Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo - Movie Quotes
Memorable Quotes
Stop talking.
— Starfire
Context:
Spoken at the climax of the film, just after the final battle is won. Robin and Starfire are alone, and he is trying to explain that he was wrong and that being a hero isn't all he is. Before he can finish, Starfire smiles and delivers this line right before they share their first real kiss.
Meaning:
This line is the culmination of five seasons of romantic tension between Starfire and Robin. After Robin finally starts to open up and stammers through his feelings, Starfire gently cuts him off, showing that she understands him without needing the words. It's a moment of emotional release and signifies that the time for hesitation is over.
I know what it means to be a hero, Commander. And trust me - you are no hero.
— Robin
Context:
Robin says this to Commander Daizo during their final confrontation. Daizo boasts that even if Robin defeats him, the people of Tokyo will still see him as a hero and Robin as a criminal. Robin's icy retort dismisses Daizo's superficial understanding of heroism.
Meaning:
This quote encapsulates the film's core theme of what truly defines a hero. Robin, who has spent the entire movie grappling with his identity as a hero, delivers this line with absolute certainty. It's not about fame or public perception, but about integrity and sacrifice, qualities that Daizo completely lacks.
You know, Beast Boy, sometimes, even heroes need a vacation.
— Robin
Context:
This is one of the final lines of the movie. After receiving medals of honor, Beast Boy laments that they probably have to go home now. Robin, holding hands with Starfire, surprises everyone by agreeing to extend their stay in Tokyo for a well-earned vacation.
Meaning:
This line signifies the completion of Robin's character arc. Throughout the movie and the series, he has been resistant to taking time off or relaxing his duties. By finally agreeing with Beast Boy, who has wanted a vacation from the beginning, Robin shows that he has learned to balance his responsibilities with his personal life and the needs of his friends.
I'm a hero, Starfire, and if you don't like it...
— Robin
Context:
This exchange happens after one of their near-kisses is interrupted by Robin's focus on the mission, which upsets Starfire. He confronts her about it, leading to this defensive statement. Starfire replies, "Robin? I like it more than you will ever know," showing her acceptance of all parts of him.
Meaning:
This quote, and Starfire's reply, perfectly illustrates the central conflict between them. Robin uses his hero identity as a shield to keep from getting emotionally close, believing it defines him completely. Starfire's response shows she loves that part of him but also sees the person underneath, highlighting his misunderstanding of her feelings.
