Adds color to works and illuminates life! A collection of memorable quotes by manga characters (51–60)
There are guys like rock, guys like scissors, and guys like paper.Muta Nanba
This is a famous quote from ‘Space Brothers.’ It was directed at team members who were clashing with each other.
It teaches that a team exists precisely because each person has their own individuality.
Like rock-paper-scissors, it’s not about who is stronger; it works as a single game precisely because of those unique traits.
Someone who doesn’t believe in themselves isn’t worth the effort!!!Might Guy
This is a famous quote from Naruto.
These are the words Might Guy declared to his student Rock Lee, who was on the verge of breaking down after realizing that even with constant effort he still couldn’t defeat the opponent he wanted to overcome.
It teaches that when striving toward high goals, the first step is to believe in yourself.
Even if we keep losing and losing, we have no choice but to go on living—no matter how badly we’re beaten down.
@usercvsreb187u [Demon Slayer ⑦] Even after losing someone, we have no choice but to keep living. I think that resonated with everyone. It’s an amazing quote—it’s even used in Tanjiro’s song. And Tanjiro, who stays calm despite having lost so many people he loves—he’s so mature that I’m like, is he really the same age as me?#DemonSlayer
♫ Original song – Nezuko (QST fan) – Nezuko (QST fan)
These are words Tanjiro speaks early in the story to someone who has suffered at the hands of demons, urging them to keep moving forward.
No matter how much we lose or how devastated we are, time will not turn back; he appeals to the importance of carrying our memories in our hearts and moving ahead.
The scene is striking in the way it includes the flow of events: the person initially argues back, but upon seeing Tanjiro’s expression, understands everything and offers an apology.
It’s a line filled with a powerful resolve that only Tanjiro—who chose the path of battle after losing so much—could truly say.
Eternity is the will of people. It’s human feelings that are truly eternal and indestructible.

While searching for each other, he finally came face to face with Muzan Kibutsuji and delivered this famous line: “Eternity is the will of humans.
It’s human will that is eternal and indestructible.” It’s a line that speaks to the futility of targeting Nezuko Kamado in pursuit of eternal, undying life.
Even if one’s life comes to an end, their will is passed down to future generations and will not vanish until their purpose is fulfilled—a message made all the more convincing coming from a clan that has fought demons for a thousand years.
It’s a quote that highlights the stark difference in values between demons and humans.
Don’t cry, don’t despair—this isn’t the time for that.
@motivation_movie39 What matters is to face forward. Even if you stop once, you can start walking again. Demon Slayer — Giyu Tomioka’s quote: “Do not despair.”TranslationCollection of Quotes # Words that resonate with the heartDespair#Liveeffort#DemonSlayer#demonslayerFace forwardPositive thinking
Original song – Garden of Words – Garden of Words/Haru
Following one of Giyu’s most famous lines, “Don’t let others hold the power of life and death over you!”, this was depicted as his inner monologue.
At first, that quote might sound harsh and dismissive, but hearing this inner voice makes you realize he said it for Tanjiro’s sake.
Not long after the shock of having his family killed by demons, Nezuko’s life is put in danger next… In his heart, Giyu empathizes with the despair Tanjiro is feeling, and urges him to turn those feelings into a driving force.
Hang in there! People are driven by their hearts. The heart can become stronger without limit!
https://www.tiktok.com/@tienthanh_1999/video/7529884883594808593The famous line directed at Kanao Tsuyuri, who couldn’t easily express her feelings or thoughts: “Do your best! A person’s heart is their driving force, so the heart can become infinitely strong!” It was this quote that prompted Kanao—who used to decide anything outside of orders by flipping a coin—to gradually start acting on her own will.
Humans are fragile creatures, and when we think we can’t do something, we sometimes fail even at simple tasks.
But conversely, when we steel our hearts, we can perform beyond our usual abilities.
It’s a line that carries real weight precisely because it comes from Tanjiro Kamado, who lives straightforwardly with unwavering conviction.
Let’s do our best to keep living! Even if we’re lonely!Kyojuro Rengoku
These are the words Rengoku said to his younger brother, Senjuro.
But it also feels as if he was saying them to himself.
Rengoku’s father, Shinjuro, was once a Hashira.
However, after being crushed by certain circumstances and then losing his beloved wife, he gave up on everything.
He stopped training Rengoku, and even after Rengoku became a Hashira, he hurled cruel words at him, saying he didn’t care.
Even in the midst of all that, Rengoku told Senjuro, “Let’s keep doing our best.” It was a moment that revealed both his deep care for his brother and a poignant side of Rengoku that we don’t usually see.
I’ll carry my mother on my back and walk through hell.Sanemi Shinazugawa
https://www.tiktok.com/@maria.__.98/video/7069741255697255707This famous line was spoken in a dream by Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira, whose hatred and obsession toward demons are unmatched even among the Pillars, after a life-or-death battle with a demon.
It offers a glimpse of Sanemi’s true self—someone feared by many in the Demon Slayer Corps.
When you know the events that shaped his seemingly deranged personality and the past he carries, hearing this line makes your heart tremble.
Precisely because Sanemi is often described as heartless and merciless, the quote leaves such a strong impression, highlighting the depth and richness of the work Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Don’t be ashamed. The ones who are alive are the winners. Don’t misjudge your chance.Tengen Uzui
https://www.tiktok.com/@divx0919_beta01/video/7377312571046530322These words were said by Tengen Uzui to Tanjiro and Inosuke, who had infiltrated the red-light district.
Judging that the demon lurking there was too strong and that Tanjiro and Inosuke lacked the ability to handle it, he ordered them to withdraw.
However, since Zenitsu, who had infiltrated with them, had gone missing, Tanjiro was about to object.
That’s when Uzui said this.
The line is likely tied to his background as a former shinobi who was raised to put fighting above all else.
It’s a phrase filled with kindness—essentially, he’s telling them, “Don’t die.”
It’s people’s feelings that are eternal and indestructible.Ubuyashiki Kagaya
@lad2d Ubuyashiki Kagaya (Oyakata-sama) vs Muzan #kimetsunoyaiba#season4kny#anime#demonslayer
♬ original sound – Lad | 2D World – Lad | 2D World
These are the words spoken by Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, to his archenemy Muzan Kibutsuji.
Muzan seeks to remain unchanged in a perfect form forever—essentially, to obtain an immortal body—but Kagaya firmly rejects the notion that eternity means becoming immortal.
He says that true eternity lies in the feelings of people that are passed down and never fade, even across long stretches of time, and he adds that the very existence of the Demon Slayer Corps proves this.
It’s a standout line that highlights the clash between the leaders of the Demon Slayers and the demons in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
