@animehaikyu_official

By the way, my ordinary self—do you really have time to be looking down?Haikyu!!!!" From Anime Season 4, Episode 16) If you keep at it until you can do it, you can do it — Haikyuu!! The MovieDecisive Battle at the Garbage DumpOpens on February 16 🏐MovieTranslation

♪ Original Song – Official 'Haikyu!!' – Official 'Haikyu!!'

These words, portrayed like the inner monologue of Ryunosuke Tanaka, who appears as an upperclassman in Haikyuu!!—a story depicting high school students giving their all in volleyball—acknowledge his own lack of talent while expanding his thinking toward finding his own way forward.

They express the resolve that for an ordinary person to face talent, it’s crucial to keep working hard—there’s no time to stand still.

It’s a message that seems to speak broadly to many people: do everything you can with all your might.

But for my part, I prefer Miss Kaoru’s sweet, naive nonsense over such truths.NEW!Himura Kenshin

Set in early Meiji-era Japan, this line from Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story is spoken by Kenshin Himura to Kaoru Kamiya.

He frankly conveys his appreciation for the ideal of a “sword that gives life,” a noble sentiment that runs counter to the notion of the sword as a mere instrument of killing.

Because it’s Kenshin—who had wielded the sword as a weapon—expressing that admiration, it also conveys a sense of hope for a changing era.

Appearing early in the story, the line naturally makes you wonder how it will influence everything that follows.

When Doraemon yells “Nobita!”, I burst into tears.DoraemonNobitaWelcome back, DoraemonGoodbye Doraemon#DoraemonTouchingScene

Original song – Milk – sugar_milk723

This is a line spoken by Nobita in “Doraemon Comes Back,” one of the most moving scenes in the beloved series Doraemon.

With Doraemon about to return to the future, Nobita takes a courageous step to face Gian so that Doraemon can leave without worry.

After scraping out a battered victory, he turns to Doraemon and says these words.

Up to then, Nobita had relied on Doraemon, but here he resolves to manage on his own and follows through, showing his growth.

It’s a line that conveys Nobita’s compassion for others and the strength he shows when it really counts.

You can’t truly feel regret unless you accept your defeat.NEW!Seishiro Nagi

@user2263325271008

#CapCutI cut corners, but this is my favorite Sei Shiro Nagi quote.

♪ Original song – Hanamakitaro – Hanamakitaro

Speaking of Seishiro Nagi, he’s a laid-back, loose, and seemingly unmotivated character.

The fact that he was called up to Blue Lock just six months after starting shows his high potential and real ability, but he never really seemed to be enjoying himself on the field.

However, after losing a match to the protagonist Isagi, he discovered how fun soccer can be.

This famous quote is something Nagi muttered to Barou, who was playing selfishly.

It shows just how significant that defeat was to someone like Nagi, who had never shown strong interest in anything, and how much it changed him.

I’m here to change my life. I’m here to become the best in the world. If I don’t beat someone stronger than me, nothing will change.NEW!Yoichi Isagi

@amatyua1

That quality from episode 1—I want to see the next part already!Blue LockSeiichi KiyoshiRyousuke Kira#BachiraMeguru#EgoJinpachi#Striker 　

♬ Original song – A man who wants to spread Blue Lock – Blue Rock

A fiery line that was also used in Isagi Yoichi’s character introduction PV when the anime adaptation was announced.

If you could say something like that in real life, every day would be a heart-pounding thrill! You can really feel Yoichi’s ironclad resolve as he stakes his entire soccer life on taking on the Blue Lock Project.

It might have been the exact moment I thought, “Ah, this is a soccer manga unlike anything before!” But looking back now, the scene where Bachira Meguru effortlessly steals the ball from him right after has also become one of the series’ iconic moments.

Don’t aim to make the right choice; make the path you chose the right one.NEW!Bachira Meguru

Spontaneous and innocent Bachira Meguru, unusually, seems to be troubled in this scene—though maybe he wasn’t actually worried after all? These words appear when he’s torn over which country’s team to choose in the “Neo Egoist League.” Rather than living passively by “just picking and leaving the rest to luck,” it feels like he’s telling us that what matters is the strong will to carve out the path you’ve chosen yourself.

Remember Bachira’s line the next time you have to make a choice.

I will lead Japan to win the U-20 World Cup.NEW!Yoichi Isagi

Blue Lock: Isagi Yoichi’s famous quote scene

At first, the protagonist Yoichi Isagi lacked confidence in himself, but inside Blue Lock he awakened to his spatial awareness.

As he advanced through the selections and honed that talent, the U-20 Japan match arrived.

In that game, Isagi scored a direct shot that became the decisive blow for victory.

And in the subsequent hero interview, he declared these words.

It was the moment when someone who had considered himself ordinary compared to the other members stood on the side of the geniuses.

His confidence was incredibly cool to see!
