Embracing Chaos and Collective Celebration
Doctor Toratarō Shima
Even the five court ladies danced in sync to the frog's flutes and drums. The whirlwind of recycled paper was a sight to see. It was like computer graphics. That I don't support Technicolor parfaits and snobby petit bourgeois is common knowledge in Oceania! Now is the time to return home to the blue sky! The confetti will dance around the shrine gates. The mailbox and the refrigerator will lead the way! Anyone who cares about expiration dates will not get in the way of the glory train! They need to fully realize the lives of the triangle rulers! Now, this festival was decided by the third grade class with the telephoto camera! Move forward! Come together! I am the ultimate governor!

Critique of Selfishness in Scientific Pursuits
Doctor Atsuko "Paprika" Chiba
(to Tokita) You guys really are alike. You and your bud Himuro. You were so selfishly wrapped up in what you want to do that you ignore what needs to be done. You never coded the DC Mini. That was just irresponsible. It cost lives. Don't you get it? Of course not. Not much gets through all that protective fat, now does it? Here's what does: "What a scientist"! "He's so amazing"! It's like a really bad joke. What good is a scientist to mankind if he doesn't care about people? Hmm? If you want to be the king of geeks with your bloated ego, then just keep on doing only what pleases you. Go ahead. Indulge in your freakish masturbation, because that's what you're good at!

Guardian of Dreams and Justice

In a world of inhumane reality, it is the only humane sanctuary left. That is a dream. That parade is full of refugees who were unwillingly chased out of reality. I am protecting them. I am the guardian of dreams. My duty is to mete out justice to terrorists like you, Paprika.

The Resting Place of the Night's Residents

Limitless Freedom of Dreams and Spirit

Confronting Irresponsibility in Pursuit of Knowledge
Doctor Atsuko "Paprika" Chiba
(to Tokita) You guys really are alike. You and Himuro. You get preoccupied with what you want to do and ignore what you have to do. Don't you understand that your irresponsibility cost lives? Of course not. Nothing can get through all that fat. And now what? "Isn't it wonderful"? "A mind for science"? Don't make me laugh. How can a mad scientist know what a human mind is? If you want to be the king of geeks with your bloated ego, then just keep up all this and indulge in your freakish masturbation!

Struggling with Morality and Responsibilities
