Fiamma of the Right/Quotes

Fiamma of the Right (右方のフィアンマ) is the leader of God's Right Seat, the primary antagonistic organization in the Toaru Majutsu no Index universe in the later half of the series. A manipulative man of lofty propensities, Fiamma of the Right says some of the most arrogant quotes in the entire series.

Quotes

 * I really am delighted. Even though it is a complete victory on my part, your overwhelming stupidity has made this so enjoyable.
 * Said to Matthai Reese, the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 16.

 * I suppose you could call it the external controller for John’s Pen, the safety device installed on Index Librorum Prohibitorum. It is a treasured item held only by the heads of the royal family and the Anglican Church. Of course, there’s the contamination from the original grimoires, so it’s really only a last resort. …Didn’t you find it odd? No matter how much she wanted it herself, did you really think they would leave the Index Librorum Prohibitorum that held the 103,000 grimoires in the middle of that city of science with no insurance whatsoever? And it was the Archbishop that created this cruel system.
 * Said to Kamijou Touma, regarding Index, from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 18.

 * Said to Aleister Crowley, from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 22.

Monologues

 * The Son of God used His Right Hand to cure the illnesses of the sick and revive the deceased. It was the Right Hand which drew the Cross and scattered the Holy water used for the Baptism of Christ. Furthermore, the Right Hand of The Likeness of God has the distinction of being the greatest weapon in history, having cast down an uncountable number of Fallen Angels; even The One Who Challenged the Light was defeated when opposed by the Right Hand of The Likeness of God. It is such an overwhelming power. However, the Holy Right possesses such immeasurable power it is not something a mere human can control. The Holy water an ordinary follower scatters or the Cross they draw with their hand... they possess but a mere shadow of the power the legendary acts they are imitating possessed. Nothing more. Even if performed by a Saint or member of God’s Right Seat, all are still of the human body. Understand this, Pope of the Roman Catholic Church: I am still, in the end, merely human. Such a troublesome existence. To summarize, I possess the 「Miracle of the Right Hand」, but am unable to utilize its full potential. Even with such power, its feats are infantile when compared to their originators. Like recording a modern television program with a black and white television set. The Right Hand which creates all miracles will destroy all evil. The power of the Right sent the Lord of Devils into Hell and ensured there he would be bound for one-thousand years. If I can completely master the Holy Right... are you not curious as to what is inside it?




 * The angel’s role ended once the sky had been turned to this night sky I wanted. I mentioned that the symbols of Uriel and Raphael were out of alignment earlier. And I also mentioned that the name Misha Kreutzev was not suitable for Gabriel as it is derived from Michael. Using Gabriel to remove all the stars from the sky and leaving the Star of Bethlehem as the only thing floating in the incomplete heavens that are filled with Telesma was establishing the large flow of power needed for the ceremony to reset the four elements. You stopped the magic circle covering the surface of the sky that Misha caused during Angel Fall and the Croce di Pietro that used the arrangement of the stars as seen from the earth’s surface, so I’m sure I do not need to explain just how much important magical meaning there is in controlling the screen known as the heavens. The prophets believed that a certain star would appear in the night sky to mark the birth of the Son of God. I suppose you could say I am carrying out a large-scale spell that uses that legendary truth. Well, I’ve also affected the flow of power on the surface by moderately destroying churches and cathedrals all across the world. You didn’t really think this would all be over after I merely got the Star of Bethlehem into the sky, did you? This is just the means. My goal is much higher. The Star of Bethlehem, World War III, and the remote control spiritual item for the 103,000 grimoires were all just preparations. But that’s not all. The most important part is this right arm. It all resides here. All I’m saying is that I could not carry out the ceremony I wish to without setting the stage like this. And the completion of the first stage comes with a nice benefit. Did you know? Fire, water, wind, earth. Each of those four elements carries the leading edge of its type of power, but at the same time, using one element has a broader effect on the three other elements. That is why all large-scale ceremonies except practical battle ones use one of each symbolic weapon as opposed to just the symbolic weapon of the primary element. That is true even in fire ceremonies. In other words, my fire has always held the requirements needed to control all four elements. By controlling all four, I should gain a vast amount of power. But that is all if the distortion in the lineup of the world’s elements did not exist. Proper power cannot be perfectly used except for in a proper world. Now I will show you what proper power is.
 * Said to Kamijou Touma, from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 21


 * The Roman Catholic Church does not matter. Well, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t thinking of Christian society in a broader sense, but at the core, my actions are for myself. Also, I am not the cause of this war. It may be true that I pulled the trigger, but the spiral of anger, resentment, jealousy, and other negative emotions at the base of this war is nothing more than what had already taken root in people all over the world. If not, the flames of war would not have spread in such a short time no matter how violently I had tried to stir up war. I am an indulgence. As long as they are able to claim they did something because they were ordered to and not because they truly wanted to, people can let out what lies inside them no matter how inhuman it may be. That is just how ugly the creatures known as humans are.
 * On the nature of humanity, from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 22.

Quotes about Fiamma of the Right

 * Of course I have. It wasn’t on the level of all humanity living on this planet and it may have looked insignificant when viewed from a satellite or something else looking down on the planet, but I have saved it. It may be insignificant or whatever, but I have seen the instant at which one person’s 'world' is saved.
 * Kamijou Touma, responding to Fiamma asking if he has experienced the power to save the world, from Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 22.
