- W...wait!
- Who: Abirama Redder
- Notes: Character, who claimed to enjoy battle, has been pinned down by Izuru Kira's zanpakuto's ability, which makes his wings too heavy for him to fly.

Abirama says this line while attempting to beg for mercy, and Izuru tells him that "A warrior does not beg for his life" before decapitating him, then noting that he hopes he is not forgiven for what he has done.

[Hisagi slices through his claw] [Hisagi: ...I guess you aren't scared of your own power or that of your opponent. I can see right through you.

- Wha...What is... this thing? What the- What on earth... are YOOOOOOOUUUUUU?
- Who: Choe Neng Poww
- Notes: Character had tried to attack Saijin Komamura with a Cero, but Komamura responded by summoning his bankai.

- I'll never forgive you! You insects! Insects! Insects! Insects! You... in..sects...

- Notes: Before he became an Arrancar, Baraggan was the ruler of Hueco Mundo. After Aizen dethroned him he swore revenge. His last act was to try and kill Aizen, but he died before he could do it. The second line may be his last thoughts, if so, the first would be his actual last lines.

- Hisagi, please show me more of your face. As I am still in my Hollowfication form, I am still able to see with my eyes. While I still can, I want to try and remember your face...
- Who: Kaname Tōsen
