Standing in his way, Arlecchino scorns Narumi, who has completely given up being human and become a Shirogane, saying, "You were a beautiful "human" precisely because you died, but now you're not even human." In response, Narumi Kato replies, "Humans aren't beautiful because they die! Even when they're nearly dead, they can still remember they're alive and smile. That's why they're beautiful." These are the words of Narumi Kato, who, despite giving up being human, still stands up to carry on the will of his fallen comrades who tried to save him.

Kato Narumi suffers from Zonaha disease, a condition that causes him to suffer uncontrollably if he doesn't make someone laugh. However, for better or worse, Narumi overcame Zonaha disease by becoming Shirogane, but he did not understand just how terrible a disease it really is. When Narumi visits a facility housing Zonaha patients, he is repeatedly told by those around him, "This is hell."
Patients with Zonaha disease have no cure and live in constant fear that they could die tomorrow, and the hospital staff force themselves to laugh by administering drugs that are almost like narcotics to alleviate the patients' symptoms even if only a little. What's more, the true horror of Zonaha disease is that it prevents patients from aging and makes it impossible for them to die.
"This is hell" is a famous quote that succinctly expresses just how terrible a disease Zonaha disease really is, and it shows that the staff have to laugh for the sake of the patients, even if they are too unhappy and unable to, and that it is a hell where patients cannot die even if they want to.

The "Four Oldest" were created for the purpose of making the Francine doll laugh. They were initially portrayed as enemies that Shirogane and his friends had to defeat. However, when it was revealed that the Francine doll had long ago been replaced by a fake, their reason for existence was lost.
However, after inheriting Francine's memories and turning his loyalty to her spitting image, Eleanor, he breaks ties with his creator, Faceless. However, Arlecchino and Pantalone are destroyed by the final four and are on the verge of shutting down. Just before that happens, however, the two see Eleanor smiling from the bottom of her heart.

The final boss of this work, the nauseating evil "Faceless." This is the scene where a man who had lived for hundreds of years and never once reflected on his actions is influenced by Saiga Katsu, who was in the same position as him, and dies while admitting his mistakes.
Faceless once loved the same woman as his brother, and that woman in turn loved his brother. Although Faceless took the woman his brother loved, he was unable to find happiness. He then asks Saiga Katsu, who was in the same position as him, why he didn't take the woman he loved. Saiga Katsu replies that even if he had, he wouldn't have been happy.
Realizing his own ugliness, he acknowledges the sins he has committed and, in the end, works with Saiga Katsu to escape the crisis. Faceless then understands the feelings of his brother who watches over him, and after helping Saiga Katsu escape, he utters an apology as if to bring the curtain down on everything, a clear statement that brings the story to a close.

Top 10 Karakuri Circus Quotes
I've compiled a list of the top 10 quotes. What do you think? I actually wanted to include Fujitaka Jubilo's "This is bad... I can't wrap this up!" somewhere in the rankings, but since it's not Karakuri Circus, I left it out. Karakuri Circus is a work that stretches itself so far that it can't be wrapped up, but I still think it's a masterpiece that becomes more appealing the more you experience it.
