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

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.

I lost. In that moment, I was utterly defeated. It was fair and square—a splendid technique.Akaza

These are the words Akaza speaks to himself as he regains his senses during the battle with Tanjiro and Giyu, seeking to accept defeat.

At this moment, he also recalls his human past and is ready to acknowledge his loss and fade away, yet the part of him that is a demon refuses to allow it—his final inner struggle.

It’s not merely an internal conflict, either; the will of the demon is linked to Kibutsuji Muzan, so it also conveys his severance from the demons.

In the way he tries to accept defeat head-on, you can feel the warrior’s pride that lies at the core of Akaza.

Even if you are not the chosen one and even if you lack strength, there are times when a person simply cannot back down.Tanjiro Kamado

These words express a strong will and resolve: that even ordinary people without special talents or powers face situations they must confront.

You can also sense the self-encouragement to overcome fear—the determination to face challenges that even feel reckless to oneself.

By daring to put it into words, it conveys a powerful will and hope to carve out the future no matter what.

Because Tanjiro keeps working hard and moving forward little by little, this line makes you believe he will overcome hardships.

Don’t be ashamed. The ones who are alive are the winners. Don’t misjudge your chance.Tengen Uzui

These 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

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.

I will never give up!!Tanjiro Kamado

[Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Episode 12] Tanjiro's self-encouraging words are awesome! 'I will never be defeated.'

These are the words Tanjiro said to spur himself on during his battle with Kyogai, the demon who attacks by striking the drums attached to his body.

Having suffered severe injuries in the previous fights, Tanjiro grows timid, fearing the enemy’s attacks.

Yet even then, he regains his resolve with these words.

It’s a line that perfectly reflects Tanjiro’s nature of never giving up, no matter the circumstances.

When I face difficulties, I want to remember these words and keep pushing forward.

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

[Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc] Shinobu Kocho’s famous quote: “It’s not about whether you can or can’t. There are things you have to do.” [Heroine Legend]

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.
