Kentou Kuchiki

"The Xcution are honestly pathetic. You believe in that simple word known as fate. What is this fate you speak of? A thread which leads one through their pathways in life? Or is it a path that is set in stone. Ha! Such fools you lot are. If fate and karma truly existed, nothing in this world would ever go the way it would have been. By now you must have realized, only through breaking the chains that bind us to the mortal realm of thinking is when we will truly transcend, yet you think that you have transcended without this leap of thinking? How derogatory."

- Keigō before the Xcution.
