Ask Anime Week #7: What Was Something an Anime Character Said That Changed Your View About Life?

I have always been inspired by Ashirogi Muto (Akito Takagi and Moritaka Mashiro) of BAKUMAN. However, what really stuck to me was what Takagi said (along the lines of):

Manga and life are the same. A weekly manga lasts for a week, and life lasts until you die. So, do your best with the time you're given. Don't hold back! "Conceit" and "Luck" are important, but the most important one is "Hard Work".

It's still one of the motto I live by until now. :)

Flavours of Youth because this anime consists various stories on different takes but these 3 stories includes basic needs for our life. First thing is being Food, Second is being Clothing and 3rd one on Shelter. I have learned that time can make you heal also time can make you not have interest.

This line was from one of the first anime that I got addicted way back my highschool years; it's from Itachi Uchiha of Naruto. Honestly, he's not my favorite character in Naruto but somehow what he said got imprinted in mind:

"People's lives don't end when they die. It ends when they lose faith.”

With the recent happenings in my life now, this line became more impactful to me; losing faith is certainly much scarier than dying.

If my memory serves me right it has to be Edward Elric's (Fullmetal Alchemist) words which are "Can’t find a door? Make your own". His words didn't ring a bell when I first heard them and it was the second time that I accidentally watched a couple of years ago that it pierced through me. It made me realize that we shouldn't always rely on what comes our way instead we must create for us to achieve our goals or even surpass our goals.

As a good fan of romantic anime I remember that the phrase that most marked me in one of these anime was the one said by Shoko makinohara when she was cheering Sakuta in the anime of Seishun Buta Yarō, she said:

Life exists for us to become better, I live wishing that my current self is better than my yesterday's self.

It is a very simple phrase but it makes you realize how one of the real goals in life is simply to improve yourself compared to your current self instead of competing or comparing yourself with others.

It has always been since I heard the award winning speech of Madara Uchiha.

Wake up to reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live, the more you realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering and futility. Listen… Everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist. The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace initiates wars and hatred is born in order to protect love. There are nexuses, causal relationships that cannot be separated.

I want to sever the fate of this world. A world of only victors. A world of only peace. A world of only love. I will create such a world. I am the ghost of the Uchihas. For truly this reality is a hell.

This changed my view of the world so much.
It truly grew my brain up in a sense.
Although the speech is fiction, it talks true about real life events and happenings too.
An iconic speech, an iconic Villian, an evil war, but a righteous cause.

The word that actually changed my view of the world around me was what Gojo Satoru told Megumi when he was training him. He Said.

But no matter how many allies you have around you, when you die, you die alone. Winning by dying and winning even if you die are completely two different things.

This quote reminds me that no matter how many people support me, ultimately, I face my challenges alone. It shows the importance of attaining success without sacrificing one's health or life. It has shifted my perspective, making me prioritize my health above all else, especially during times of stress and struggle.
