Being a hero is a job where you stake your life to put idealism into practice!Izuku Midoriya
I’d like to introduce a famous quote by the protagonist, Izuku Midoriya.
From these words of someone striving toward his dream, we can feel the image of a true hero—someone who sticks to the justice they believe in even in difficult circumstances.
In reality, however, it’s not easy to protect your friends without regard for your own safety or to actively help those who are vulnerable.
Still, by keeping these words in your heart and acting each day with your own convictions, the capacity to care for others may naturally grow within you.
When you find yourself in a tough situation, try to remember this quote.

Ochaco Uraraka, who embodies effort and kindness, tells us that the future changes depending on our actions, so rather than just waiting, it’s important to take the initiative and work hard.
Continuing with clear goals may be what brings you closer to the future you hope for.
By taking proactive action, you’ll have more chances to make your dreams and goals come true.

Violence wielded for the sake of others becomes a noble tale, doesn’t it? Isn’t that right, hero?Tomura Shigaraki
We tend to have a strong image of violence as something bad, yet violence carried out for someone else’s sake is sometimes told as a heartwarming story, isn’t it? This is a provocative appeal about those moments when violence is framed as a good deed—a line from Tomura Shigaraki that makes you think about the use of power.
It’s a message that both justifies his own actions and sows doubt in the opponent, even suggesting a sense of strategy.
No matter the form, it’s still violence, and it makes you realize that what truly matters is how power is exercised.

After being told this much and still not doing it… that wouldn’t be very rock, would it?Kyoka Jiro
Rather than being swayed by others’ opinions, acting solely on your own thoughts can also be seen as a way of staying true to your will.
This is a line spoken by Kyoka Jiro that captures the moment when such a personal will is moved by the opinions around her.
While she believes that being carried along by others isn’t true to herself, you can also see the idea that sometimes listening to those opinions is important for staying true to oneself.
It feels like a message that the relationships around us are an essential element in shaping who we are.
If you keep looking down on others forever, you’ll never realize your own weakness.Katsuki Bakugo
Comparing yourself to others is something anyone can end up doing, and some people might even have strong feelings of inferiority or superiority.
Among those kinds of comparisons, this line focuses on the mindset of looking down on others, and says that mindset is what keeps you from seeing what’s around you—these are Bakugo Katsuki’s words.

Rather than centering everything on yourself, these words make you realize that recognizing things with a broader perspective is what leads to growth.

These words convey the pain of how unfair the world can be, while also expressing a resolve to change it.
It matters that Shota Aizawa said this to his students—there’s a message urging them to become that kind of person.
It speaks to living as a hero, and also to the importance of recognizing what only you can do.
It’s the kind of statement that makes you think about a way of life that’s true to yourself, different from those around you, and about what you can do that others cannot.
