Hero	Quote	Audio	Background
Diablo III Hero	Sonya: There are two Nephalem present. Does this mean the minions of hell are stronger? Diablo III hero: <hero dependent>		In Diablo III, when another player joins the game, the message "[Player] has entered the game. The minions of hell grow stronger" will appear, with the hitpoints of monsters scaling according to the number of playeres.
	Diablo III hero: <something about minions of Hell being stronger> Sonya: (laughs) My blades hope it is so.
Demon	Sonya: Know this, demon: after this battle, I will destroy you. Demon: <hero dependent>		The Nephalem’s life is devoted to the killing of demons, and for Barbarians, it takes on a very personal level like for the Demon Hunters; after all, it was demons that corrupted the Worldstone and forced the destruction of their homeland.
	Demon: <hero dependent> Sonya: Worry about yourself, Hellspawn.
Jaina	Sonya: Well met, friend. Jaina: Well met? Have you been hanging around Uther?		n Hearthstone, Uther's Greeting emote is "Well met!". This quote has subsequently become something of a meme, and the quote is now pretty distinctly associated with Uther, even being referenced by one of his level 13 talents in Heroes.
	Jaina: I freeze them, you mow them down. Sound good? Sonya: Come, we will conquer this lot together.
Murky	Sonya: Wait, is that a fish? Do you fight with a fish? Murky: <Response indicating he is excited and ready to fight>		Believe it or not, a fish weapon isn’t actually the weirdest weapon. In Diablo III, there are weapons that include: a bow that shoots chickens, a dagger that is a hamburger, the Corrupted Ashbringer from World of Warcraft, a disco ball for an orb, and a cat on a string for a mojo (aka the kind of weapon Nazeebo’s troll head is).
	Murky: <Playfully questioning the person next to him> Sonya: I'm not even going to pretend I understand that.		One of many references to how Nerglish, the language of murlocs, is an unintelligible language for nearly everyone in Azeroth and, through HotS, every other universe.
Tyrael	Sonya: Angel, it is good to fight beside you once more. Tyrael: The honor is all mine, friend.		Tyrael becomes a close friend and ally to Sonya and the rest of the Nephalem, specifically helping them fight against Azmodan’s invasion at Bastion’s Keep and against the army of Diablo in the High Heavens.
	Tyrael: Well met, Nephalem. It is good to fight by your side once again. Sonya: All who stand before us shall lie broken and bleeding.
Generic	Sonya: Are you ready for the bloodshed to come? Hero: <hero dependent>
	Sonya: Well, are you ready? Hero: <hero dependent>
	Hero: <hero dependent> Sonya: I am always prepared to fight.
	Hero: <hero dependent> Sonya: Combat is my life now.
	Hero: <hero dependent> Sonya: Test my resolve if you wish.
Generic (Positive)	Sonya: Well met, friend. Hero: <hero dependent>
	Hero: <hero dependent> Sonya: Come, we will conquer this lot together.
	Hero: <hero dependent> Sonya: And I shall make this happen.
	Hero: <hero dependent> Sonya: So be it.
	Hero: <hero dependent> Sonya: We will crush the life from them.
	Hero: <hero dependent> Sonya: Our enemies will lie broken and bleeding.
	Hero: <hero dependent> Sonya: We shall drive our enemies before us.
Generic (Negative)	Sonya: Hmm, so it is you. Hero: <hero dependent>
	Hero: <hero dependent> Sonya: End your prattle we have a fight to win!

Eliminations

Hero	Quote	Audio	Background
vs. Azmodan	The reign of sin is over.		Azmodan’s plan was to invade Sanctuary, take the Black Soulstone, become the Prime Evil, and rule over all in Sin. The Nephalem stopped him, though this basically happened a second time with Diablo, except he got to skip the whole invading Sanctuary part and just got the soulstone right away to attack Heaven as the Prime Evil.
vs. Diablo III hero	(laughs) I love a good brawl!		Diablo III PvP is known as Brawling, likely from the fact that the guy who lets you into the PvP Arena is known as Nek the Brawler.
vs. Diablo	That is for Leah		Just like Li-Ming, Sonya references Leah when killing Diablo, the loveable daughter of Adria and Aidan, and the niece of Deckard Cain, who is possessed by the demon and her soul damned forever. While killing Diablo avenged her, the Nephalem continues to this day to find a way to save her soul and let her continue to the afterlife in peace, free from Diablo’s taint permanently.
vs. Magic-using hero	I hate staining my hands with the blood of foul sorcerers.		Barbarians very often express disdain for magic and its wielders. Even their friends, like Eirena is to Sonya/the Nephalem in general, aren’t exempt from their dislike of the stuff.
vs. Stitches	Put some clothes on.		While the Barbarian starts off wearing basically nothing, and continues to basically wear nothing for a large part of the game, at least they do wear something. Stitches doesn’t even do such a thing.
vs. Varian	I liked you better as Lo'gosh.		When Varian was made amnesiac and split into two parts by Onyxia, his combat prowess was Lo’Gosh, a gladiator under the service of Rehgar for the enjoyment of the Horde. When like this, Varian looks and acts a lot like a stereotypical barbarian like Conan.
vs. Warrior hero	Well fought, warrior.
vs. Zeratul	Only cowards skulk in the shadows.		There are no sneaky Barbarians. Never mind how hard it would be to be stealthy when you’re up to twice as tall as a normal human and with more muscle than they could hope to have, Barbarians also just hate more such tactics and prefer to get up close and personal with their foes, revelling in bloody melee.
vs. hero with kill streak	I am too much for you it seems.
Generic	Good riddance.
	I take no joy from killing you.
	I've had my fill of you.
	This battle is mine!
	Your flesh is weak.

Quote	Audio	Background
Why do you bother me?
Choose your next words carefully.
I swear, the next person who names me "Barbie" on Battle.net gets an axe to the forehead.		Barbie is a really girly doll collection for kids, and given it’s a female Barbarian, many people likely named her Barbie as a joke.
Bul-Kathos, I have never prayed to you before, I have no tongue for it. No one will remember why we fight, or why we die. All that matters is that five stood against five. I ask you, grant me one request. Improve my MMR! And if you do not listen, then to Hell with you.		References Arnold Schwarzenegger’s portrayal of Conan the Barbarian’s prayer to Crom.
Let's see... Crush enemies... done. Drive them before me... of course. Hear the lamentations of their women... Eh, let's skip that one.		Another reference to Conan.
You! Death by snu snu!		Reference to Futurama’s Amazonians, who were a race of giant, muscular, scantily-clad women who put men to death with “snu-snu”, or sex.
Blondes may have more fun, but red heads are more fun.		Reference to sexual quotes about brunettes being fine, blondes having more fun, but redheads never being forgotten.
Gingers do have souls! Okay?		Reference to the GINGERS DO HAVE SOULS emotional rant video response by a Youtuber named CopperCab, who uploaded it as a response to the South Park episode about gingers not having souls.
I keep killing, but no loot comes out. This game makes no sense.		In Diablo III, the entire goal of the game is to kill enemies to get really good items to kill more enemies faster to get better items. With enemies not dropping...well, anything in HotS, it’s very foreign to Sonya.
Ever have that nightmare where you're at work in your underwear? That's me every day.		Much of the female Barbarian armor puts them in a chainmail/leather bikini in Diablo III, and the same is true in HotS.
If I ever find out who invented the chainmail bikini I'm going to punch their jaw off their face.
Once in my many travels, a pig of man told me to make him a sandwich... So I sliced him nice and thin.		Reference to the misogynistic expression “Make me a sandwich!” rude men say to women, and with the female Barbarian easily reaching eight feet tall (to say nothing of the male Barbarian), with the muscle to match, she literally made him into a sandwich.
You know, I have been looking forward to some real PvP for a looong time.		Diablo III PvP is…not really that good. You can only do it against friends that are playing with you at the time in one single arena, so there’s basically no PvP in the game at all.
Hold on, hold on, let me write this down... Right-click moves, and right-click attacks... What does left-click do again? Ugh, I hate learning new control schemes.		In Diablo III, left-click moves and does your primary attack, so it’s basically a complete reversal of HotS controls.
My people have a saying, "When it snows, wear your thickest loincloth."		I’m not sure if this is a reference to anything specific, but it is really...ironic that the race that lives in the coldest part of Sanctuary wears the least amount of clothing.
Hmph, my swords are bigger than yours... Oh, come now, don't be ashamed! It happens to a lot of men.		A joke about a girl having a larger you know what than a guy.
