“There is something in this world which no one has ever seen.
It is soft and sweet.
If it is spotted, I'm sure everyone will want to have it,
Which is why no one has ever seen it.
For this world has hidden it quite well, so that it is difficult to obtain.
But, there will come a day when it is discovered by somebody,
And only those who should obtain it will be able to find it.
That is all.”
― Yuyuko Takemiya, とらドラ！

“Since ancient times, the dragon has been the only beast to equal the tiger. Even if you're not by my side right now, I will leap through space and time and always be by your side. These feelings will never change.”

“There is something in this world that no one has ever seen before. It is gentle and sweet. Maybe if it could be seen, everyone would fight over it. That is why the world hid it, so that no one could get their hands on it so easily. However, someday, someone will find it. The person who deserves it the most will definitely find it.”

“The two of us are lIke sunshine and the rain. Together... We are the wellspring of all life. But between us, there will will bloom no flowers. We shall bear no fruit. For us, all of time... Shall be evergreen.

Hotaka”

“Ryuuji and Aisaka probably looked despicable right now, attacking the pole together. This was because Ryuuji had an enemy, and this enemy was like a rock getting in the way of his life, and Ryuuji could clearly feel the threat it emanated. Aisaka too had an enemy… sort of. The same enemy that stands between her and her life truly exists. When Aisaka liked someone, or wished to be with someone, this enemy would appear and reveal its weight. Perhaps this enemy can be called “low self-esteem”, or “fate”, or “genetics”, or “environment” or so on, it could even be called “self awareness during puberty” or “something one can’t do alone”. This enemy carries all sorts of names.
No matter what, it was impossible to try and defeat this enemy, and they had no idea how many times they would have to do battle with this shapeless enemy in the future. If they did not savagely kick the electric pole now, they probably wouldn’t be able to vent their anger. They could have chosen to take it out on a wall or a bedsheet… but it seemed like this was the electric pole’s unlucky day.
Ryuuji decided to help based on that reason alone. No matter how stupid they were, or how foolish they were, or how bored they were, they had now transformed into savage beasts attacking ferociously while howling away in the spring night.”
