WHEN BOREDOM STRIKES.

"We fear that which we cannot see... we respect that which we cannot see... thus the blade will be wielded." - opening words of the first episode (Bleach)

"What a letdown, Kurosaki-san. A real letdown. After all, there's nothing but fear reflected in your sword. When you dodge, 'I'm afraid of getting cut.' When you attack, 'I'm afraid of cutting someone.' Even when you try to protect someone, 'I'm afraid of letting them die.' Yes, your sword speaks to me only of absurd fear. That's not it. What's necessary in a fight isn't fear. Nothing can be born from that. If you dodge, 'I won't let them cut me.' If you protect someone, 'I won't let them die.' If you attack, 'I'll cut them.' Well, can't you see the resolve to cut you reflected in my sword?" - Urahara Kisuke (Bleach)


"You know why big brothers are born first? To protect the little ones that come after them." - Ichigo (Bleach)

"On the day we left, we burned down the family home and all the familiar things inside. Because some memories... aren't meant to leave traces." - Alphonse Elric (Full-Metal Alchemist)

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." - Various Characters (Detective Conan)

"Unless I grip the sword, I can not protect you. While gripping the sword I can not embrace you." - Ichigo (Bleach)
