- They say to be strong is to be unyielding, but the strongest metal bends under heat to forge the most resilient blade.

- My faith is my fortress; within its walls, I find the strength to confront the darkness with a heart unshadowed by doubt.
- Each demon I face is not just a battle of blades but a test of spirit, a duel of darkness and light.
- In prayer, I find solace; in faith, a weapon more potent than any blade forged by man.

- Among the Hashira, I strive to be a voice of reason, a calm in the storm that often surrounds us.
- To lead is to inspire—not just fear in our enemies but courage in our allies, hope in our despair.
- Each demon I fell is a step towards atonement for those I could not save, a redemption wrought in the forge of my resolve.
- My past haunts me, not as a specter of weakness but as a constant reminder of the strength born from tragedy.
- Redemption is not found in the erasure of past sins but in the relentless pursuit to right the wrongs with every breath and battle.
- The scars of my past are deep, yet they fuel my journey toward salvation, one demon at a time.
- In the wake of tragedy, I found my purpose; with each demon slain, I weave a new tapestry of hope from the threads of despair.
- The Nichirin Stone, as unyielding and enduring as my resolve, is a testament to the permanence of my will.

- My guidance is my legacy—imbued in Tanjiro and every slayer whose heart is fortified by our shared trials.
- Through my actions, I teach resilience; through my faith, I offer solace. Together, these lessons carve paths for Tanjiro and others to follow.
- Each lesson imparted is a stone laid in the foundation of their growth, helping them build their strength upon solid ground.
- Blindness in battle is not a hindrance but a different kind of sight, where intuition and hearing sharpen into clarity.
- I do not see my enemies with my eyes—I sense them, a perception honed through necessity and nurtured through practice.
- Each vibration, every shift in the air tells a story. My task is to listen and interpret the silent language of the battlefield.
- In the darkness of my world, I have learned to see the light of my opponents’ intentions, predicting movements before they unfold.
- My blindness is not a void but a canvas, on which I paint my strategies with the brushstrokes of acute awareness.
- What I leave behind is not etched in stone but woven in the lives of those I have taught and fought beside.
