Anime Quotes That Inspire Life and Courage to Take on Challenges (1–10)
What’s wrong with being a fake hero?Himmel
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, which won the Grand Prize at the 2021 Manga Taisho and gained further attention with its anime adaptation, is a fantasy that portrays RPG-like growth of its protagonist and the way companions overcome various hardships.
Frieren seeks to defeat the Demon King and restore peace to the world.
Among its memorable moments is the famous line, “It’s fine, even if I’m a fake hero.” It’s a moving scene where Frieren praises Himmel—who saved the world without wielding the Hero’s Sword—as “a true hero.”
The rest is up to you.Kento Nanami
This is the line Nanami Kento left to Yuji Itadori in the end.
While cutting down the swarming mutated humans one after another, Nanami’s body had already reached its limit—so much so that he murmured, “I’m tired.” In that moment, Mahito appeared behind him, and Nanami left these words to Yuji before being struck down.
Nanami hesitated at first, thinking, “If I tell Yuji this, it will become a curse that binds him,” but he ultimately decided to say it.
Considering Nanami’s emotions—including that inner conflict—makes the weight of these words all the more palpable.
Win. Only by winning is a challenge rewarded.Rein Ames
These are words spoken by Rayne Ames in the anime “Mashle: MAGIC AND MUSCLES,” describing the path by which challenges are rewarded.
The key point is that they’re said in the context of taking on a new challenge, urging that by winning here, the challenge will be rewarded and lead to recognition from others.
It also carries the implication that without victory, others won’t acknowledge you, which makes it feel like a strong message of support for winning.
Because the line comes from a character with a strict, imposing air, it leaves an impression that energizes you to move forward.
Itadori, tell everyone: ‘It wasn’t bad’!!Nobara Kugisaki
Just before she fell to Mahito’s attack, Nobara Kugisaki delivered a memorable line to Yuji Itadori.
Summing up everything—both the good and the bad—of her short sixteen years, her words painted one of the series’ most shocking scenes.
The fact that these were the words of someone who lost her life so young gives them extra impact, but regardless of age, there aren’t many people who could feel the same way at the end of their own lives.
It’s a quote born from facing her life head-on and, however awkwardly, running through it with everything she had.
Be proud. You are strong.Ryomen Sukuna
A famous line spoken by Ryomen Sukuna, who lurks inside Yuji Itadori, during his fight with Jogo, a central figure among the nature curses.
It follows “Among those I’ve fought, you were one of the better ones,” and shows that even as he effortlessly swats Jogo aside, he acknowledges his strength in that brief moment.
Seeing Jogo moved to tears makes it clear the praise was sincere, without lies or pretense.
Though it’s a battle of villain versus villain in the story, it’s a memorable quote that colors one of the most striking scenes of the Shibuya Incident.
I don’t want to have regrets about how I live my life.Yuji Itadori
The anime Jujutsu Kaisen, which has been drawing attention—such as being featured in a USJ attraction—includes this famous quote from its protagonist, Yuji Itadori.
He says this line when asked why he chose the path of fighting.
Since then, it has become a beloved quote that symbolizes the work and the character.
You can hear this line in Season 1, Episode 2.
It’s praised in the context of the surrounding scenes as well, so be sure to check it out.
By the way, in the original manga, it appears in Chapter 3.
Unfortunately, from here on it’s overtime work.Kento Nanami
This line of Nanami Kento’s captures the tense urgency of battle along with his distinctive calm and sense of humor all at once.
Because Nanami has experience as a salaryman and is usually serious, rational, and values his time, his unique comeback of bringing up “overtime work” in the middle of a fight really shines.
It eases the tension of combat while conveying his cool judgment and professionalism, making viewers crack a smile.
It perfectly reflects Nanami’s character, where earnestness and humor coexist, and it’s a line that leaves a lasting impression.
