Anime quotes themed around comrades, bonds, and family (21–30)
If a friend starts down the wrong path, then stop them even if it means breaking the friendship. That is the true camaraderie of a samurai.Tae Shimura
Gintama is a boys’ manga that gained popularity for its setting that mixes the late Edo period with sci-fi and its exquisite balance of seriousness and comedy.
The quote by the character Otae Shimura, “If a friend starts down the wrong path, then stop them even if it means breaking your friendship—that is the true friendship of a samurai,” is a message worth remembering even if you’re not a samurai.
It teaches us that if you truly care about someone, there are more important things than preserving a superficial friendship—an idea that matters in the real world as well.
Nana liked Shoji because he liked her. Romance is a relationship between people, after all, so if you can’t be considerate of the other person, it’s never going to work.Junko Saotome
These are the words Hachi’s friend said to her right after Shoji broke up with her in the anime NANA.
Love is difficult, but as Junko’s words suggest, without consideration you might end up ruining an important relationship.
It’s something we should be careful about.
There’s nothing to worry about! Everyone, just keep your eyes forward! I’ll watch your backs.Yu Nishinoya
Haikyu!!, the wildly popular manga that has become a new flagship work themed around volleyball.
The line by the character Yū Nishinoya—“There’s nothing to worry about! Everyone, just keep your eyes forward! I’ll protect your backs!”—is a powerful quote precisely because he’s a libero, a defense specialist in volleyball.
The message, “Don’t worry, I’ll always do my job,” couldn’t be more reassuring for those who fight as a team.
It’s a gem of a quote that shines all the more thanks to the bonds between teammates.
My life is anything but boring! I’m so happy to have a family that I’d love to share some of that happiness with you all!Hiroshi Nohara
This is a famous quote from the animated feature film Crayon Shin-chan: The Storm Called: The Adult Empire Strikes Back.
Near the end of the movie, the villain Ken says to Hiroshi—who chooses a future with his family over the past—“What a boring life you’ve had,” with a touch of regret.
At that moment, as he forces open the elevator doors, Hiroshi passionately speaks about the greatness of family—a deeply moving scene.
I don’t care about the past! What I want to see is your “now”!NEW!Yoichi Isagi
A passionate line directed at his teammate, Hyoma Chigiri.
Yoichi, who pushed Chigiri forward when he was trapped by the trauma of his knee injury and couldn’t give his all—this might be the coolest scene in the first half of the story.
Even though everyone is a rival, they’re also teammates; in such a complicated situation, Yoichi can still be considerate of others—truly a main character.
No matter what happened in the past, what matters is the “now.” Even when we understand that, it’s hard to take the leap, isn’t it? I think it’s a great quote that can have a positive impact on your life, too!
Friends are about trusting each other!Dolly
Even if you fail or lose your way, as long as you have faith, you’ll be okay.
Choosing to trust someone sometimes takes courage.
But it’s in difficult times that mutual trust forges a stronger bond between hearts.
Forgetful and a bit clumsy as she is, it’s precisely Dory’s brightness and straightforwardness that let her words reach us directly.
Even when there’s anxiety or misunderstandings, as long as we don’t forget to trust, friendship can surely overcome hardship.
Let’s choose to believe in our friends, again and again.
It’s a quote that gives us that kind of hope.
Thought-Provoking, Philosophical Anime Quotes (1–10)
You are already dead.Kenshiro
It’s a line said after defeating one of the early tough enemies in Fist of the North Star.
It’s from a fairly old anime, but the quote is widely known—from hardcore fans to the general public.
It’s also called “hitting the pressure points,” and it’s the origin of the trope you see in many anime where a character snaps and gets stronger.
Give it a watch.
