Quotes you'll want to say out loud! A collection of cool lines from anime and words that strike the heart

Don’t let others hold the power of life and death over you!!Giyu Tomioka

Don't let others hold the power of life and death over you!

These are the words Giyu Tomioka says to Tanjiro Kamado in episode 1 of the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

It’s his response to Tanjiro’s plea for the life of his sister who has become a demon, and it also carries the message urging Tanjiro to grow strong so he can stay true to his convictions.

The alternation between forceful lines that can sound like anger and introspective monologue is key, giving the impression that he’s hurling a message at Tanjiro: be strong, stand on your own feet.

It’s a memorable scene that symbolizes the beginning of the story, giving Tanjiro the impetus to become someone who can fight demons.

Haikyuu is an anime that portrays the efforts of high school students devoted to volleyball.

In episode 16 of season 4, there’s a line delivered by the character Ryunosuke Tanaka.

He starts to doubt his own abilities and nearly breaks down, but he speaks this line as he fires himself up again.

It’s actually the latter half of a longer quote, so if you’re curious, I recommend checking out the whole thing.

Combined with the anime’s pacing and direction, it becomes a truly moving line.

On social media, many viewers said they found it encouraging.

No matter how crushed you are by your own weakness or inadequacy, keep your heart burning.Kyojuro Rengoku

Clip: Demon Slayer: Mugen Train Arc Episode 7, Kyojuro Rengoku — “No matter how crushed you are by your own weakness and inadequacy, set your heart ablaze, grit your teeth, and face forward.”

This is a passage from the final words that Kyojuro Rengoku left to Tanjiro and the others as depicted in the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train.

Even after being dealt a fatal wound by Akaza, Rengoku fought to the end without letting anyone else present die.

Saying, “Let’s talk one last time,” he called Tanjiro and Inosuke over and spoke these words.

Rengoku himself may have felt powerless during the battle with Akaza, but because he never gave up and did everything he could until the very end, these words carry even greater weight.

They’re words to remember when you feel like giving up while striving toward a goal.

It’s also well known for being quoted at various events and used in merchandise.

If you ever find yourself troubled by a decision, why not recall this line?

Talent is something you let bloom; sense is something you polish!!!Toru Oikawa

Talent is something you let blossom; sense is something you polish!!! (from Haikyu!! Anime Season 2, Episode 24)

This is a famous quote from Haikyu!!: “Talent is something you make bloom.

Sense is something you polish!!!” It conveys that even if you have talent, it’s meaningless unless you let it blossom, and that your sense or taste is useless unless you refine it.

Many people quit right away saying they have no talent, or give up saying they lack sense, but instead of wasting time saying such things, it’s better to seriously think about how you can improve even a little.

So I’ll make a miracle happen.Tokai Teio

[Anime Uma Musume Episode 12] The Great Actor’s Regret, the Emperor’s Oath [Spoilers]

Uma Musume Pretty Derby just keeps pushing the boundaries of anime, games, live shows, and digital mixes.

Season 2 is a fan favorite, but every episode and every scene is so full of iconic moments that picking just one is impossible.

Even so, this line and scene are among the very best: Tokai Teio’s words to Mejiro McQueen, who’s injured and unable to run in the pouring rain.

I’m pretty sure everyone who watched it cried.

Of course, afterward Tokai Teio won the Arima Kinen and showed McQueen the miracle he had promised.

[Bocchi the Rock!] Guitar Hero: "I don't want things to stay like this!!!"

A coming-of-age story about a lonely girl who discovers the guitar.

Even though the classic arc of slowly finding friends from a world without light is familiar, there’s something irresistibly captivating about this tale! The standout moment, with a famous line, is the scene on the day of the first live show.

When the performance is about to fall apart due to a typhoon and pressure, Bocchi-chan’s guitar solo saves the day.

I think many people shed tears at the line where Bocchi-chan unleashes her true self for the first time! It’s a quote you’ll want to hear again and again!
