“If it rusts, it can never be trustedIf its owner fails to control it, it will cut himYes, pride is like a blade”

“Well if that's the kind of pride you're talking about, you can bet your ass, I'm going to mess with it.”

“If fate is a millstone, 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”

“We must never shed tearsThat is the life form’s defeat and if we give into the emotions then it only becomes proof of our inability to control it.”

“Never admit defeat and ask for a quick death! Die first, then admit defeat! If you are defeated but didn't die, it just means you were lucky! At those times, think only about survival! Survive and think only about killing the one who failed to kill you!~Kenpachi Zaraki”

“Remember this well. There are two kind of fights. As long as we place ourselves in battle, we must always know the difference: fights to defend life… and fights to defend pride…”

“As we approach the crucial battleground, believe that our blades will not shatter.Believe that our resolve will not weaken.Though our paths may diverge, our iron hearts remain together.Swear, that though the land itself may break asunder...We will come back alive! ~Renji Abarai”
