  (#1) Koro-sensei

  • Assassination Classroom

  The best parts of Assassination Classroom are the parts where you can see how effective Korosensei is as a teacher. After speaking harshly to Karma, an arrogant boy with excellent grades, he explains why he chose to do so. His reasoning is sound, and it also shows how much he's thinking about the right teaching method for each child:

  I cut him down so he'll spring back up. The boy's enormously talented, there's no denying that. But he's a novice. He's not yet learned how to be worthy of that talent. He refuses to meet any challenge except on his own terms. He doesn't see the true value of competition. To a young person for whom everything comes easily, the pain of defeat can be a much needed wake-up call.

  On the surface the whole concept of exams may seem arbitrary, but deep down, it's not about grades, it's about rising to the occasion. It's about tasting the rapture an triumph and disgrace of failure. They go hand in hand you see. One is meaningless without the other. To win, one has to lose! The difference between the novice and the master is that the master has failed more times than the novice has tried.

  (#4) Vegeta

  • Dragon Ball Z Kai, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn, Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound, Dragon Ball Z: Bardock – The Father of Goku, Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks, Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler, Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan, Plan to Destroy the Saiya-jin, Dragon Ball: Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!, Dragon Ball

  When Goku is able to go Super Saiyan before Vegeta can, Vegeta's perceived inferiority nearly crushes him. But after training himself to the absolute limit, Vegeta stops caring about how he stacks up next to his rival. Only then is he able to surpass his own limits:

  Afraid not! There's more than one way to reach the goal. Yes... to each his own. My motivation was very different than Kakarot's. My motivation was to be the best. To be the greatest Saiyan alive, as I always have been... until Kakarot came into the picture that is. Kakarot's success was like a demon in my head. How could he be a Super Saiyan when I, the prince of all Saiyans, could not?

  The intensity of my training was maddening. At 450 times normal gravity, a basic training game became a desperate struggle for survival. Even the simplest moves required every ounce of willpower I had. I wasn't sure how long I could sustain the effort without breaking in two. It seemed like the only thing holding my body together was my one desire... to be better than Kakarot. At times, I thought I was losing my mind. Why couldn't I obtain what Kakarot had obtained? It didn't make sense. It was infuriating and it was my fury that kept me alive.

  I decided to continue my training in the solitude of space, where I would be unhindered by the distractions of the Earth, and when a violent electrical storm had erupted in the skies of the planet I was on, I welcomed it. It seemed fitting... like it was an outward manifestation of the storm that was raging inside of me. Then the meteors started coming down, but I was determined to survive and to protect my ship from destruction. It was my only way out, my only way out of the nightmarish heap of rubble. I thought I had everything under control, but then, the mother of all meteors seemed to appear out of nowhere to claim my ship and my life. Normally, it would have been child's play to blow up that rock, but after training at 450 times normal gravity for so long it took everything I had, and more! Then something just snapped, something inside of me.

  "No! No more! That's it! I don't care!" I didn't care anymore. I didn't care about being better than Kakarot. I didn't care about being a Super Saiyan. I didn't care if I lived. I didn't care about anything! And then... it happened. Yes, that's how it happened... That's how I became a Super Saiyan. The sleeper has awakened. I am the prince of all Saiyans once again!

  (#11) Akio Furukawa

  When Nagisa Furukawa expresses sadness over the idea that her parents had to give up their careers in order to take care of her, her father Akio lovingly denies that notion:

  A child's dream is their parents dream! You can make it come true for us! Don't you realize that our dream is to watch you live out your dream? Your mom and I didn't give up our dreams at all. Don't you get it, Nagisa? You ARE our dream. That's what being parents is all about. That's what being family is all about. If you get discouraged and give up now, then all our dreams [perish]!

  (#13) Tanya von Degurechaff Challenges God - 'Saga Of Tanya The Evil'

  Declaring war on God is probably the most badass speech a character can make. That's exactly Tanya von Degurechaff - a middle-aged man stuck in the body of a high-ranking female official - does in this speech:

  If there is a God who rules this world, it is a stern, solemn, and definitely a good being. A being that is far too great. God keeps forcing us to confront these cruel fates. As those were the rules of this world! Oh, God... I'll slice you into tiny pieces and feed you to the pigs! Our battlefield is no place for that piece of sh*t, God! I think it's time we took over God's work. We... will take God's place. Put the arrogant a**, God, out of a job!

  (#15) Akira Midousuji's Acceptance Speech - 'Yowamushi Pedal'

  After taking first place on the second day of the Inter-High, Akira Midousuji starts off his acceptance speech being gracious, before quickly devolving into cruelly mocking his opponents, and declaring his rigid views on winning and losing.

  Not only is this speech just plain alarming, it also highlight's Midousuji's fluctuating personality. In the previous episode, there's a flashback about his relationship with his mother, and he concludes that he had to be less rigid, not more. Yet, here he is, making this painfully amazing speech:

  Hello everyone. My name is Akira Midousuji. I have one thing to say about today's race. Gross! Oh, excuse me, there was something wrong with the mic. Today I was involved in a very close race at the end. I was able to keep racing until the end because of my fans, my teammates, the support staff, and because I had these two strong, strong rivals. Because I had rivals. They're lizards. Like lizards who crawl around and are quick to hide under rocks. Because these imbeciles on either side of me rode without courage or strength, I was able to win.

  Gross! Gross gross gross gross gross gross gross gross gross! What's wrong? You look nonchalant! And you look so formal! You look like you're not frustrated! Your fans are disappointed! You've got to show them a greater variety of expressions! Are you trying to show off? Aren't you actually seething with frustration? Don't you wish that you could do it over if you had a time machine? But too bad! You lost! There's no price you can pay to change the results.

  They just barely lost! But in road racing, it doesn't matter how close you were. It's not the difference, but the rank. One kilometer, ten kilometer, a centimeter, it's all the same. Road racing is win or lose! Topography! Strategy! Resourcefulness! Will! Strength! Decision-making ability! In every way, I was far superior to these pests! I proved that of all the people who raced today, I was the most right!

  (#9) Chiyuki's Speech On Human Nature - 'Death Parade'

  Death Parade is about Decim, an arbiter whose job is to decide whether humans get reincarnated or not after putting them through elaborate, and often cruel, tests. Chiyuki, a human temporarily assisting him, corrects a few of his misunderstandings about humanity in the following outburst:

  People aren't as complex as you think they are. They're simple, and they get sad or angry over simple things. That's how they are. They're quickly affected by the littlest things, and live without knowing where they're going to fall down. That's who people are!
