Ryuko Matoi: Where's your Goku Uniform?
Nui Harime: I don't wear such crude things. But enough about me, let's have a look at your Kamui. Are you holding back because I'm dressed like this? Didn't you see? I defeated that Goku Uniform just now, so you can cut loose from your Kamui's power all you want!
(Ryuko hardly reacts.)
Nui: Having trouble? In that case I'll show you something neat! Here we go!
(Nui pulls a giant, purple scissor blade out of her dress, twirling it around in an elaborate manner before pointing it to the sky. Ryuko's eyes go wide; she stares in horror at the blade.)
Ryuko: That's...!
Nui: Yep, the other half of your Scissor Blade! I pulled this out of your dad!
Ryuko: Wait, it was you?
Nui: Yep! It was me! I was the one who killed your father!
(A tense Beat follows as Ryuko stares at Nui, before suddenly her anger reaches a boiling point. Her Seki-Tekko's needle literally shoots out of its socket!)
Ryuko: ...YOU BITCH!!!

"Persistent. You're all seriously persistent. And it bores me. It sickens me from the bottom of my heart. Whenever you open your mouth, you only remember that one dumb notion about avenging your parents, kids, or siblings. You've all survived. That should be enough for you. So your family got slaughtered. What's the problem here? Think of yourself as lucky, and go back to the way you lived life before. Look at it this way. Being killed by me is the same as encountering a great calamity. You don't need to think so hard about it. Rains, winds, volcano eruptions, earthquakes. Nobody tries to swear revenge on a natural disaster, no matter how many lives it takes. You can't bring dead humans back to life. Why not just stop fussing over the issue all the time, and live quietly to earn your daily wages. Most humans live that life. Why can't you all do that? There's only one reason. The Demon Hunters are an assembly of deviants. And I'm tired of dealing with deviants. I'm the one who really wants to put an end to all this."
— Muzan Kibutsuji, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Real Life
Whenever I was forced to take steps against the partisans and Jewish commissars in some village - I'll say it for the information of this group only - I made it a point to give the order to kill the women and children of these partisans and commissars. I would be a weakling and I would be committing a crime against our descendants if I allowed the hate-filled sons of the sub-humans we have liquidated in this struggle of humanity against sub-humanity to grow up.
