Utsugi Kururugi

"I'll ask you, Shiroyasha. Why has a demon that bit onto the heavens and then fell back to the ground, once again wandered to a place like this? Why would a demon that had everything taken from it by heaven, once again be howling at the heavens? Back then, you... No, all of you, should have known... No matter how much you clamor or scream... your pathetic voices will never reach heaven. And neither will... your lament."

- Utsūgi speaking to Seireitou Kawahiru.

Quotes

 * "...When we are met with a natural calamity, are there not those that curse the brilliant heavens? No matter what kind of calamity one is met with, it is nonetheless an act of heaven. It is an unshakeable heavenly fate. You must silently undertake it. The voice of heaven, our blades. The blades of the Yatagarasu."
 * (To Seireitou Kawahiru) "Making the same mistake again, are you, Shiroyasha? Let that accursed blood of yours rot there as you get a front row seat. Watch closely now, as the things you tried to protect, like they were back then... are destroyed right before your eyes. Senka will see it again, as well... As the man whom she gave her life up to protect... disgracefully breaks down, unable to protect anything."
