What quotes are your favorites you will remember (anime)

Post by frostknight » 2025-12-25, 02:46

I'll start with my favorite one that i won't forget:

Obito pretending to be Madara:

What would you like to hear? I could say I did it on a whim or I planned it, or its for war or its for peace.

Have you ever prayed to God? (Yumemi Hoshino)

With these words, she awoke an interest to ultimate questions in me which had been quite dead since late childhood. Both my life story and my eternal destiny would be unrecognisable if not for this. How fitting it is that you ask this on Christmas.

I've read a truckful of manga and watched a boatload of anime, but I can't say there's any saying that comes to mind as so impactful. I'm more interested in the worlds and their doings, and the speech is just something to facilitate and convey that.

Never seen that before nor have I seen that anime., so not sure I can comment too much on it. Actually, I asked it on christmas eve to be honest. ;)

Watch the canon episodes of Naruto Shippuden, you'll find more than just the quote I put up.

That quote though, is just so impactful and it conveys the goal of the villains in shippuden so well. (Minus Black Zetsu and the Zombie pair!)

But yeah I don't think I will forget that ever and if I do, it will be because my mind goes into the toilet which hopefully will take a long time if not never.

I recommend Planetarian as the original visual novel, not the anime. It runs in English on Windows 2000 and up, also in Wine, and in Japanese even in Windows 98, so it should not be too hard. Consider the tip my Christmas gift to you. :)

I've watched all episodes of Naruto and Shippuuden several times. I can't really recall him saying that more than vaguely. I don't do dubs though, only subs.

I can throw in some recommendations though, in lieu of quotes:

(The obvious Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Ultimate/Hellsing, Fullmetal Alchemist/Brotherhood)

Saikyou Onmyouji no Isekai Tenseiki, Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu, Shinchou Yuusha: Kono Yuusha ga Ore TUEEE Kuse ni Shinchou Sugiru, Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!, Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata, Isekai Oji-san, Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou Sugite, Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha, Otomege Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu, Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra: Hametsu no Bunmei de Hajimeru Sekai Seifuku, Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki, Yofukashi no Uta, Hazure Waku no [Joutai Ijou Skill] de Saikyou ni Natta Ore ga Subete wo Juurin Suru made, Isekai Shikkaku, Isekai Yakkyoku, Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!, Youjo Senki.

Obito attacks the village and tries to steal the nine tails from Minato's wife Kushina.

They are naruto's parents as you know. When Minato faces Obito who is masked, he asks but why attack the village and then Oibto says as said above;

What wouldl you like to hear, I could say i did on a whim or I planned it or its for war or peace. And then they fight and when Obito decides to give up he says "I shall rule this world there are plenty of ways to do it!"

Then they end up sealing the nine tail fox in Naruto and they die afterwards.
I am the opposite and don't watch subs so... yeah.

Thank you. I just remembered a good quote.

I do remember that event and the actions that happened during that now, yeah. Can't say the dialogue stuck in my mind however.

Really... I thought it was a very powerful quote. Its basically saying "Everything I am doing is a means to an end."

The author found a very creative way to say that and i came away with being impressed by such a quote. I thought it had so many layers of intelligent thought put into it.
Off-topic:
Although, I have some passion towards creative fiction, so... Idk.

When I have the patience/energy I currently work on a book of my own, so that might be why also.

I mentioned this from a different username long ago... one that got deleted for various reasons.

Let's just say it was when I was way more arrogant and clueless about it.

But yeah

"People die when they are killed!"

"All according to keikaku!
(Translator's note: Keikaku means plan)"

"I'll take a potato chip and eat it!"

"It's over 9000!"

Yeah, all I can remember are some stupid internet memes. Nothing comes to mind from actually watching anime, I'm not really a quotes person. :D

Isekai and Space Opera tick the right boxes for me. New unexplored frontiers, advanced magic/science, endless possibilities (though I also do like Post-Apoc, which is the same but a mostly negative spin, like revenge isekai). That list is just most of what I've rated over 80 on AniList. ,) I'm sad that new entries in isekai manga seem to have dropped off though. At least there's enough to convert to anime for quite a while.

This one in particular has become a running joke with friends whenever I encounter translations, in anime or otherwise, which fail or refuse to adapt foreign words. Our discussion in the Linux thread about UI translation is a good example. :)

Just saw another "memorable" quote when re-watching Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki:

"Protecting the forest — it sounds so noble to say, but the thought that he is protecting it at all is mistaken. Nature is not so weak that it needs people to protect it. If it’s egotistical for people to presume to destroy nature, then it’s also egotistical to presume to protect it. Nature typically goes through destruction and rebirth all the time, and we’re just trying to keep it in a state that suits us." - Soma Kazya

Not anime, but this quote is from Touhou and I'd imagine it would go hard if it ever gets adapted to an anime... Shinki (my current avatar) to Reimu Hakurei during the final stage of Mystic Square:
Defeat me? How ridiculous!! A shrine maiden is nothing more than a dog of the gods.
