1- “You are fighting out of obligation, not out of hatred. You will never reach me like that. Battle without hatred is like a bird without wings. You’ll never defeat anyone like that. You powerless friends are just weights that will break your legs.
” – Aizen Sousuke
2-“Yhwach. You desired a world… Where fear would no longer be a burden. But… In a world without fear of death… People will never attain the hope that is to be found from casting their fears aside and preserving through them. While it is true that people can continue to press forward through the simple act of living… That is no way comparable to marching forward in the face of death, while doing their damndest to keep it at bay. That is why… That is why people have given that very march a unique and special name. “COURAGE.”
” – Aizen Sousuke
3-“All of the Arrancar follow me… because they see me as fearless and the only individual who can actually bring forth the new world… the new future where you can belong. Without me, that dream can’t be fulfilled and without me the gotei 13 will destroy you all… Do you see it now from my point of view?
” – Aizen Sousuke
4-“We’re all the same. No one really remembers the day he was born. We all have to trust another’s word on the matter. It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. Just having a birthday makes one happy I think.
” – Aizen Sousuke
5-“Ichigo Kurosaki, all of the battles you’ve fought, were all part of my plan.
” – Aizen Sousuke
6-“Don’t use such strong words. It’ll only make you look weak.
” – Aizen Sousuke
7-“There is no such thing as “truth” or “lies” in this world; there never has been. There are only plain, hard facts. And yet, all beings who exist in this world acknowledge only those “facts” that are convenient to them, and take them to be the “truth”. They do so because they know no other way of living. However, for those powerless beings who comprise the majority of this world’s population, inconvenient facts that affirm their very existence, are their only truth.
” – Aizen Sousuke
8-“Admiration is the furthest thing from understanding.
” – Aizen Sousuke
9-“Laws exist only for those who cannot live without clinging to them.
” – Aizen Sousuke
10-“A victor must speak not of the current state of the world, but of how it should rightfully be.
” – Aizen Sousuke
11-“We think the flower on the precipice is beautiful, because our fear makes our feet stop at its edge, instead of stepping forward into the sky, like that flower.
” – Aizen Sousuke
12-“I guess it’s only natural for inferior beings to ride on the coattails of their superior counterparts. If they wish to keep their lives, they have no choice but to obediently comply. It’s a never ending chain… as the ones who are burdened with that trust, in order to escape that burden, seek to find someone even greater than themselves. These greater beings then seek others even greater than themselves to shelter them. This is how Gods are born. But make no mistake. They all still abide to me. Because from this point onward, you will witness first hand, the power of the God they foolishly placed their faith in. I will become that God they have no choice but to believe in.
” – Aizen Sousuke
13-“Seek not beauty in battle. Seek not beauty in death. Consider not your own life. If you wish to protect that which must be protected, then strike while your opponent’s back is turned.
” – Aizen Sousuke
14-“All creatures want to believe in something bigger than themselves. They cannot live without blind obedience. And to escape the pressure of that trust, those in whom faith is placed in turn look for someone higher than themselves. And then those people in turn look for someone even stronger. That is how all Kings are born. That is how all Gods are born.
” – Aizen Sousuke
15-“Fear is necessary for evolution. The fear that could be destroyed at any moment.
” – Aizen Sousuke
16-“Good evening, Espada. There has been an enemy attack. But first…Let us brew some tea.
” – Aizen Sousuke
17-“[After Gin offers to kill some Arrancars] No thanks, for that would be boring.
” – Aizen Sousuke
18-“Oh? I thought I severed your body from the waist-down, but…It seems the cut was too shallow.
” – Aizen Sousuke
19-“In my eyes, there is no difference between wiping away one speck of dust or two.
” – Aizen Sousuke
20-“Any betrayal you can see is trivial, what is truly frightening and much more lethal, is the betrayal you cannot see.
” -Aizen Sousuke
21-“[To Barragan, before he was recruited by Aizen] Isn’t it ironic, king of Hueco Mundo? Dressed in black and poised to attack, you look just like a shinigami.
” -Aizen Sousuke
22-“[To Orihime, after she had being taken from Ichigo once again] A girl like you should smile more often. Overcast skies blot out the sun, and that always brings people’s spirits down. So why not let the sun shine…For just a while longer?
” -Aizen Sousuke
23-“No matter what may happen… As long as you walk by my side… There shall be no enemy that can stand before us.
” -Aizen Sousuke
24-“”No longer the Aizen you know,” hm…? I’m afraid you’ve been deluded, Abarai-kun…The ‘Aizen Sousuke’ you knew never existed to begin with.
” -Aizen Sousuke
25-“Trusting someone…means relying on them and only the weak do that.
” -Aizen Sousuke
26-“It’s very difficult for me to step on an ant without crushing it.
” -Aizen Sousuke
27-“Don’t use such strong words — It makes your weakness all the more apparent.
” -Aizen Sousuke
28-“I had no intention of deceiving anyone. It’s just that none of you could understand…My true self.
” -Aizen Sousuke
29-“[To Hitsugaya, after stabbing Hinamori] Aww…You found her. Sorry, I didn’t want you to find out this way…No. I should have chopped her into little pieces and hidden them away where you would never find them.
” -Aizen Sousuke
30-“I never ask them to trust me at all. I told them to come with me but I never told them to trust me. And I always tell them not to trust anyone, including myself. But sadly, there are not many strong enough to do that.
” -Aizen Sousuke
31-“I’m going to have to ask you to stop now, Abarai-kun. I can only step on an ant so hard without crushing it.
” -Aizen Sousuke
32-“Admiration is a feeling furthest away from understanding.
” -Aizen Sousuke
33-“Since the beginning, no one has ever stood in the heavens. Neither you, nor me, not even God himself. But that unbearable vacancy in the throne of Heaven shall be filled. From this day forth, I will stand in heaven.
” -Aizen Sousuke
34-“Why are you putting so much distance between us? If you want to make sure it hits me, then you should get close and fire. Or is it that you’re afraid of letting even a part of me out of your field of vision by getting close? If that’s the case, then it’s a foolish thought. Distance only has meaning in a fight between equals. With you and I, distance holds no meaning at all. Watch… If I do this, my hand is almost instantly at your heart.
” -Aizen Sousuke
35-“The betrayal you can see is trivial. What is truly frightening and much more lethal, is the betrayal that you don’t see.
” -Aizen Sousuke
36-“Reason exists for those who cannot go on living without clinging to it. Now let’s go… to the edge of reason.
