Quotes from Bleach (TV, 2004)

Mayuri Kurotsuchi: There is nothing in this world that is truly "perfect". Though it may be a rather large cliché, it is still the truth. It is the ordinary people who look up to "perfection" as an ideal and seek after it. But in truth, what is this idea of "perfection" truly worth? Nothing. Not a single thing. I detest "perfection". To be "perfect" is to be unable to improve any further. There would be no scope for "creation", not a single gap in one's knowledge or one's ability. Do you see now? To true scientists like you and I, "Perfection" is tantamount to "despair". We aspire to reach greater levels of brilliance than ever before, but never, never, to reach perfection. That is the paradox through which we scientists must struggle. Indeed, it is our duty to find pleasure in that struggle. In other words, the second you allowed yourself to spout a ridiculous word like "perfect", in truth, you had already been defeated. That is if you wish to be treated as a scientist.

Sosuke Aizen: Believing is the same as relying. That is something the weak do.

Shinji: Since when? I'm asking you when you used your Kyokasuigetsu!
Aizen: Then let me ask you this. When did you think that I wasn't using my Kyokasuigetsu?

Sosuke Aizen: This world was never about truth or lies. There are only hard facts. Despite that, everyone who exist in this world mistakenly believes that only facts that are favorable to them are truths. They know no other way to live. But for the powerless who make up most of the world, facts that act against them are the only truths.

Kūgo: Ever fantasize about being inside a game?
Ichigo: What're you talking about?
Kūgo: Admit it. Every kid's thought about it. Nothing to be embarrassed about.
Ichigo: I can't say I never thought about it, but...
Kūgo: Is that so? I've never wanted to, not even once.

Ichigo: How many sets of a hundred pushups are you gonna make me do?!
Kūgo: That was only your fourteenth set. ... Why don't you do one more set to match your name?
Ichigo: You had to say that! I hate those kinds of puns!
Kūgo: Liar. I know you wear a T-shirt that says "15" on it.

Byakuya Kuchiki: Disdain your way of fighting without using your own hands. Stealing people's feelings and drive them into despair is the act of a coward. A shameless person only deserves to die.

Hitsugaya: Kuchiki and Kuchiki aren't here.
Ikkaku: Can you refer to them by first names, sir? You're confusing us.
