  (#20) Muzan Kibutsuji Hates When You Call Him Weak

  "Does my complexion look terrible to you? Does my face look pale to you? Do I look weak to you? Does it look like I haven't got long to live? Does it look like I'm close to death?"

  Before he became the first demon, Muzan Kibutsuji was weak and sickly. Now, whenever anyone reminds him of that painful chapter of his past, he becomes enraged. This particular quote was shouted at some random passersby who was unlucky enough to comment on his appearance. They paid the price for that.

  (#11) Kuroro Lucifer

  • Hunter x Hunter

  "Together, we are the Spider. I'm its head, and you're the legs. The legs do what the head says. But there will be times when the legs are more important than the head. If I die, someone else will take over. My orders are of utmost priority. My life is not. Be sure to make the right decision. I'm only a part of the Spider. What's important is the survival of the whole, not the individual."

  Chrollo Lucifer is a unique shonen villain in many ways, one of which is his acceptance that he is only a part of the whole when it comes to the Phantom Troupe. When Chrollo is kidnapped by Kurapika he shows a complete calmness, likely because he knows his troupe memebers will do what's best for the organization above all.

  (#5) Light Yagami

  • Death Note, Death Note: Re-light: L's Successors, Death Note, Death Note: The Last Name

  "This world is rotten and those who are making it rot deserve to die. Someone has to do it, so why not me? Even if it means sacrificing my own mind and soul, it's worth it. Because the world... can't go on like this. I wonder... what if someone else had picked up this notebook? Is there anyone out there other than me who'd be willing to eliminate the vermin from the world? If I don't do it, then who will? That's just it: there's no one, but I can do it. In fact, I'm the only one who can. I'll do it. Using the Death Note, I'll change the world."

  In this iconic quote, villain protagonist Light Yagami explains why he decided to use his magical weapon to eliminate criminals. While this line isn't quite as well known as memed-to-hell-and-back quotes like "I'll take a potato chip and eat it!" and "Just according to keikaku plan" this one offers insight into his mind.

  (#4) Orochimaru

  • Naruto, Naruto Shippūden, Naruto Shippuden the Movie: Bonds, Ninja World

  "Maybe, just maybe, there is no purpose in life... but if you linger a while longer in this world, you might discover something of value in it. Like how you discovered that flower. Or, how I discovered you one fateful night"

  The reason that Orochimaru commits so many atrocious acts of human experimentation is that he wants to live forever. He wants to live forever so that he can learn every jutsu that exists in the world. He doesn't see any meaning in ordinary life, but he's hoping to find its value by prolonging it. He imparts this wisdom to Kimimaro, who he hopes will find purpose in giving up his body to Orochimaru's quest for immortality.

  (#16) Marshall "Blackbeard" Teach

  • One Piece

  "People's dreams...never end!"

  While chowing down on a whole cherry pie and sitting on the ground in the middle of Mock Town, Blackbeard declares that the "new era" - the one in which the dreams of pirates will screech to a grinding halt - is total nonsense. Pirates are going to keep aiming for their goals, because people's dreams never end.

  (#17) Shinobu Sensui

  “Drop ink on the finest snow-white paper and it will inevitably absorb into black. Its purity demands it. Tainted men have immunities. Black does not absorb black.” 

  When he first becomes a Spirit Detective, Shinobu Sensui is "pure" - meaning, he wants to do the right thing, and believes that it is possible. But when he's awakened to the deep history of atrocities committed by humankind, it nearly destroys him.
