Rason: I gotta say, this guy isn't so hard.
Ahakon: Yeah, this creep is a joke.
Inner Moka: Don't be so sure of yourself. He hasn't begun to fight yet.
Ahakon: What do you mean? He hasn't managed to get one hit on us yet.
[the gymnasium building begins to shake, and flames shoot out of the wall]
Kurumu: That's because he hasn't been trying yet.
Mizore: It's about to get hotter here.
Gin: Get ready, he's coming!

I feel like I live in a world made of - cardboard. Always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment, or someone could DIE. But you can take it, can'tcha, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am.

Thor: No. There is only one difference. In this time, and this place, I am no longer holding back.

Haban II: *hacking Ennesby* Almost done. My little virtual crowbar here is going to give me another 45 seconds or so, and by then I'll have put your shipboard nodes to sleep.
Ennesby: How do you know you get that much time?
Haban II: Extensive study of shipboard A.I.s with remote nodes like you've got.
Ennesby: Oh. Hmmm... *stops flickering and grins evilly* You probably ought to know that Kevyn built me to be 10 times faster than most shipboard systems. You don't have 45 seconds. You had four-point-five, but they're gone now.

Goku: Listen, Broly, I don't wanna tell you how to be the Legendary Super Saiyan, but you're not supposed to start all out. You're supposed to start small and then work up to it.

"I've been fighting with one arm tied behind my back. But what happens when... I'm finally set free?"
Beatrice: And I believe I've already told you - you cannot use your figment in this ca-
Eleonore: Nonsense. You show no progress, you naïve fool. What on earth made you think you knew everything about me? An explosion that expands without limit? Indeed, I won't deny having used that. But it was merely something I created to suit the needs of the battlefield. I will now unbind it. Feel honored, Kirscheisen. Only Lord Heydrich knows of its true form. And you shall be the first to actually witness it.
The Endbringer stood, showing none of the frailty or pain it had been displaying seconds ago. The injuries were there, to be sure, his head hung at an angle because of the way the weight of his head hung on the intact portions of his neck, but he wasn’t suffering, had no trouble putting his full weight on his more injured leg. Had it been an act?

Boros: This set of armor, which was used to seal in my immeasurable, irresistible power, has now been broken.
