William Adelin:
"To die knowing you could've done so much more, or to live knowing there was nothing you could do... Ufufu, I wonder, which would be a worse fate? The two of us are so different, yet so alike in more ways than one."
Captain Nemo:
"Hoho, you sure make a great crew. I'd be honored to have you aboard the
Kanrin Maru. Hm? You already have the Nautilus? It's going to take a lot more to persuade you, it seems. Then again, that's alright. You just gave me a new idea! Perhaps I could add a submarine function to my ship... do you happen to have the blueprints for the Nautilus lying around somewhere? I'd love to take a look at it."
Odysseus:
"I've heard the tale of a certain ingenious Greek sailor during my travels. I didn't expect the Greeks to be this technologically advanced, but... yes, this works nicely. Your Trojan Horse is a perfect image of both technology and culture. Would you mind if I study it in more detail?"
Takechi Hanpeita:
"So the leader of the Loyalist Party is here as well, huh? A word of advice, Takechi-kun; your devotion to the country is amazing, but you shouldn't turn a blind eye to its flaws. After all, you can't fix a problem without acknowledging its existence in the first place!"
Hijikata Toshizo, Okita Souji:
"Do I hate the Shinsengumi? No, I wouldn't say that. They too had a cause they wanted to fight for, a vision they wanted to realize. We're all the same in that regard, so I can't bring myself to hate them."
Saito Hajime:
"Ah, so you're a survivor too, huh... Regardless of which side we fought for and what values we believed in, at the end of the day, we all lost people dear to us. War, just what is it good for?"
Tokugawa Iemochi, Saigo Takamori:
"The former shogun and leader of the Satsuma, huh. I didn't expect to see them again, but I'm happy we're on the same side now. We should celebrate this reunion with some sake! Eh? What do you mean I'm underage!? I'm much older than I look, you know!?"
Emperor Hirohito:
"You sent CHILDREN to their deaths! All for the sake of your twisted view on national pride and patriotism! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!? THOSE CHILDREN HAD FAMILIES AND FRIENDS! A BRIGHT FUTURE THEY WANTED TO SEE! If you deem your actions to be righteous... may the
strike you down on where you stand."
Sakamoto Ryoma (bond 5):
"Ryoma-kun! I-I finally did it! It was a long journey, but the future we dreamed of is finally here! ...I only wished you could've seen it with me back then. For the longest time, my fight was... a lonely one. W-Well, in any case, I'm glad you're here. We have lots to catch up on!"
