Catch a glimpse of each character’s individuality! Memorable quotes from My Hero Academia

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

You can catch a glimpse of each character’s individuality! Memorable quotes from My Hero Academia (11–20)

Whether you win or lose, experience only comes alive when you look back on it.All Might

I’d like to introduce a quote from All Might, the protagonist’s admired hero.

His words teach us the importance of learning from failure.

For example, just as athletes review their games afterward to turn that reflection into success next time, we can grow by looking back on both our successes and failures.

The same applies at work: when a plan falls through, carefully analyzing what went wrong increases the chances that the next project will succeed.

These experiences lead to personal growth and new challenges.

When we fail, rather than just feeling down, we should take the time to reflect on why we failed.

Always learn from the basics and strive upward! If you don’t devote yourself single-mindedly, you’ll never become a top hero!Yaoyorozu Momo

To achieve great results, effort is necessary, and it’s important to have a straightforward determination to build up from small things.

These are lines from Momo Yaoyorozu that express the attitude of steadily accumulating small efforts and moving toward a goal.

The use of four-character idioms that convey the importance of steady accumulation and an earnest, straightforward approach clearly shows that this is what she values.

These words also carry a sense of hope for the future—that if you continue to work hard, you will eventually reach your goal.

Isn’t it because you’re amazing that I want to beat you?! Win!! I want to surpass you, you idiot!!!Izuku Midoriya

My Hero Academia anime iconic scene: Part 4 “Deku vs. Bakugo” (from Episode 7 of My Hero Academia)

Isn't it because you're amazing that I want to beat you?! Win!! I want to surpass you, you idiot!!! Izuku Midoriya

Watch on YouTube: “Isn’t it because you’re amazing that I want to beat you?! Win!! I want to surpass you, you idiot!!! Izuku Midoriya”

Known by the abbreviation “Hiroaka,” My Hero Academia ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2014 to 2024.

The protagonist Izuku Midoriya’s famous line, “It’s not that I want to beat you because you’re amazing!! I want to win!! I want to surpass you, you idiot!!!” conveys a sense of respect for his rival.

Rather than giving up because someone is incredible, the message is that it’s precisely because they’re incredible that you want to surpass them—a feeling born from a strong bond.

It’s a quote that can prompt you to think about who that person is for you.
