Episode Quotes |

After Rukia appears in Ichigo's room
Rukia: It is near...
Ichigo: (Kicked Rukia from behind) Don't give me, 'It is near', moron!!
| Ichigo: If you mess with my family, prepare to get your ass kicked!
| Rukia explains to Ichigo about the two kinds of spirits.
Rukia: Any questions so far?
Ichigo: uh well, first of all, what's the reason for your crappy drawing skills?
Rukia draws a mustache on Ichigo face.
| Karin: Seeing or not seeing, it's all the same if you don't believe in them.
Yuzu stares blankly.
Floating spirit behind Karin: How cold...
| Rukia: Do you want... to save your family?
Ichigo: Of course. Is there a way?
Rukia: There is only one. You... must become a Death God! Thrust this Soul Slayer through you heart, and I will pour my powers into you. I don't know if this will work. But there isn't any other way.
Ichigo: Gimme the sword, Death God.
Rukia: I'm not "Death God". I'm Kuchiki Rukia.
Ichigo: I'm... Kurosaki Ichigo
