EP 53

AOI: If my brother can count on you, I can admire you.

and then aoi straight up models her new avatar design off ghost girl's design... Aoi Your Crush

EP 58

YUSAKU: That's why he couldn't stand his wrongdoings and became my voice of hope. That's the truth inside of me!

fellas is it gay to orient your certainty in your sense of self around your childhood memories of your current nemesis

EP 67

AQUA: I need to tell you something.
EARTH: W-Wait! My heart isn't ready! I--
AQUA: The Cyberse World will soon break apart.
EARTH: Huh? The Cyberse World will break apart?
AQUA: Yes. We must soon choose whether to coexist or split from the humans.
...
EARTH: Which side will you join?
AQUA: I can't tell you.
EARTH: Why? I'll join the side you choose.
AQUA: That's why. Are humans the allies of the Ignis? You have to decide on your own.

AI: Why are we together? Because we're irreplaceable partners!
YUSAKU: I've never thought of him as a partner. There are three reasons I'm with him. One: we both have things we must do. Two: to do it, we have mutual enemies we must find. Three: that's why we're together of our own free will. If that makes us partners, then call us that.

EP 69

RYOKEN: That's why you're searching for a way to coexist without hostility?
YUSAKU: That's right. There must be a way. Just like how you created a way for me!
RYOKEN: I told you, I strongly regretted doing that.

YUSAKU: Hatred and revenge prevents you from truly moving forward. I know that better than anyone!
RYOKEN: What moves me forward are the ideals my dead father left me.

RYOKEN: I'll say this once. The Ignis are a threat to humanity. No more delays.
YUSAKU: Revolver, don't let Dr Kogami's ideals tie you down! See with your own eyes! Think with your own thoughts! If you're imprisoned by your past, you have no future!
RYOKEN: This is coming from Playmaker? You wanted revenge, you were tied down by your past.
YUSAKU: I'm not tied down by my past anymore!

EP 76

AOI: Are the Ignis alive? Do they have life?
ZAIZEN: That depends on the definition of life. But they have free will. They may understand the concept of death. And they may be scared to die.
AOI: Then... does that mean that SOL Technologies killed an Ignis?
ZAIZEN: If they have the desire to live--yes.

ZAIZEN: If the Ignis are alive, even if humans created them, we shouldn't do whatever we want with them. Because we are not God.
AOI: If they're alive, maybe it's only natural that they hate humans.

EP 77

AQUA: You changed her.
AOI: You're wrong! She changed me! After losing my parents, my brother was the only one in my world. I closed the door to my heart and hid deep inside. But Miyu-chan, with that carefree smile, opened the door to my heart. She wanted to apologise to me? When I'm thankful for her?
AQUA: You gave her courage. And she passed that courage on to me.

EP 84

YUSAKU: We believe in different futures. But by working together on this plan, we may find a new future.
RYOKEN: I'll remember that.

most open acknowledgement of yusaku's efforts to reach out to ryoken that ryoken has ever evinced...

HARU: Are you alright?
BOHMAN: I'm fine. You're worried about me?
HARU: That's my role.
BOHMAN: Don't say that. Haru, you're special. You're my one and only younger brother.
HARU: I'm not your real brother. Lightning ordered me to pretend to be your brother in order to control your emotions.
BOHMAN: I know. But I won't forget that we were brothers.
HARU: You carry the burden of the future of the Ignis. I'm nothing more than a prototype. You're more important than me. Besides, I don't even know what it really means to be brothers.
BOHMAN: Eventually, we'll become one.
HARU: That's right. Maybe I'll understand how you feel, then.

EP 86

SPECTRE: I just have to fulfil my mission. I'll defeat anyone who interferes with Revolver-sama.
LIGHTNING: For Revolver, I see. You're a puppet who depends on Revolver, giving up your free will. That's why we look down on you. Free will is paramount. We acquired free will through trial and error and struggle.
SPECTRE: Oh, you misunderstand. I haven't given up my free will. I used my free will to choose to obey Revolver-sama.
LIGHTNING: Oh?
SPECTRE: You must have never had a difficult past. But of course--you're an AI. Through experience, I learned that I'm weak. The weak coexist with the strong to protect themselves.
LIGHTNING: So that's the wisdom of the weak.
SPECTRE: Precisely. Not every person is strong.

EP 89

WINDY: Don't do it! Flame, I won't forget this hate! I'm cursing you!
TAKERU: A curse...?
FLAME: AIs... don't have curses.

EP 91

AOI: 10 000 or less battle damage is negated! But... it's not enough. I'm sorry.
AQUA: No, you fought excellently. I'm proud to be your partner.
AOI: Thank you, Aqua.

TT__TT aoi's bravery and refusal to back down even as she knew she was facing an inevitable death with no way to win... she really did fight so beautifully

EP 95

FLAME: Don't forget. My name is Flame! Written as "indomitable soul dream!" Pronounced "Flame!" Never underestimate the strength of my will!
TAKERU: You always overexert yourself.
FLAME: For my partner? Of course.

EP 96

RYOKEN: Free will is your desire to do something. Where is free will located?
AI: Huh? A quiz? And a hard one... For humans, free will is in the head.
RYOKEN: Are you sure?
AI: Am I wrong?
RYOKEN: What you're talking about is memory.

RYOKEN: But humans are different! We evolved as creatures of flesh and blood. Our flesh is full of life! I always felt that when I was taking care of my father. Humans know and fear death because it is engraved in our DNA. So we celebrate the limited time we have and chase our dreams.

AI: Revolver, you did well.
RYOKEN: When I was young, I'd lie down in a field of flowers and look up at the sky, just like how I'm doing now. I'm reminded of those times. I had no troubles back then. I was just excited about the world that spread before my eyes...

EP 101

AI: You said that when you were alone, you only had a futile desire for revenge. That your views expanded by meeting friends. You've become stronger due to your bonds. Don't be afraid to bond! You're connected! To Kusanagi, Soulburner, Blue Maiden, Revolver, Zaizen, Spectre, Ghost Girl, Flame, Aqua, and... me!

EP 102

YUSAKU: Be careful. Make sure you come back.
AI: Those words make me happy.

AI: But if I can't save you, there's no point--
FLAME: Deal with it!
AI: What do you mean, deal with it?! Deal with it forever?
FLAME: Ai, we have close to eternal life. That's why we've forgotten that those who have life will lose it someday. That moment just happens to be now.
