Bleach: The Sealed Sword Frenzy (2005)

If history repeats itself, and moves in a circular path, then believing that whatever force is turning it is perfect, is all we can do as we move ahead. Pushed along by forces beyond our control, waiting, for the blade to be swung.

People are able to hold onto hope, since death is that which cannot be seen.

What was that?! Don’t think that I don’t know! Ever since you lost to those Arrancars, you haven’t took the form of shinigami even once! What are you afraid of?! Chad got hurt! Inoue got hurt! So what?! Have you always been the man who loses his spirit over little things like that?! Is it scary to lose?! Is it scary not being able to protect your friends?! Or is it … Scary to face the hollow inside you?! If you’re afraid of losing, just get stronger. If you’re afraid not being able to protect your friends, swear you’ll get stronger until you can protect them. If you’re afraid of the hollow inside you, just get stronger until you can crush him. If you don’t want to listen to others, then hold your chin up and yell those words to yourself! THAT’S THE KIND OF MAN YOU HAVE BEEN IN MY HEART, ICHIGO!

We stand in awe before that which cannot be seen, and we respect with every fiber that which cannot be explained.

Wir dürfen keine Tränen vergießen. Es käme einer Kapitulation unseres Körpers gegenüber unserem Herzen gleich und es wäre nicht mehr als ein Beweis dafür, dass wir unser Herz von nun an nicht länger unter Kontrolle haben.

In a battle, the ones who get in the way are not the ones that lack power, but the ones that lack resolve.

You know why big brothers are born first? To protect the little ones that come after them.

If miracles only happen once, what are they called the second time?

I’m not Superman, so I can’t say anything big like "I’ll protect everyone on Earth!". I’m not a modest guy who will say "It’s enough if I can protect as many people as my two hands can handle." either. I want to protect…a mountain-load of people.

You nuts?! What kind of sick twisted freak attacks his own son while he’s laying in bed, sleeping?!

Because he attained so much power, he could only be controlled by it. And in the end, maybe his only option was to destroy himself.

If you want revenge, do it on your own! Don’t draw innocent people into it!

Dude, that name is so lame.

Unless I grip the sword, I cannot protect you. While gripping the sword, I cannot embrace you.

The moment I came out of that hole was the moment your luck ran out!

How did I pass? She beat me like I owed her money.

In my mind this jacked-up sideways ridiculousness is the normal state?

You wanted revenge? You’re just making other people as miserable as you. Revenge is just the path you took to escape your suffering.

If fate is a millstone, then we are the grist. There is nothing we can do. So I wish for strength. If I cannot protect them from the wheel, then give me a strong blade, and enough strength… to shatter fate.

Become strong not just for your own sake, but for your friends.

If you give me wings, I will soar for you even if this whole land sinks down to the water. If you give me a sword, I will fight for you even if this whole sky shoots through with your light.

The difference in ability… What about it? Do you think I should give up just because you’re stronger than me?

Don’t break anyone’s heart, they only have one. Break their bones, they have 206.

If I’m protecting someone, I won’t let her die, and if I’m attacking, I’ll cut you.

It’s meaningless to just live, and it’s meaningless to just fight. I want to win.

Worrying about a warrior’s life on the battlefield is only an insult.

We the warriors, go now to the field of battle! believe that our blades will not shatter! believe that our spirits will not break! even if we walk separate paths, our iron resolve shall remain united! swear! that even if the ground crumbles beneath us…. we shall return here, alive, again!

I suppose it is only to be expected. You have my pity. There is no such thing as ‘truth’ or ‘lies’ in this world; there never has been. There is only plain, hard facts. And yet, all beings who exist in this world take only those ‘facts’ that are convenient to them, and take them to be the ‘truth’. They do so because they know no other way to live. However, for those powerless beings that make up the majority of this world it is those ‘facts’ that are inconvenient for their own self-affirmation that make up the real ‘truth’.

Don’t use such strong words…it makes you look weak.

Admiration is the furthest thing from understanding.

No one stands on the top of the world. Not you, not me, not even gods. But the unbearable vacancy of the throne in the sky is over. From now on…I will be sitting on it.

It’s always a lot easier to let something fall apart than it is to try to hold it together.

We are all like fireworks. We climb, shine, and always go our separate ways and become further apart. But even if that time comes, let’s not disappear like a firework, and continue to shine forever.

I didn’t come here to fight you! I came to violently kill you!

The curtain that falls down at the end, shall be pulled down by the blade of my sword.

If the law is not applicable to the nobles, then it will not applicable to anyone…

I have already told you. You and I… Our levels are as distant as the earth from the heavens. …Must I spell it out for you? I have discarded my left arm, discarded my left leg, …and yet even so, I have not nearly lowered myself to your level.

Hubris softens the earth beneath the feet of victory.

Be proud, that after receiving my blade you still retain the shape of a human.

People discover their true, inner powers when they want to protect something. Their own lives, status, honor, loved ones, a principle … a fierce desire to protect is the key.

Remember this well. There are two types of fights. As we have put our lives in battle, we must be able to distinguish between the two. The fight to protect life, and the fight to protect pride.

Well can’t you see, the resolve to cut you reflected in my sword?

In your sword, all I see is fear.
When you attack, “you are afraid to cut someone.”
When you defend, “you are afraid of getting cut.”
When you protect, “you are afraid they will die.”
You’re sword if filled with fear. It’s pathetic, you can’t give into fear in a fight. It won’t help you at all.
When you’re attacking think, “I will cut you.”
When you’re defending think, “I won’t let you hit me.”
When you’re protecting someone think, “I will not let you die.”

Theres no way a mere, handsome, SEXY, merchant like me could use something like Banki!

You want a reason… for fighting? Why don’t you just accept it already, Ichigo?! You seek out fights. You desire power. Isn’t that right, Ichigo? Everyone who searches for power, without exception, searches for battle! Do you fight in order to become more powerful? Or do you want more power so you can fight? I can’t tell you that. The only thing I know for sure is guys like us were born this way! We were born to fight, Ichigo! Your instincts will keep leading you toward new battles. It’s the only way you have. The only way to become stronger. Fight, Ichigo! If you want the power to control your enemy, take that sword in your hand and cut him down! That’s your only option! That’s the road that continues in front of you and remains behind you! Ichigo.

I’m literally hemorrhaging generosity.

Sanity? Sorry, but I don’t remember having such a useless thing in the first place.

I can bask in the valley of the gods!
