Famous Tite Kubo Quotes

“It’s over. You will die here…alone, with no one by your side. I want to know…if that frightens you.” “I’m not afraid. My friends will come and save me. My heart is already…with them.” “Nonsense. You think your friends can save you? Do you really believe that?” “Yes. When I first heard they’d come to save me…I felt a little happy…but I was terribly sad too. I came here so that they wouldn’t get hurt. Why did they do it? Didn’t they know I wanted to keep them safe? But…feeling Rukia fall…and seeing Ichigo fight…I realized I was wrong. I just didn’t want Ichigo to get hurt. I just wanted everybody to be safe. When I had that thought…I realized…oh. Those guys feel the same. If any of them disappeared like I did…I know I’d come after them. Maybe I don’t feel exactly the way they do…but it’s possible to care about others and to put your heart in sync with theirs. To me that’s what it means to have one heart.” “Heart? You humans toss around that word like it’s nothing…as if it’s something you can hold in the palm of your hand. This eye is mine reflects everything. There is nothing it can’t penetrate. What cannot be seen does not exist. That’s what I’ve always believed. What is a heart? Can it be seen if I rip open this chest of yours? If I crush your skull? Will I find it there?”

“People always have objects of relief and objects of fear. When they step into a place of relief…and are asked why they feel relief…they answer “just because.” The answer is never clear. However when they step into a place of fear…any fool will have a definite reason for their fears. Darkness, coldness, height, confinement, pain, filthiness. They will give you a list of reasons. Because in essence all relief is tied to life. All fears are tied to death. They may not be able to give you a reason to live…but they will most certainly give you a reason not to die. And it’s not limited to creatures with emotions. All those that have life…try to elude death. In other words fear. We are designed to instinctively avoid it. All those who have life…live to avoid fear. They strengthen themselves to avoid fear. They grow in order to avoid fear. That is why…it is not possible for fear to be ineffective. As long as you are alive.”

“I’m not…dead yet. Breathing is so agonizing. To have to endure such agony just to live…living is so cumbersome. I was taught that you either go to heaven or hell when you die. I wonder if it’s easy to breathe in heaven. A place where my body or my head won’t hurt. I hope it is. Is hell an even more agonizing place than this? If it is, I’m scared. I don’t want to go. I don’t. I’m scared. I’m scared of going to hell.”

“The perfect being, huh? There is no such thing as perfect in this world. That may sound cliché, but it’s the truth. The average person admires perfection and seeks to obtain it. But, what’s the point of achieving perfection? There is none. Nothing. Not a single thing. I loathe perfection! If something is perfect, then there is nothing left. There is no room for imagination. No place left for a person to gain additional knowledge or abilities. Do you know what that means? For scientists such as ourselves, perfection only brings despair. It is our job to create things more wonderful than anything before them, but never to obtain perfection. A scientist must be a person who finds ecstasy while suffering from that antimony. In short, the moment that foolishness left your mouth and reached my ears, you had already lost. Of course, that’s assuming you are a scientist”

“You should stand back a little, Orihime. There’s not much we can do here.” “Thanks Uryu…but… I’m sorry. I’m going to stay right here.” I know. You know you’ll only get in the way if you try to help Ichigo. And…even if you could help him…Ichigo wouldn’t want that. She knows all that. Still, she has to fight to hold herself back. Orihime’s waiting…praying for you…believing you’ll win. You’d better not lose, Ichigo. Or else…you’ll have to answer to me. Win Ichigo!”

“Do you realize? Your healing somebody means they’re gonna get themselves hurt again! You heal Ichigo and he’s gonna suffer over and over again!” “You’re…worried about Ichigo too.” “N…no. Hey!!” “I understand. But…I came to terms with that a long time ago. If Ichigo needs my help for something… I will help him. Whatever that may be.” “Hmm…and what if Ichigo hurts himself beyond repair?” “I won’t let him get hurt beyond repair. No matter how devastating his injuries are…I’ll heal all of them!”

“How audacious you are! This is the type of situation when you say I’d like to see what your parents are like!” “Heh heh. You’re right. I’d like to as well.” “… What? You don’t have parents?” “No. I heard they were really abusive. My brother thought they were going to kill me…so he ran away with me when I was a baby.” “Oh. So your brother who’s raising you now is your parent! I’d like to see his face!” “Sorry. He’s dead. A distant aunt is paying for my living expenses right now. She sends less when my grades go down. But thanks to her, I make sure to study. So I’m kind of glad.” “I’m leaving! You bore me!” “Huh?!” “How can you talk about something like that with a smile on your face?? There must be something wrong with you!!” “No. Cuz…I’ve already been saved. I can talk about these things with a smile…thanks to Ichigo.” “You’re so stupid! That’s not what I was asking. It’s not like I was listening to you anyways!!” “I…I’m sorry.” “Bye!” “Wait! You’re really leaving?! Look! There are more donuts left!!” “I don’t want them! I’m tired of eating them! If you want it, you eat it!” “Thank you…Riruka! I knew you were a nice person!” “You’re such an idiot.”

“Don’t you see how arrogant that is?! You soul reapers slay us as though we were vermin. Who do you think you are?! A god?! By what right do you you slaughter us hollows?! Is it because we devour humans?! Who made you their protectors?! No! No one gave you that authority!!! You soul reapers call us evil and slay us because you think you hold the power of justice in your hands!! But you’re just—” “What makes you think I’m acting as a soul reaper? I’m going to slay you because…you…aimed your blade at my pride.”

“I was created, then the Society ordered the destruction of all mods. The day after I was born, the date of my death was set! So I sweated in that pill, just waiting to die. Day after day, my brothers and sisters were killed. Then I got lucky and got shipped out with a load of goods by mistake. Still, I always expected to be discovered and destroyed. I had a lot of time to think about things. I decided no one has the right to take a life. I exist! I should have the right to live and die freely!! Like humans, or even bugs. Even a mod should have that right. So I refuse to take a life. I won't kill ...not anything!”

“The saying 'survival of the fittest' is a smoke screen. It's to give the weak the illusion that they too can be predators if they try hard enough. You're not eaten because you're weak. You're eaten because there are fewer of you. Those that become predators are always the numerous, incompetent and the loudest. You and everybody else realize that, but pretend not to see it." (Riruka)”

“Wait! Orihime! Where are you going?” “To save Ichigo!” “Wait! He’s fine! The one who kidnapped him was the boss at the place he works!” “His boss?” “She said so herself! There’s no mistake!” “You’re sure it wasn’t some weirdo?” “Well, sure she seemed weird, but everyone he hangs out with is weird to a degree!” “You’re right! That goes for me and you too.” “Huh?! Well…yeah, I guess.”

“Why do I just feel loneliness flowing from his sword? “Well done realizing it. The final getsuga tensho can only be achieved by accepting my blade.” “… there’s no pain.” “Of course not. Tensa Zangetsu is you. If you choose to accept it, there should be no pain.” “Why are you crying?” “Ichigo… do you remember what i said when this fight began? That what you wanted to protect wasn’t what I wanted to protect?” “Yeah.” “What I wanted to protect was…you…Ichigo.”

“Fullbring is the ability of love! It’s the ability to draw out the maximum power of something a person loves! A guy like Ginjo who only likes his pendant…turns that pendant into a weapon to fight with! But not me!! I love a lot of things. And I’ll keep looking for new things I love! I wanna spend the rest of my life collecting things I love…and die surrounded by them!”

“When you're dodging, you're "afraid of getting hit." When you're attacking, you're "afraid of hitting me." When you're protecting someone, you're "afraid of them dying." It's pathetic! You can't give into fear in a fight! When you're dodging, think "I won't let you hit me!" When you're protecting someone, think "I won't let you die!" When you're attacking, think "I will cut you!" --Urahara Kisuke”
