Texhnolyze Season 1 quotes

Mankind has grown old. The only thing left is slow death.

What attracted me to Ichise was his eyes. His eyes are the eyes of our parents' parents. What the first immigrants to Lukuss all had. That's why they were driven underground. I never had enough courage to go through proper testing but I knew for sure early on that I lacked the ability to produce offspring. I was hoping to see how much power Ichise's texhnolyzed limbs would gain from the addition of my cells cultivating the bio-circuit. But it's no longer possible now.

Listen carefully. The window's veil is the sun's lunch. I repeat. The window's veil is the sun's lunch.

Doc

I thought texhnolyzation was the very means for mankind... to evolve into the next species. But while we were struggling desperately underground... the people above-ground had long given up on surviving.

Look, that's a very clear ghost.

You're the ones who are ghosts.

This is a surprise. You're alive.

What about you?

Well I wonder. If sitting here day by day only reminiscing about the past can be called living then I guess we are.

If we who barely hold onto our sanity by having our ghosts walk around can be called "live humans".

Do you want to die now?

Despite our best efforts to eliminate dangerous elements we weren't able to delay our annihilation. No miracle happened that would evolve us into the next species. Maybe our parents' parents' generation pinned their hopes on your people.

You... I have to apologize to you. For a long time... ever since Mother died... I thought it was you who killed her. I thought you became corrupted by worthless things, like money. I never even imagined that you had been framed... by some filthy bastards. I'm sorry... father.

If the only way to be granted life in this world is to surrender my body and soul to insanity then I shall choose to meet my doom!

Ever since I was a little kid I always thought I would come and live here someday! I was so naïve I thought I'd be accepted into this light! Funny, eh? Laughable, eh? Laugh!

Someone told me long ago what this place is. He said this is the Ninth Annex of the Reviving Hell.

Hey, I've changed, haven't I? Not because I got this arm. It's because I met you. But I'm still doing the same thing. What I'm about to do... is also what I've been doing, just to survive. Does that mean whatever I do, doesn't change no matter what? That isn't so, is it? Have you changed because you met me?

So it was you whom Theoria was watching.

Where's Ran?

Theoria will never again voice what she sees.

Why did you do all of this? I thought you were going above with your soldiers in tow.

It was meaningless from the beginning. I was well aware that the world above was about to die out. I wanted to see for certain... how much Texhnolyzation could change a human being's consciousness. And revenge was the best way to move the people of this place. Besides, we weren't forced to come here. The human species... which was born here, is now about to come to its end. So everything has come full circle.

Where is Ran?

Having expanded my mind through Texhnolyzation... I came to understand that Lukuss is inside of my mind. It's a delusion that we have genes that no human being should have. I became free of all genes by having intercourse with Lukuss. We must now endure a long passage of time... in order to evolve into a different life form. They have received their bodies in preparation for that. I'm more sane than anyone else. My sister, Theoria, knows that better than anyone. But Theoria won't ever speak again. She has killed her own mind. She can't be my eyes anymore. What are you afraid of? To kill me, who is saner than anyone... is to acknowledge your insanity and to embrace it until you die.
