Memorable Quotes

Young man... you too can become a hero.

— All Might

Context:

In Season 1, Episode 2, after Izuku recklessly tries to save Bakugo from the Sludge Villain despite being Quirkless, All Might is inspired by his heroic spirit and delivers this powerful affirmation.

Meaning:

This is the pivotal line that ignites the entire series. For Izuku, who had been told his dream was impossible his entire life, hearing these words from his greatest idol is a moment of profound validation and the true origin of his journey.

It's your power, isn't it?!

— Izuku Midoriya

Context:

During their one-on-one fight at the U.A. Sports Festival in Season 2, Episode 10 (overall episode 23), Izuku yells this at Shoto, who is refusing to use the fire side of his Quirk out of hatred for his father.

Meaning:

This quote is a turning point for Shoto Todoroki. It forces him to reclaim his own identity and power, separate from the abusive legacy of his father, Endeavor. Izuku's words help Shoto realize that his fire Quirk is his own to command, not a tool of his father's ambition.

If all you ever do is look down on people, you won't be able to recognize your own weaknesses.

— Katsuki Bakugo

Context:

Meaning:

This line marks a significant moment of self-awareness and growth for Bakugo. In advising others, he directly confronts the very arrogance that was his greatest flaw for most of the series, showing his evolution from a bully to a maturing hero.

A true hero saves not only their lives, but also their spirits.

— All Might

Context:

This is part of All Might's guiding philosophy, which he imparts to Izuku. It is a recurring idea that shapes Izuku's own heroic ideals throughout the series.

Meaning:

This quote encapsulates the core philosophy of heroism in the series. It defines a hero's duty as something deeper than just physical rescue; it's about providing hope, reassurance, and inspiration to those in need.
