Death
Quotes
Death is the irreversible cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism, marking the absolute end of its physical existence. It is the ultimate boundary that defines life, lending urgency and preciousness to every moment by highlighting its finite nature and prompting a search for meaning and legacy.

Baraggan Luisenbarn: [To Hachigen Ushōda] Did you think that age could not touch Kidō? How ridiculous. Humans die. Animals die. Plants die. Even Soul Reapers die. And for everything that dies, there is age, too. If man-made things cease to be, then even Kidō, created by Soul Reapers, is no different. Kidō may last for a thousand years, but it cannot last forever. Even the word "forever" is meaningless as it was created by those who fear death.Bleach manga; Chapter 371, page 14
Baraggan Luisenbarn: [To Suì-Fēng and Hachigen Ushōda] Insects, insects, insects! Shinigami, humans, Hollows, Arrancar, all of their differences and strife, will, freedom, beasts, plants, the moon and stars and sun - all of it is meaningless! There is but one absolute in this world, and that is my power! Everything outside of that is as tiny and meaningless as an insect! It is only natural for I, wielder of the ultimate power over all, to hold dominion over the world!! Among a number of competing powers, equality can never be found. But observe! In these hollow eyes of mine, the lives you bear are no greater than those of mere ants!Bleach manga; Chapter 370, pages 12-13
Baraggan Luisenbarn: [To Hachigen Ushōda while rotting] How dare you! Your insolence will lead to your destruction!
Baraggan Luisenbarn: [His last words while dying] I will kill you! With my own hands! I will make you regret giving me power! I am the king! I am a god! I will never die! And I will hunt you for all eternity, Sōsuke Aizen! Bleach manga; Chapter 371, page 14
Coyote Starrk: Why do I have to fight with a strong guy like this? I always envied the weak. Whenever we made friends, their souls would waste away just from being near us. Because we were so alone, we split our soul in two. I don't know which was our original form. Or perhaps, it was neither. But this was the only way we had to escape from our isolation. I so envied the weak. The weak can always find others to be around. I want to be weak. And if that's impossible, I at least want to find companions who are as strong as I.Bleach manga; Chapter 374, pages 15-16
Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck: [to Nnoitra Gilga] There was a time when we ceased to be Human and became beasts. And then in becoming Arrancar, we regained our capacity for reason. One who possesses reason should require a reason to fight.Bleach manga; Chapter 294, page 6
Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck: [To Nnoitra Gilga] Carrying a weapon on your shoulder is threatening behaviour. If you truly wish to appear strong, hide your weapon as you walk.Bleach manga; Chapter 294, page 12
Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck: [To Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez] If you're going to pick a fight in the middle of a conflict, do so elsewhere. At any rate, I fail to see what gives you, the Sexta, any right to order me, the Tres, around.Bleach manga; Chapter 625, page 8
Nel: [To Orihime] Itsygo's out dere fightin' for you! Why're ya acting like yer afraid of Itysgo? Din't you say Itsygo's a nice person?! Well yer right! Nel tinks he's nice too! Itsygo's so nice, when he heard Ulquiorra say yer name, he charged right at 'im! Itsygo is a human! But den he became a Soul Reaper, an' even put on dat mask and used dat dangerous power! Dere's no way Itsygo isn't gettin' hurt! He's gotta be sufferin'! But Itsygo's usin' his powers and gettin' injured all cuz he's fightin' for you! What's-- What's gonna happen if ya don't cheer for Itsygo?! Bleach manga; Chapter 283, page 12-14
Nnoitra Gilga: This is a battle, of course it's going to be unfair. That which is called battle was a monster originally born of unfairness and intolerance. "I can't stand that guy..." "I can beat that guy..." "I can't forgive that guy..." We make enemies for all sorts of reasons, and from the moment you make an enemy until one of you draws his last breath, you are in a battle. To come bursting into the middle of an enemy stronghold, have a great flashy battle like that and not expect someone to come after you...That's a bad joke, Soul Reaper.Bleach manga; Chapter 288, page 18
Nnoitra Gilga: Everyone dumps their pity on me. They have no idea how much that hurts me. It's like stomping on an open wound. There'll be no mercy from me. I don't care if they're strong, or weak, or a baby, or an animal! I'll kill anyone and everyone in one hit so they'll never stand up again! Bleach manga; Chapter 312, page 16
Yammy Llargo: [To Ichigo] What's that look on your face for? Take a good look at my number. It's a zero. I'm the Cero Espada, Yammy Llargo. Ain't one of the Espada you've fought up until now that's stronger than me. Grimmjow, Nnoitra, an' Ulquiorra too. As far as I'm concerned, they're all just trash!!Bleach manga; Chapter 379, page 10
Yammy Llargo: [To Kenpachi and Byakuya] Now, go ahead. Get me more angrier... It'll only make your deaths all the more pathetic.
Zommari Rureaux: You Shinigami cut us down as though it were simply the natural way of things! Do you truly think yourself gods?! Who exactly gave you the right to cut down the Hollows?! Is it because we feed upon the humans?! Why, then who gave you the right to protect those humans?! Nay! Nobody has granted you the right to undertake any of this!! You Shinigami label us as evil, and thoughtlessly slice us down purely because in your arrogance, you fancy yourselves to be the purveyors of some great 'justice' of your own making!Bleach manga; Chapter 302, pages 10-11, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez (グリムジョー・ジャガージャック, Gurimujō Jagājakku): )
