Kill la Kill: Ryuko Matoi's infamous finale lines

Also, her lines in the finale having to do with finale are just ingenious if you don't just get a laugh out of it.
"I am my clothes. I am not my clothes. I am both me and my clothes. I am neither me nor my clothes."
There's a very Buddhist element to this show, in addition to the clothes spirit Shintoism aspect of the show that works on a Matrix-like level, which writer Kazuki Nakashima might've acquired acquisitioning his part of the Kamen Rider franchise from writer Yasuko Kobayashi, who is obviously immersed in these roles as seen in her previous toku work, which in turn was inspired by the great anti-establishment anti-Nazi works of Shotaro Ishinomori.
Is it Kazuki Nakashima's work? Is it Yasuko Kobayashi's work? Or is it Shotaro Ishinomori's work that should be credited for Kill la Kill?
All of them?
None of them?
