A similar topic to this was set-up last Grand Tournament, but I'm sad to point out that any and every contribution made was done wither by an Anime League member, or regarded an Anime League member's posts. So I'm hoping this time around we get a tiny bit more variety.

The thread's purpose is simple: Quotes from posts in the Tournament that impress you for any reason you chose to be impressed by them go here. Wanna add elaboration on why you liked the quote? Go right ahead. Wanna just toss it up and let the writing speak for itself, s'all good.

“Oh for fuck's sake,” yelled Kiyoshi, “you have got to be kidding. Next you're going to be saying 'It's just a flesh wound'.”

The General pushed his way through the line towards the registration desk. "Hey buddy," someone protested, "wait your-" but was silenced with a revolver butt to the side of the head before he could finish his sentence. Asimov took special care to step on the man's gut as he passed through.

Of all the titles a man can bear, there are none that equate to “dragonslayer”. A king may rule a nation, having conquered it with no other wit than his own; a lord, prince, duke, or earl can possess treasures and wealth from the world over. A master craftsman may make things gilded and covered in gems, items so precious that eyes and hearts from every culture covet them. Magicians wield the very fabric of space and time, able to bend reality to their will, able to create and destroy with the same fickle nature as the gods. Even priests and their clergy demand the respect of both the mortal worlds, as well as those beyond our comprehension, far and deep into the realm of faith.

To all of these, only one man lifts his chin, refusing to accept an inferior status. No one bows to him; no one places a crown upon his head. There is no silver scepter that he carries to make his might known, no signet ring or velvet cloak draped across his shoulders. With his hands he can make nothing so well as he makes war. Archmages respect him and fear him, unable to do what he does with the same level of valor. The High Priest gives to him his blessing freely, placing a greater faith into him at times than he does to his own god.

When the village burns, they come to him. When the waters boil and the castle falls, they call upon him. When blood stains the fields crimson and ash chokes out the sky, they search him out and him alone. Of all the creatures of land, sea, and sky, he chooses to hunt the greatest. He does not battle with man, beast, monster, or god; but challenges the single creation that induces terror in all things of heaven and earth – and for the wyrm he is the one and only source of fear. No one can claim to be his kindred. His body is covered in the scars of his labor; but with lost flesh he has bought strength incomparable and legendary status. He is the hero, the champion, the mythological man. He is the dragonslayer.

It was a sleek 650-pound monster, thirteen feet from head to anus.

One might expect "head to tail," but Veste goes the extra mile.

[Asimov]

I'd like to think that Veste was quoting the Piranha Brothers sketch from Monty Python in that bit.

[Rize]

You never really know with him, though.

[Casanova]

This one made me laugh.

“ALRIGHT, BUD, YOU KEEP SUMMONING THOSE DAMN GREMLINS AND I’M GONNA SHOVE KING ATLANTIS’ TRIDENT OVER THERE SO FAR UP YOUR ASS YOU’RE GOING TO BE BLOWING SHIT BUBBLES, LIKE YOUR FISHY FRIEND, FOR WEEKS!”

And this one...

That and you're creepy. You'd probably be imagining us with fur.

[Leeo]

"May this match be a glorious one." He then assumed the Total Fighting stance. His eyes flashed and he was behind Holy.

Gotta love it.

[SSJ3Mewtwo]

That wasn't all that epic or great.

[Leeo]

It is in its own way...In my opinion. A different kind of epic if you will.

[Casanova]

It seemed more like you were trying to point out the lack of detail in the person's post.

[Leeo]

Yeah, I guess you're right...I just thought it was funny.

I tried deleting it but it didn't work out for me.

[wandering-random]

I'm still amused by this.

”Well,” Ichi-gou mused, trying to break to a halt, and failing. ”If you’re gonna guard your balls with something,” Ichi-gou chose to guard his face with his forearms as best he could. ”Then I guess a wall’s about as thorough a protection as you can get.”

THUNK

The wall of interlaced light that Ichi-gou was barely able to slow-down before whacking into didn’t make much noise (since it had no real mass to vibrate), and didn’t budge more than a micron or two when he flattened against it. But resounding through his skull and extra-tough ear drums the impact was plenty loud and plenty comical sounding to the Synth. He noted, once the neurons in his brain resumed firing and he could form coherent thought once again, he actually ended up plastered to the damn thing like a cartoon character.

[SSJ3Mewtwo]

When I was picturing it, it looked kinda like when Barney charged the glass dome in the Simpson's movie.

[wandering-random]

I still haven't seen that...

[SSJ3Mewtwo]

It's available for viewing on the internetz.

[TwilightShade]

I saw it on youtube instead of going to the movies to see it. It's quite funny. However, knowing how raid youtube can be (usually they aren't =P) about movies and episodes on their site, it's probably not up at the moment.

Also, if anybody could find the ring out in round 1 where the poster mentions splatting a spectator, only to have him cry out "My nachos!" That would be awesome, as I completely forgot where that quote came from and who posted it. =(

[SSJ3Mewtwo]

That would be from Wandering Random, in his fight with me.

[DarkManticoreX2]

Just for you Twilight

The Lieutenant had a plan for that though. He'd been working on a theory for being able to book it when he needed to and now seemed like a damn good time to move his ass. He thrust his left hand forward. The gauntlet remained dim and lifeless as the large technocrat made a Tether between his left hand the world directly behind Ichi-gou and immediately disconnected himself from everything else. Probably surprising anybody who was paying attention when he disappeared in a blue-white flash.

Daemon had thought this technique through quite a bit, but had never got around to testing it. He was sorely regretting that decision. His ears were filled with an inexplicable roaring in that hilariously improbable void in the middle of everything as he was buffeted around by an impossible force. Not wanting to stay in this phase state any longer than he had to, Daemon raised the pull on the tether as high as he dared and rocketed unseen, and probably undetectable, towards the android above the crowd. Passing straight through him without problem on the way to his destination. Another two-hued flashed announced the Lieutenant's exit from the phase as he spun to deliver a deliver a blow with his dangerously charged fist; twisting his whole body for extra momentum on the lethal- CRUNCH!

Daemon jumped at the unexpected noise and the cry from the Audience member behind him that followed shortly thereafter. His fist stopped a good inch from where Ichi's right kidney should be as the energy dancing over its knuckles fizzled out. the Lieutenant hadn't noticed it happen, but could now tell that his foot was lodged in something warm and gooey and the whimpering of the man behind him didn't bode well. Daemon didn't want to look, but knew he'd have to eventually so with great apprehension he slowly turned to see the damage he'd done. Then had to restrain himself from strangling the little fat guy as he continued whimper and began gibbering something along the lines of, "My poor nachos," as the exasperated technocrat extricated his foot from the decimated snack food and plopped down in the empty spot next to the whiny bastard. Daemon sighed and shook his head at the cheese and chips on his boot before looking up at Ichi-gou and saying with an annoyed grin, "Worst. Ring-out. Ever."

From the fight between Alucroas and Kouketsu

"Beneath this sun and before this crowd, one of us will meet their most appropriate end. But as long as there is a breath within my lungs, I will not die. Now come, vile beast! If you should be the dragon, then I shall be your slayer!"

Yes! "As long as I'm not dead, I won't be dead!"


The rest is actually pretty good, I just find that bit a tad redundant XD.



But the rest of the fight is sure to be... interesting.


Go Kouketsu!


So I can at least say I lost to the winner in the first round.

>_>

<_<

[Kouketsu]

It was originally "As long as there is a breath within my lungs, I will not lose." but was edited after I realized that I'm up against a big creepy dragon beast thing that has a pretty good chance of killing me. XD That and somebody docked points on me in the last GT for coming across as too cocky in my writing . <_< But hey, it's partly in Dusk's character.
