Hiko: This way I'll have fun torturing, uh, training you. Kenshin: Huh? Hiko: Never mind!
Hiko: You think you can learn the final secret of the Hiten Mitsurgi Style like this? You stupid apprentice!
Hiko: Just because a sword has been raised doesn't mean it will come flying at you. You rely too much on reading the motions of your opponent.
Omasu: It makes no difference either way. We still have to let her go. Because no matter what happens today, Misao is going to end up losing one of them. It'll either be the one closest to her, or the one that she loves. There is no doubt about that.
Shishio: A country in which chaos means existence...That is the Hell I am trying to create.
Shishio: This blazing heat has burned my entire body...as well as my brain,and it began to tell me the truth. Chaos is the basic nature of humanity. And this world itself is Hell. No killing? All men are equal? Such thoughts are small and fragile.
Aoshi: Whether it's steel, an old ally, or even Himura the Battousai, there is nothing I can't slash with my two kodachis.
Aoshi: Some fine predators they were, to be defeated by a group of ordinary rats.
Shishio: Do you believe that Hell exists? Houji: Hell, sir? Shishio: Yeah. Houji: No, I believe that men are slabs of meat regardless of virtue. When they die, they rot and return to the earth.
Misao: Call me Okashira!
