Quotes

 * "Well? What now?  Do you want power?  I rifled through your heart, but I couldn't find any truly strong desire for revenge.  All I found was stability.  Kindness.  Concern for others.  I can't stand any of that.  My sustenance is greed and desire."--Gekkouin to Yoichi Saotome
 * "Lies. You were saved... and that makes you glad.  You don't like fighting.  You hate the thought of friends or family dying.  And you can't stand the thought of killing anything yourself.  You want revenge, but you can't kill?  C'mon.  You don't have nearly enough greed.  Wishy-washy humans like you... I hate.  So I think I will become you and get revenge for your sister in your place.  Give me your body, Human.  You don't even have a strong enough desire to resist.  No, you will not do at all.  You are not fit to be my master."--Gekkouin to Yoichi Saotome
 * "Hmm... Dangerous humans.  I'd better kill them all."--Gekkouin after possessing Yoichi
