cutting fighting thinking
When you're dodging, you're "afraid of getting hit." When you're attacking, you're "afraid of hitting me." When you're protecting someone, you're "afraid of them dying." It's pathetic! You can't give into fear in a fight! When you're dodging, think "I won't let you hit me!" When you're protecting someone, think "I won't let you die!" When you're attacking, think "I will cut you!" --Urahara Kisuke
pride cutting bleach
If it rusts, it can never be trusted If its owner fails to control it, it will cut him Yes, pride is like a blade
cutting battle needs
I'm so disappointed, Ichigo, so very disappointed. Sadly, your sword exhibits only fear. When you counter, it's because you fear being killed. When you attack, you fear killing. And when you protect someone, you fear you could let them die. At this point, the only thing your sword speaks is sensless fright, and that's not good. What you don't need in battle is fear. Nothing will come of it. When you counter, you don't let them cut you. When you protect someone, you don't let them die. And when you attack, you kill." -Kisuke Urahara (Bleach)
hard love particular scene time
If I want to draw more in a particular scene that I think is important, because of time I cannot. That's hard for me. But I've always wanted to be a manga-ka, so I'm doing what I love.

The hardest thing about being a manga-ka is that it's a weekly thing.

I've always wanted to be a manga-ka, so I'm doing what I love.
All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.

I have three assistants, but there isn't a head assistant. All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.
draw scene time
When I draw the scene that I'd been dreaming about or had always wanted to draw, that is the time that I'm happiest.
death life
For me, life and death are very important themes. There is no life without death. That's why it's very important to me.
believe enjoyable message people talented
The message is that if you believe in what you create, it's enjoyable and people will follow. The talented mangaka should know that; otherwise, no one would read or enjoy it. So believe in yourself. Believing in yourself is important.
looks sulking enough
So stop sulking. You're not old enough for the cool, tortured look.

Those who do not fear the sword they wield have no right to wield a sword at all. ~Shuhei Hisagi

What is this "heart"? If I tear open that chest of yours, will I see it there? If I smash open that skull of yours, will I see it there? ~ulquiorra
