Coloring our works and illuminating our lives! A collection of memorable quotes by manga characters (21–30)
I want to win with my goal!NEW!Yoichi Isagi
Yoichi Isagi has a past where, in the final match of the national tournament during his second year of high school, he chose to pass to a teammate instead of going for goal himself, leading to defeat.
When he was first called to Blue Lock, his lack of confidence was also apparent in the entrance test, where he targeted opponents weaker than himself.
Realizing he wouldn’t change that way, he chose to confront stronger players.
In doing so, he awakened his spatial awareness—his primary weapon—and began constructing his own personal formula for scoring goals.
This quote expresses a powerful will that lays bare the egoist—the central concept of the story—and can be seen as Isagi’s vow to break with his formerly weak self.
Don’t win by chance. Seize victory by winning as you’re meant to.NEW!Jinhachi the Artistically Gifted
Episode 24 features a line bursting with energy from early in the story.
For Jinpachi, who was hired by Emperor-collar Henri dreaming of a World Cup victory, “winning by chance” simply isn’t good enough.
His barrage of domineering, high-pressure lines toward the players reads less like a “hired mission” and more like pure obsession.
We all turn to the gods sometimes, but from Jinpachi’s perspective it’s: “Don’t rely on luck!” That severity is exactly what forges these still-young soccer players.
Blue Lock is a manga you’ll want to recommend to friends who haven’t read it yet.

If you’ve given it your all, hold your head high. Become someone who accepts the chance results that await and keeps moving forward. Fortune continues to fall equally upon those who truly fight.NEW!Jinhachi the Artistically Gifted
Ego Jinpachi is the storyteller-like figure who drives this tale.
He’s the coach hired with the dream of leading Japan to a World Cup victory.
At key moments, Jinpachi’s egoistic lines appear and always tighten the story.
If you step away from the manga, these lines also serve as good advice for how we live our lives, especially about fighting on.
Just like in soccer, I believe that “opportunity rolls to those who never give up until the very end.” It’s also a line I want to say to fire myself up.
A so-called do-or-die moment isn’t a time to get scared—it’s a stage to get excited!NEW!Bachira Meguru
Bachira Meguru’s cool lines sometimes outshine even the protagonist’s—and of course he has plenty of fans.
With his outstanding ball technique and unpredictable play, he’s definitely one player you never want as an opponent.
There’s also that great mysterious touch: inside Bachira’s heart resides a being he calls the “monster,” and he moves according to what that “monster” says.
When you go blank during a test or make a big mistake at work—situations where you’re in a pinch—rather than fearing them, he treats them as opportunities.
That positive mindset is something we should learn from Bachira!
Even a dropout, if they work desperately hard, might surpass the elites.Son Goku 'Dragon Ball'
Dragon Ball, which has many devoted fans, is a manga loved by people of all ages.
There’s a line in Dragon Ball that says, “Even a failure, if they work desperately hard, might surpass the elites.” Within this quote lies his background as a Saiyan—not born an elite, but someone who overcame his limits through effort to become the strongest Saiyan.
We can learn the importance of hard work from this line in the Dragon Ball manga.
As long as there’s a spark, a person’s heart will blossom—so it will be okay.Kanae Kocho
Kanao Tsuyuri, whom the Kocho sisters doted on like a little sister, was a child who, because of her circumstances, wouldn’t even eat unless told to.
While Shinobu reprimanded Kanao, saying, “A child who can’t think and act for herself is no good—it’s dangerous,” Kanae spoke these words and handed Kanao a copper coin so she could make choices when she couldn’t decide on her own.
Isn’t it a wonderful quote that lets us feel her broad, compassionate heart? Kanae’s words would later come true in reality.
The rest is up to you.Kento Nanami
This is the line Nanami Kento left to Yuji Itadori in the end.
While cutting down the swarming mutated humans one after another, Nanami’s body had already reached its limit—so much so that he murmured, “I’m tired.” In that moment, Mahito appeared behind him, and Nanami left these words to Yuji before being struck down.
Nanami hesitated at first, thinking, “If I tell Yuji this, it will become a curse that binds him,” but he ultimately decided to say it.
Considering Nanami’s emotions—including that inner conflict—makes the weight of these words all the more palpable.
