Quotes:

Commando: That's Lord Yupa. Kill him and you'll be famous.

Yupa: In the midst of my travels, I heard of an ominous rumor... It said that a monster from the ancient world had been excavated from beneath the city of Pejite where it had been sleeping.::Mito: A monster from the ancient world?::Yupa: It's a God Warrior.::Mito: A God Warrior? You mean, the ones that burned the world in the Seven Days of Fire...? This thing...!::Yupa: All God Warriors should have become fossils. But this one managed to sleep underground for 1000 years.::Mito: Now that you mention it, it does seem to have a human form.

Nausicaä: [Trying to calm a wild Teto] There's nothing to fear... [tries to pet him, but he bites her and holds on, growling] [winces, but says calmly] There's nothing to fear... [He calms and releases his bite and begins to lick it]

Nausicaä: It's so beautiful. It's hard to believe these spores could kill me.

Kushana: Nice valley. Think I'll keep it.

Yupa: [about Kushana's arm] An insect did that?::Kushana: Yes, and whatever lucky man becomes my husband shall see far worse than that.

Kurotowa: She's alive. There goes that dream.

Asbel: Why does everything that's good for you have to taste so bad?

Kurotowa: [the god warrior's mid section partially disintegrates] It's rotting... it's too soon...

Yupa: I suggest you surrender. There is no ship coming to rescue you.::Commando: This guy is tough...
