you.”
“*referring to Ichigo* I see. So I still haven't reached you...”
“[When she hops into the bath with Ichigo, but in cat form] What? Are you a little disappointed? Come on, be honest. You are, aren't you? You little pervert!”
“That's enough, Soifon. You remind me of myself. I even think of you sometimes as my little sister.”
“Kisuke and I used to play here when we were kids. We modeled the one under his shop after this one. It was our own secret playground.”
“[thinking after Soifon asks why she didn't take her with her] You've gotten stronger since the last time we were together, Soifon.”
“No matter how many times I do this, it results in a wonderful reaction from you, Ichigo!”
“It looks to me like you've completely lost your touch.”
“Are you sure you don't want to see this smooth skin of a young woman? This will be the last time...”
“Do you remember the first time you walked? No. So you weren't conscious of it. Then why did you walk? Everyone was born knowing how to walk. It's called instinct. That's what this boy reminds me of. He knows he can achieve bankai, so he continues.”
“In three days, I will make this boy stronger than you.”
“It's been a while... Byakuya-bo.”
“You shy, little boy.”
“Can't you tell, Aizen? You no longer have a place to run away to.”
“Ichigo...We can't...Watch any longer...Eachother's backs...I just can't...I just can't help you out anymore.”
“I will defeat him. It may cost my life to do it. However, if I survive, I'll make a promise. The same promise as that time, on the same thing as that time.”
“[in reply to Shunsui Kyōraku] It's true, I know nothing about her (Rukia). It might not be quite enough for me to risk my own life over. But...Ichigo wants to save her. That reason is enough for me.”
