It colors our works and lights up our lives! A collection of famous quotes by manga characters (41–50)
I want to win with my goal!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.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.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.
Even in despair, the power to “make dreams come true” dwells in those who still choose to fight.Jinhachi the Artistically Gifted
The story kicks off as the ace-caliber players from across the country are gathered into the team.
Players brimming with talent don’t lose often, so when they do, they tend to get totally deflated—like, “thud.” This line is what Teruei Barou says after losing to the protagonist, Isagi Yoichi.
It’s a phrase from a longer monologue where Jinpachi lays out his own theory about what it means to “lose.” He delivers it while casually eating cup yakisoba, which oddly gives the words an extra sense of conviction.
It’s a fantastic scene and line—highly recommended if you haven’t seen it!
A so-called do-or-die moment isn’t a time to get scared—it’s a stage to get excited!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!
The weakest person has the most potential.
The famous line said to Genya Shinazugawa, who was frustrated with his own weakness: “The weakest person has the most potential.” Both in the story and in the real world, there are inevitably situations where people are ranked by strength.
However, being weak also means having room to grow.
What’s more, the strong often underestimate the weak, become complacent, or fail to notice them at all.
That’s precisely why, when unexpected power is unleashed, the weak can sometimes outwit even the strong.
It’s a quote worth remembering, whether or not you know the work it comes from.
If someone says they believe in you, the only thing you should think about is answering that belief!!
https://www.tiktok.com/@lj…rk/video/7279190181687725314In the battle against Akaza, the Upper Rank Three, Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, staked his life to protect the passengers of the Mugen Train and Tanjiro’s group who were traveling with them.
As he lay dying, Rengoku told Tanjiro and Inosuke, who were there with him, “Next, you two must become the pillars that support the Demon Slayer Corps.” Having been unable to contribute anything in the fight, Tanjiro lost confidence in that moment and, in tears, voiced his weakness: “I wonder if I can ever be like Rengoku…” In response, Inosuke fired him up with this line, shouting, “Even if it’s frustrating, don’t you dare cry!” With tears streaming down his own face as he said it, Inosuke’s words surely moved everyone’s heart.
Even though it’s all me, am I supposed to pretend I’m not myself?
@kitty_3l0ve There are a lot of people who were saved by Tanjiro’s words, right?#DemonSlayerMitsuri KanrojiSwordsmith Village ArcRecommendation#fyp
♫ Original song – –
Mitsuri has a unique constitution: despite her appearance, her muscle density is eight times that of an ordinary person, and she has a hearty appetite.
Her black hair also changed to a fashionable color from eating too many sakura-mochi.
Because of that, a marriage meeting fell through, so she dyed her hair black, suppressed her appetite, and pretended to be an ordinary girl.
Her efforts paid off, and a man appeared who said he wanted to marry her.
But only then did she confront the question and discomfort: “Am I really going to keep living like this?” Those words are what Mitsuri asked herself.
Luffy, help me!ONE PIECE (Nami)
A famous quote from One Piece.
These are the words Nami threw at Luffy in Cocoyasi Village when she realized they were completely defeated by Arlong.
Arlong is a fish-man, with strength far beyond that of humans.
Nami was captured by Arlong and forced to work as his navigator.
He told her to bring 100 million berries if she wanted to protect Cocoyasi Village, but whenever she was close to saving enough, he would take it away, forcing her back to zero with no way out.
She was tattooed on her shoulder and made entirely part of Arlong’s crew.
However, everything changed when Luffy came to Cocoyasi Village, and Nami ended up asking Luffy for help.
Whether you’re happy or not is up to you. What matters is the ‘now.’ Let’s look forward. Let’s do our best together.Nezuko Kamado
@w._xm6 Whether you are happy or not is up to you.#DemonSlayerTanjiro Kamado#Nezuko KamadoKamado siblings#fyp
♪ Original song – ⚝ – ⚝
Because his family was slaughtered while he was away and his younger sister Nezuko was turned into a demon, Tanjiro is filled with deep regret.
He also feels a strong sense of “I’m sorry” toward Nezuko.
These lines are from a dream he has while unconscious after the fierce battle in the Entertainment District arc.
As Tanjiro, burdened by his responsibility as an older brother, pities Nezuko, she—angry yet earnest—insists that she is happy, that she wants to fight alongside him, and that she wants him to understand how she feels.
In our own lives as well, what matters is not how others see us, but whether we ourselves feel happy.
