Humor scale (1–10)

All I can rely on are my teammates and my own legs.

All I can rely on are my teammates and my own legs.

It’s a slogan that conjures up images of athletes shining in every event at the sports festival.

In team competitions, trust among teammates is the key, and in individual events, believing in your own ability leads directly to results.

This phrase uniquely highlights the importance of both, encouraging respect for the comrades you run with and the challenge of pushing your own limits.

It strikes a good balance between a serious attitude and a playful tone, making it memorable.

Even if you’re not confident in your athletic skills, it conveys the value of giving your all as a member of the team.

Put it on a poster or banner, and it becomes more than a simple cheer—it turns into words that sustain you through the entire day.

You are the hero of XX!

You are the hero of XX!

While teamwork is important at a sports day, the emergence of standout heroes is also a key factor in building excitement.

This slogan conveys a powerful hope that anyone can become a hero, while anticipating the arrival of such heroes.

Imagining what kind of hero they might be—a hero who represents the school, or one who symbolizes the team—adds to the fun.

We also recommend a version that shifts the focus from a single hero to the idea that everyone can be a different kind of hero.

Run! Scream! Laugh! Full speed ahead!

Run! Scream! Laugh! Full speed ahead!

This is a slogan that puts into words the energy for the sports festival held once a year.

Packed with the tension of competition, the cheers from the crowd, and the passion shared with teammates, it reflects the idea that everyone who participates is a star.

It doesn’t just celebrate speed, but also values fun and teamwork, conveyed with a catchy rhythm.

Its pleasing sound makes you want to say it out loud, and it’s easy to use at the opening ceremony or during cheer battles.

As a phrase to hype up the festival, it can also help strengthen class unity.

It’s recommended as a password of sorts for building a special day where everyone runs through with full power and a smile.

With a single line, you can leave a strong impression of your all-out approach to the events—running, jumping, tugging, and more.

If you incorporate a hero-style logo or signature pose into the poster, the overall design quality will be elevated significantly.

It will become a passionate line that conveys that the act of taking on a challenge itself has value, not just winning or losing.

The whole nation wept! An epic, moving final showdown.

Laugh rather than run!

This is a slogan that conveys the message that victory and defeat aren’t everything.

It’s perfect for a sports festival where both those who are good at sports and those who aren’t can each take center stage.

Free from fixation on effort or results, it embodies a positive spirit of laughing and enjoying the present moment.

Valuing the journey over the outcome fosters a sense of unity among teammates and a warm atmosphere across the whole school.

Even in tense situations, remembering these words will help you relax and smile naturally.

Used on posters or slogan boards, it will not only draw attention but also soothe the heart.

Anime and manga quote arrangements (1–10)

The combat power of 〇〇 is 530,000.

The combat power of 〇〇 is 530,000.

It’s a slogan that puts our strength into numbers to clearly put pressure on the opponent.

It’s one of the signature lines of Frieza from the Dragon Ball anime series, and it straightforwardly proclaims being strong.

While there are points of comparison—like the farmer’s power level being 5—the gap is so vast that it becomes hard to grasp, which is part of what makes this phrase impactful.

By emphasizing a power level so high it defies understanding and presenting oneself as an unknown entity, the goal is to intimidate the opponent.

It not only rallies us and applies pressure, but also evokes Frieza’s distinctive manner of speaking, adding an element of fun.
