Ryoma/Fates Quotes

Ally Ryoma

Prologue

Vs. Xander

Ryoma: I demand to know why you Nohrian dogs are invading Hoshido! Was that cowardly attack on my people your doing as well, princeling?
Xander: ...I have nothing to say to you. Surrender now. If you refuse...you die here.

Chapter 4

“Hold strong, Sisters! I'm coming for you!”
—Ryoma's Chapter 4 quote to his sisters before battling Faceless

Chapter 5

Vs. ???

Ryoma: Vengeance will be mine... Prepare to die!
???: Heh. Heh. Heh...

Defeated

Ryoma: You can kill me, but you cannot kill the spirit of Hoshido!
Sakura: Brother, no! You have to step back! We can't afford to lose you...
Ryoma: Ugh...you're right. I'll retreat for now...

Revelation Chapter 23

Vs. Scarlet

Scarlet: ...
Ryoma: This presence...it feels so familiar. Is...is that you, Scarlet? No, it can't be... This may be Scarlet's form, but the woman herself is long gone. Even knowing that, I... I can't... Forgive me, Scarlet. At the very least, I will give you peace...

Revelation Chapter 25

Vs. Sumeragi

Sumeragi: Ryoma, my eldest son... My pride... I hunger for the glory of a battle between us. I expect nothing less than your best-you will be getting mine!
Ryoma: My father... was a respectable man, a just king, and a true samurai. You, fueled only by a lust for battle and glory, are not that man. I will destroy you for pretending to be him!

Enemy Ryoma

Conquest Chapter 6

“I will not allow a filthy Nohrian to sully my honor!”
—Ryoma's Conquest Chapter 6 pre-battle quote

Vs. Avatar

Ryoma: Avatar! Do not allow them to fool you a moment longer. There's still time... Come back to your true family, where you belong!
Avatar: I'm sorry, Ryoma. I'm afraid that's not possible. I've made up my mind. I'm staying with Xander and my Nohrian siblings.
Ryoma: Very well. Although it pains me, I see you cannot be dissuaded. In that case, I have no choice but to drag you back to Hoshido by force!

Defeated

“Damn! I'll have to withdraw for now... This isn't over, Avatar!”
—Ryoma's Conquest Chapter 6 defeat/retreat quote

Conquest Chapter 12

“Return Avatar to me or feel the wrath of my blade!”
—Ryoma's Conquest Chapter 12 pre-battle quote

Vs. Avatar

Avatar: I'm sorry Ryoma, but you know I can't go back to Hoshido with you. Though it pains me, I will not hesitate to strike you down to save my sister.
Ryoma: Your sister? Hmph. So you still think of the Nohrian royals as your true family.
Avatar: ....
Ryoma: If you only knew what it would mean to us to have that place in your heart....It's not too late for that. I won't give up on you, Brother/Sister. Never. That's why I must win this battle and take you back to Hoshido! Let us begin!

Vs. Azura

Ryoma: Azura... Hinoka and Takumi told me you were fighting with the enemy. I had to see it with my own eyes to believe it. What a pity. I suppose the Nohrian blood flowing in your veins lends itself to betrayal..
Azura: Think of me what you will, Ryoma. But know that I am, and ever shall be, grateful for my time in Hoshido. I'm especially grateful for your family, who raised me as their own. That includes you too, Ryoma. You were like the brother I never had.
Ryoma: Azura... Leave it to you to craft such a lovely farewell. I wish I could forget our time together. It would make this a lot easier. But enough with farewells. Let us battle!

Defeated

“Not again! We'll have to...retreat...”
—Ryoma's Conquest Chapter 12 defeat/retreat quote

Conquest Chapter 25

Vs. Avatar

Ryoma: It's time, Avatar. Show me the power you used to slay our sister! Or does the Yato repel at your touch now that your heart and soul are dead?
Avatar: Ryoma, stop this. I don't want to fight you! I can explain all of this, even Hinoka. Please, listen to me!
Ryoma: Ha! As though I would allow you to distract me with false remorse. How dare you pretend to be my brother/sister after killing Hinoka! You are nothing to me. Just a filthy coward like the rest of your kingdom. I have said all I wish to say to you. Nothing you can do will sway me. You are no brother/sister of mine, Nohrian prince/ss! Watch my blade take back whatever Hoshidan blood remains in you!
Avatar: Ryoma! No!!

(Vs. Other)

Ryoma: Only an honorless boor would interfere with a duel!

Defeated

“My kingdom... My honor... All is lost...”
—Ryoma's Conquest Chapter 25 defeat/retreat quote

Revelation Chapter 6

“Get out of my way! I need to settle things with Nohr.”
—Ryoma's Revelation Chapter 6 pre-battle quote.

Vs. Avatar

Ryoma: Avatar... Are you sure you won't return with us to Hoshido? You risk getting yourself killed by taking this neutral position!
Avatar: That could very well be true... But I've made my choice—there's no turning back now!
Ryoma: I won't give up on you, Avatar! If it means I have to drag you back, kicking and screaming, then so be it!
Avatar: Ryoma!

Defeated

“Ugh... I'll have to retreat for now... Avatar...”
—Ryoma's Revelation Chapter 6 defeat/retreat quote

Revelation Chapter 13

“Meeting on the battlefield—you weren't expecting a warm welcome, were you? I won't hold back, regardless of who I am facing. If you wish to beg for your life, now would be a very good time.”
—Ryoma's Revelation Chapter 13 pre-battle quote

Vs. Avatar

Ryoma: Avatar. Here we are again, and still you are my enemy.
Avatar: Ryoma...It's true that I still haven't chosen a side. But that's because I believe we can work together for a different cause. We don't have to fight Nohr, and we don't have to fight one another!
Ryoma: Don't be foolish. You're asking me to abandon Hoshido. I cannot do that. I would never... I couldn't face Queen Mikoto if i did!
Avatar: ...Ah!
Ryoma: Return to Hoshido, Avatar! I'll bring you back by force if I have to!
Avatar: Please, Ryoma! Stop! This can't be what Mother would want!

Vs. Kagero

Ryoma: Kagero.
Kagero: Lord Ryoma, I'm so glad to see you're alive!
Ryoma: Indeed I am. And it appears you were able to tell everyone where I was going. I don't recall asking for you to bring an enemy army with you, though.
Kagero: Lord/Lady Avatar is not leading an army of enemies, milord. He/She can't go into detail yet, but... I feel that he/she knows something.
Ryoma: It doesn't matter. Kagero. Anyone who doesn't side with Hoshido is the enemy. What will you be?
Kagero: I... will defeat the real enemy and seek out the truth.
Ryoma: I see... If you're so convinced you're right, then ready your weapon! Prove your resolve to this new path and cross swords with your liege!

Vs. Saizo

Saizo: Lord Ryoma...
Ryoma: You would point your blade at me, Saizo? Have you truly joined Avatar and betrayed your liege?
Saizo: No. My loyalty lies with you and you alone. However I feel that you are blinded to the real enemy among us... I do not think I am betraying you now. My actions will show you...
Ryoma: Hmph... So even you have had your heart swayed by Avatar.
Saizo: That may be the case. In time, yours will, too. I must get past you though. The fate of this town requires it. Please, find it your heart to forgive me for what I must do...

Defeated

“Ugh.. You've defeated me... Do you really believe that there is another force at play here...?”
—Ryoma's Revelation Chapter 13 defeat/retreat quote
