Anime quotes that inspire life and challenges (51–60)

You were certainly not weak. I pay you my respects.Akaza

You were certainly not weak. I pay you my respects. Akaza

When Akaza first met Tanjiro on the Mugen Train, he didn’t even acknowledge him, and when they met again in the Infinity Castle, he insulted Tanjiro as a weakling.

However, immediately after taking Tanjiro’s attack, he recognized how much Tanjiro had grown stronger through relentless training and said this line.

Although Akaza is one of the Twelve Kizuki and an enemy of Tanjiro and his friends, his nature is to acknowledge and respect those who are strong.

Spurred by these words, the final showdown between Tanjiro’s group and Akaza began.

It’s not about whether you can or can’t. There’s something you have to do.Shinobu Kocho

It's not about whether you can or can't. There's something you have to do. Kocho Shinobu

Here is a famous line spoken just as she delivered the final blow in her battle against Doma, her elder sister’s killer.

Because Shinobu Kocho is physically weak and can’t cut off a demon’s head, she isn’t a character who can defeat demons with a Nichirin Blade.

On top of that, her opponent Doma holds the rank of Upper Rank Two, far above her, and her body had already been battered.

Even so, these words carry a strength that seems to spur her on, as if to say that there are things you must do no matter how dire the situation.

It’s one of those phrases we’d like to recall at crucial moments in our everyday lives.

NANA

Life is all about falling seven times and getting up eight! Keep standing back up and you’ll win.Nana Osaki

Life is all about falling seven times and getting up eight! Keep standing back up and you’ll win. — Nana Osaki

The hugely popular manga NANA portrays the romances, friendships, and more of its protagonists, Nana Osaki and Nana Komatsu.

The fashion and music featured are also highly appealing.

One of the lines by the protagonist, Nana Osaki, is: “Life is about falling down seven times and getting up eight! If you keep standing back up, you’ll win.” It carries a powerful message: in life, we fail many times and grow by overcoming difficulties; no matter how many times you fall, if you keep getting back up, you can claim victory.

It’s an inspiring quote that gives you courage in life.

Gintama

Even if it’s a bit unkempt, living true to yourself is far more admirable.Gintoki Sakata

Gintoki Sakata, the protagonist of Gintama, grew up completely alone from a young age.

He’s freewheeling by nature—falling behind on rent, playing pachinko and betting on horse races—but he has no interest in making money; he prioritizes helping people in trouble over earning cash.

One of his lines is: “Even if it’s a little shabby, living true to yourself is far more admirable.” While he can be sloppy, that quote captures his determination to follow the path he believes in: he doesn’t mind living a rough, unkempt life if it means protecting his own pride and what’s important to him.

Death Note

Let’s show them that justice always prevails.L

Let's show them that justice always prevails.L

Here’s a quote from L in the anime Death Note, which has also been adapted into live action.

L is usually calm and a bit eccentric, but this quote conveys his conviction.

Those who know the original work will understand—born in the midst of an intense battle of wits, these words are incredibly cool.

SKET Dance

Don’t be ridiculous—there’s no such thing as a predetermined fate.Kazuyoshi Fuefuki (Switch)

Don't be ridiculous—there's no such thing as a predetermined fate. Kazuyoshi Fuefuki (Switch)

It’s a famous quote by Switch from the anime Sket Dance.

Hearing these words really gives you courage, doesn’t it? Even when you feel like saying, “It’s fate,” it’d be great if hearing Switch’s words could make you think, “No way!” instead.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Believe in yourself. Believe in the you that I believe in.Kamina

Believe in yourself! Not the you that I believe in… not the me that you believe in… believe in the you who believes in yourself!
Believe in yourself. Believe in the you that I believe in. — Kamina

This is a famous quote from Gurren Lagann.

It’s a line Kamina says to Simon when Simon has lost confidence.

It tells us that even if you can’t believe in yourself, there are others who believe in you—and when you lose confidence, you should think of those people and keep going.

Ghost in the Shell series

If you’re dissatisfied with the world, change yourself. If you don’t like that, shut your ears and eyes, keep your mouth closed, and live in solitude.Motoko Kusanagi

The protagonist of the Ghost in the Shell series, Motoko Kusanagi, has a fully cybernetic body.

Here are some wise words from her.

When the only thing that can confirm you are yourself is your own mind, it becomes a quote that pierces deeply—one that resonates precisely because of all the effort she has put in.

I absolutely have to be the one to do this.Zenitsu Agatsuma

I absolutely have to be the one to do this. Zenitsu Agatsuma

These words express Zenitsu’s resolve and tie into the episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle Arc, Chapter 1: Akaza’s Return.

At the time, Zenitsu was training with Tanjiro under the Hashira Gyomei Himejima.

Then a letter arrived.

It likely contained news of their master Kuwajima’s death.

Because one of his disciples had become a demon, Kuwajima took responsibility and committed seppuku.

Tanjiro worried about the downcast Zenitsu, but Zenitsu spoke this line and quietly reflected on what he had to do.

The First Step

As long as I can stand, there’s a chance!! There is a chance!!Ippo Makunouchi

As long as I can stand, there's a chance!! There's a chance!! — Ippo Makunouchi

Ippo Makunouchi, a high school student who used to be bullied, starts boxing after meeting a professional boxer, driven by a desire to become strong.

Through relentless effort, he grows into a professional boxer and climbs his way to becoming a world champion.

There’s a line of his: “As long as you can stand, you’ve got a chance! You’ve got a chance!” It means that no matter how cornered you are in a boxing match, as long as you’re in the ring and can get back on your feet, you still have a chance to win.

It’s a wonderful phrase that reflects the way he lives his life.
