“Shizuo Heiwajima, the strongest man in Ikebukuro: "I just want the ability to control myself. That's the kind of strength I want.”

“The top has no limits. We can keep on climbing. That's what people do. No-- That's what I do.”

“I can't bring myself to trust you. But even if you were to betray me, and even if you were to become my enemy... would it be okay for me to love? Could you... let me love you?”

“If you truly want to escape the ordinary, you'll simply need to keep evolving. Whether what you seek is above or below.”

“If you want to reach the non-everyday, you’ll either have to move somewhere else or get into more “underground” things. But once you step into that world, it’ll only take about three days for that to seem normal, too. If you truly want to continue escaping from everyday life, you’ve no other choice but to keep evolving. No matter whether you’re aiming higher or lower. Enjoy each day for what it is”

“It's okay. You don't have to worry about anything. That's because I'm here.”

“For us, the playground of fiction is just as important as reality”
