"Revisions," the latest work from director Goro Taniguchi, the creator of Code Geass, has been airing since the winter of 2019. The story depicts the struggle that unfolds when Shibuya is transported back in time over 300 years into the future, and it's packed with memorable quotes. This time, we've compiled a ranking of the best quotes based on our own personal opinions!
1st Place: "Hey, stop it! Don't come near me. It's your turn now."
Nicholas's new look!
Nicholas, who has merged with Keisaku Asano and become a super-dimensional being capable of simultaneously existing in any time and space, destroys his quantum brain and reveals to Daisuke that Keisaku, not Daisuke, was the central figure in the Arve's role as puppet master, and that Daisuke was never an important person to the Arve.
Say goodbye to you, mob character, here!
Nicholas and Arv were planning to eliminate Keisaku Asano, who had merged with Nicholas, in the past, but Nicholas attempted to thwart them by traveling through time and disappearing from the scene. "Goodbye, goodbye! You poor clown who thought you were the main character and worked so hard! This is the end for you, a minor character!" Nicholas said, attempting to leap back in time.
Hey, stop it! Don't come!
However, both in the Arv's future predictions and in the future after the transfer, Daisuke, who had always behaved selfishly and unbecomingly, was an unexpected lump. This unexpected lump crashed into Nicholas, who was trying to travel through time, and became caught up in the time travel. Nicholas's unexpected behavior led him to blurt out, "Ah, stop it, don't come. Your turn is over now." This is one of Nicholas's most impactful lines, making a particularly memorable statement.
2nd Place: "Good Fight! Poor Boy!" 』
Nicholas Appears in the Past
Nicholas assimilates with Keisaku Asano and travels to the past. Nicholas attempts to eliminate Daisuke, his rival in every timeline of the past, but for some reason, it doesn't work out. It appears that Nicholas was also the one who kidnapped Daisuke in the past. In order to settle the score with his rival, Nicholas dutifully prepares a Daisuke puppet and attempts to settle the score with Daisuke outside of time.
Daisuke and Nicholas' Final Battle
Two like minds make a long-lasting bond
Daisuke struggles in his battle with Nicholas, but his past experience is not in vain. Daisuke, who was said to lack outstanding abilities, anticipates Nicholas's movements and fires a bullet. Daisuke and Nicholas share some similarities. Perhaps that's why Daisuke says to Nicholas, "You did a great job, Nicholas," and Nicholas praises him, saying, "Good fight, poor boy!"
Daisuke was a rather unconventional protagonist, even among robot anime. He may not even have been the main character. Nicholas, on the other hand, was a rather tricky final boss, even among robot anime. Daisuke may not have been the main character, but he was the sworn enemy of Nicholas, the final boss.
3rd Place: "Daisuke Dojima did not have outstanding abilities among the members and was shown to be a backup factor."
Nicholas Fuses with Keisaku
After the Arv abandoned Shibuya, the people of Shibuya somehow managed to power the puppets and entrusted their final hope to Daisuke. Daisuke headed alone to the Revisions headquarters to destroy the Quantum Brain. However, what he encountered there was a new form of Nicholas, fused with Keisaku.
Daisuke Wasn't a Significant Person at All
After fusing with the Fragment of Nothingness and gaining the ability to exist simultaneously in any time and space, Nicholas reveals a shocking truth to Daisuke: that Daisuke was never an important person to the Arv. The puppet's interface then adds a shocking line, seemingly confirming his words. However, Daisuke himself had a feeling this was true, and perhaps because he knew he wasn't special, he wasn't particularly upset.
4th Place: "I Want to Believe in Daisuke"
Daisuke Makes a Mistake
Daisuke was confined to solitary confinement after he arbitrarily deployed his puppets and even accidentally destroyed a city, causing a devastating disaster that could have resulted in deaths. However, with no hope of support from the Arves, his only hope of overcoming this situation was to invade the Revisions' headquarters and destroy the Quantum Brain.
Luu Believes in Daisuke
Naturally, Daisuke was supposed to participate as a fighting force, but the operation was undoubtedly more demanding and required greater cooperation than ever before. Gai, who repeatedly behaved selfishly, suggested that Daisuke be removed from the operation. Chief Kuroiwa suggested that Daisuke's participation be decided by majority vote, but Gai and Izumi opposed. Surprisingly, however, Luu agreed. Keisaku and Marimari also agreed, and Daisuke joined the operation.
What prophecy did Luu receive in the past?
Given Ruu's personality, it's not surprising that she would be opposed to this. But, thinking back, Ruu has often sided with Daisuke since being transferred to Shibuya. Why did Ruu trust Daisuke? This is just a casual line, but in fact, this one casual line was a major foreshadowing. Ruu had no memory of the past.
5th Place: "I'm betting on the possibilities that will arise from this!" 』
Daisuke Travels to the Past
Daisuke travels to the past in pursuit of Nicholas, and reunites with Milo. Milo attempts to kill Keisaku in the past, as ordered by Arve, but Daisuke stops him. While Arve's orders are absolute, Milo still has doubts. Milo is unsure of what to do.
Rivals
Nicholas then appears and takes Daisuke's past hostage. Daisuke tells Milo, "Don't do what the Arves tell you to do. Protecting everyone is my destiny." But Milo, of course, knows that's a lie. Daisuke Dojima isn't a key character in Puppet Master, and the idea that he's destined to protect everyone was simply a product of Daisuke's imagination.
That's My Destiny
Milo reveals to Daisuke that the Arves' predictions of the future were wrong from the start, but Daisuke knew this, including that he wasn't a central character. Even so, Daisuke showed no sign of being shaken. Yet, Daisuke Dojima fought through 2388 as a central character, and the fact that he's here now represents a new possibility that Daisuke demonstrated by defying fate. Milo places his trust in this new possibility.
The Future Daisuke Paved the Way for
From the beginning, I thought Daisuke was unworthy of being the protagonist, and he really wasn't the protagonist at all... But even so, Daisuke defied fate and left new possibilities open... This was the true meaning of Daisuke being the protagonist.
6th Place: "This is your destiny, the one you build. Believe in that destiny."
The height of internal conflict
The raid on the Revisions base ended in failure, resulting in the catastrophic loss of Keisaku and one puppet. This prompted some executives to rebel, freeing Mayor Muta from his cell and taking Izumi and Ruu hostage in an attempt to resume negotiations with the Revisions.
Don't be selfish
However, Daisuke, Chief Kuroiwa, and others thwarted his plan, and negotiations with Nicholas, who was also present, broke down. With no other options, Mayor Muta became desperate and shot Kuroiwa with a nearby gun. In response, Chief Kuroiwa shot back at Mayor Muta. Mayor Muta was killed. However, Chief Kuroiwa also collapsed. Chief Kuroiwa, who had led the Shibuya Drifter as their de facto leader, entrusted the future to those remaining and left behind some final words before passing away.
The Conscience of the Revisions
In the end, Mayor Muta's actions were wrong, as Revisions was not amenable to proper negotiation. However, Mayor Muta, being Mayor Muta, was still searching for what he could do for everyone. The deaths of two leaders who had led the group in an internal dispute are a terrible outcome, but Chief Kuroiwa, who continued to inspire everyone as a leader until his death, was a character who could be considered the conscience of the story.
7th Place: "Accepting Everything... Is Impossible"
A Mysterious Presence Insults Daisuke
Muku, a senior member of the Revisions, attacks Shibuya with a large force. With the puppets' energy levels running low, the situation becomes desperate, and their only hope, Milo, must travel through time and leave the area. Daisuke, Ruu, and Gai put in a heroic performance with the two remaining puppets, but then the mysterious entity that attacked Daisuke appears.
Could you be...?
She appears before Daisuke again, relentlessly attacking him while sending him a message. However, just as Marimari was about to be attacked by the Civilians, Daisuke saved her and sent a message saying, "Run, Marimari!", which led Daisuke to intuitively realize that the entity was Keisaku.
That's impossible!
The mysterious entity attempts to attack Daisuke, who is showing signs of vulnerability, but stops at the last moment and disappears, leaving behind the message, "Accepting everything... is impossible." It's unclear what Keisaku's intentions were when Milo told him to "accept everything," but it seems he couldn't accept a future in which he was caught up in the Shibuya teleportation, his mother was killed before his eyes, and he himself vanished...even from the official website's homepage.
8th Place: "I don't believe you're worthy of the people my family and friends risked their lives to protect!"
Daisuke's Selfishness Continues to Outrage
Daisuke and the other five were supposed to be Milo's chosen ones. At least, that's what Daisuke thought. However, their actions were extremely uncooperative and foolish. Milo, who supposedly chose them, uttered harsh words to Daisuke and the others, who, despite their behavior, believed themselves to be the chosen ones.
That's what everyone was thinking
Viewers who have been following the series smoothly up to this point are probably thinking the same thing. Especially with Daisuke, his behavior up to that point was so outrageous that it's hard not to wonder why he said such things to him. These questions will be answered later.
9th Place: "Don't mess with me... I'll travel back in time to the light of my fellow countrymen."
Happy Birthday
Revisions executive Chiharu Isurugi uses captured humans as material to regenerate into new bodies equipped with quantum brains. Chiharu, who received a Happy Birthday from Mukyu, received a new body... It was a birth filled with hope for her. She's no longer afraid of anything!
Mami Risou
However, immediately afterward, Keisaku appears in a rage after witnessing the murder of his mother. Naturally, Keisaku has no way of forgiving those who killed his mother. Keisaku uses his puppet to grasp Chiharu's head...
The coloring of Unit-01...
This scene is somewhat reminiscent of the scene in Evangelion where Unit-01 crushes Kaworu Nagisa... Look, look closely at Keisaku's Neurosuit design! The suit designs of the other Puppet Masters are somewhat similar, too. Keisaku in Unit-01's position was definitely the main character.
10th Place: "Then be grateful! Say thank you! Acknowledge me! Acknowledge me!" '
Daisuke Gets Badly Beaten
Not only did Daisuke selfishly dispatch the puppets, but he was also badly beaten by the Unknown (Gespensts). Even after accidentally firing his weapon, destroying town buildings and potentially resulting in fatalities, Daisuke showed no remorse.
Undeserved Punishment
Thus, despite being reprimanded by Chief Kuroiwa and others and being placed under solitary confinement, Daisuke showed no remorse. Instead, he continued to maintain a condescending attitude, insisting that it was he who was protecting him. Naturally, it was only natural that he would be looked down upon by those around him. In this situation, Daisuke was frustrated that his selfish actions were ignored and no one acknowledged his accomplishments, and he said this line:
But it's not my fault!
This memorable line encapsulates Daisuke's immaturity and selfishness, making him hard to believe he's the main character. Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, this is where Daisuke begins to change. This is also where Revisions really gets interesting. Can't you all just trust Daisuke? (Famous Quote)

This time, I've compiled my own opinionated top 10 ranking of famous quotes from Revisions. I think Revisions is an anime that many people abandon midway through.
