Coloring our works and illuminating our lives! A collection of famous quotes by manga characters (61–70)
It’s not about whether I can win or not—here and now, I have to stand up to you!Unlicensed rider
This is a famous quote from One-Punch Man.
Even though he knows his ability isn’t high and he can’t beat the opponent in front of him, Mumen Rider stands and fights, battered and bruised, because if he runs away here, civilians will be caught up in it.
These words, embodying a life that never gives up, are truly moving.
I’ll stake my life on it, but I have no intention of throwing it away.Megumi Fushiguro
From Aoi Todo’s words, we can see that while he is willing to risk his life for what he personally considers important, he would never throw his life away according to someone else’s values.
He is prepared to stake his life on his own convictions, but he will not die a meaningless death because someone told him to.
This line reveals Todo’s independent mindset and beliefs, showing how much he values acting straightforwardly in accordance with his own sense of values.
Even if our ways of thinking differ, I’m proud of you… You’re truly a kind child.Uchiha Fugaku
It’s one of the famous quotes from Naruto.
When Itachi Uchiha, who chose to annihilate his own clan under orders from the village, was about to kill his parents, his father, Fugaku Uchiha, said these words to him.
No matter what choice is made, words that still convey deep love can’t be read without tears.
Both sides think they’re right. That’s what war is like.Doraemon
Here’s a famous quote from Doraemon, the beloved national manga by Fujiko F.
Fujio.
While Doraemon often jokes around or speaks a bit harshly to Nobita, he occasionally delivers profound lines.
This one, too, could be considered a quote that cuts to the essence of war.
What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is also mine.Takeshi Gouda (Gian)
This is a famous quote from Doraemon.
It’s widely known as a line from the bully Gian, but it also hints at his kinder side.
For example, there’s an episode where, when Nobita loses something, Gian keeps searching for it as if it were his own.
Don’t ask other people. Can’t you think for yourself?
These are Urokodaki’s words when he appeared just as Tanjiro was fighting a demon for the first time and about to deliver the finishing blow.
At the time, Tanjiro didn’t yet know how to finish off a demon and was advancing on it with a dagger.
Seeing this, Urokodaki told him that wouldn’t be enough to kill it.
Panicking, Tanjiro asked how to land the finishing blow.
Urokodaki then delivered this line, pushing Tanjiro away.
Perhaps he wanted Tanjiro to develop the ability to think and act on his own, or he wanted to gauge Tanjiro’s potential.
His curt words might make him seem cold, but behind them lay concern for Tanjiro’s circumstances and a desire to protect what’s important to him.
I will become stronger than anyone and protect you for the rest of my life.
These are the words he spoke to his lover when he was still human—the very reason behind Akaza’s lifelong pursuit of strength as a demon.
They express a pure wish: to gain the power to protect the one he loves, and to live happily together with that precious person.
Later, regret drives him to seek strength as a demon, but even in his role as a villain, his fixation on power may be influenced by the vow he made then.
It’s a heartbreaking line, because you can feel the kindness in that wish and see how it became distorted from this point onward.
