"We will leave a massacre so glorious, it'll stain the annals of history for all time!!"
― Honest (Akame ga Kill)
"What am I doing here? In this miserable place? This isn't worth risking my life for. Am I fight for Casca? No, that can't be it. This isn't the time for thinking. I should only be thinking about wielding my sword, and how I'll kill them. Nothing more."
― Guts (Berserk).
"From today, I'll decide who needs to die."
― Slade Wilson/Deathstroke (DC Comics)
" I sing for the slaying of a thousand evil men, I celebrate the massacre of ten thousand goblins. Thou will perish by mine own demonic blade. Wake up the slumbering Rakshasa of the bloodthirsty blade."
― Tobio Ikuse (Highschool DxD)
"I lived my entire life waiting for this moment. I trained, I killed just to get here. I killed in America, Afghanistan, Iraq... I took life from my own brothers and sisters right here on this continent! And all this death just so I could kill you."
― Erik Killmonger (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
"Let's dispense with the introductions, and get straight to the kill!"
― Regent of the Mask (Ninja Gaiden)
"We don't need to say "I'll kill you"... because by the moment those words come into our minds... our target's already dead and the deed's done!"
― Prosciutto (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part V/5: Golden Wind/Vento Aureo)
