"Wha? What's this? That guy... (who's he?) ...did it? What's that?... Blade? It looks painful... Next is... me? I'm next? I'm next... This situation... (I'm next! I'm next!) I'll become like him... If I don't run... I won't be able to... What do I do? What do I do?! He will kill me... What can I do to save myself? What can I do... What can... I do? ......Before you kill me... I have no choice but to kill you!"
—Alice Fujii awakens her killing instincts, Chapter 1
Hibiki: This will not be overlooked. Withdraw now!
Riock: Why?
Hibiki: It's quite clear. I... That is, Kamadouma... I AM THE TRUE KAHEN RIDER!
"That direct hit did knock the wind out of me... But you shouldn't be so surprised. The ribcage is full of spaces, and it can't protect you from blades or bullets. So, I just happen to have some steel armor protecting my heart. That's Kabutomushi's defensive gear... The exoskeleton: "Kabuto Mail"."
—Kabutomushi boasts her steel implants so the episodic narrator can explain why rhino beetles have hardened forewings, Chapter 35
Dinoponera: Ants are very light, aren't they? Kabutomushi are unnecessarily heavy because they're weighted down with weapons and armor. But the ant is relatively light-weight, so... No matter what great height you throw them from, or what powerful force you smash them with, they always land gently, like a feather in the wind. You can't beat them with just brute strength, you see.
Kabutomushi: Weight, you say? You can quit spouting that rubbish! It's not like you're a real ant, anyway.
—Chapter 39
"It's still too early to give up. Survival is a challenge. As long as I can challenge, I have no choice but to survive!!"
"From the tip of the thread that's suspended in thin air, I can clearly see the shape of my prey. After I transfer all of my senses to the thread, I will become the fang, and like the tarantula who crushes its prey with brute force, I wll swing straight down and pierce through him."
—Alice Fujii realizes what Killing Bites is, Chapter 66
Alice: Why would somebody like you accept me in the first place?!
Boss: You misunderstand me, Alice. You are a born killer. Even if I hadn't taken everything away, chances are, you would have ended up hating your mother and father and, eventually, cursed everyone around you. You would personally push everyone away.
Alice: No— no way. Such a thing... That's impossible.
Boss: Even you realize it, don't you? That's just how you are. Even now, inside your mind, you've killed me 16 times.
—Chapter 70
Boss: If the infectious spread of the Army Ants isn't controlled, let alone this country, if we're negligent, the world could—
Alice: I don't care.
Alice: Right now, choosing to die here, figuring out who you are, and thinking about what'll happen to the world... I don't care about any of those. I won't allow anyone, or anything to take my freedom away from me. To those ends, if necessary, even if it was our country, the world, or even my friends, I have no choice but to kill them.
—Chapter 70
"I cannot depend on other people. No, that's not it. It's just that I simply cannot live that way. As Tajima-san once said, I'm definitely a born homicidal maniac. If I were to take advantage of Oki's goodwill like that and surrender myself to it peacefully, I will surely, by my own hands, destroy that peace. Frankly, even now, I feel more at home within this desolate darkness than the safe space I shared with my friend. It isn't over. The "Arachnid Hunt" isn't over. I am Kumo. I have become a single arachnid who, in order to survive this lawless world, in order to live......"
—Alice Fujii decides fighting a "rape-zombie apocalypse" on her own is better than hiding away with her also sexually agressive friend, Chapter 72
"Pitiful Alice-sama, being persistently targeted by The Organization... I'm definitely gonna find her, and then this time for sure, I'll violate her, violate her and keep violating her, until her body can't stand being without me!!!"
—Said sexually agressive friend's closing words for the story, Epilogue
