Famous anime quotes : One Piece : HELP ME! たすけてくれ Tasukete kure

This phrase is used a lot in One Piece. Imagine Luffy chasing after Usopp as he screams “Taskute Kure” at the top of his lungs. This anime phrase is often used by the damsel in distress or the weaker characters that need saving. You could also use this phrase if you find yourself, god-forbid, without a wifi connection.

Another one of Luffy’s really famous phrases is:

証拠を見せてやる！
shouko o misete yaru.”
I’ll prove it to you!

One Piece

Famous anime quotes : Naruto :Wait a minute! ちょっとまって Chotto Matte

This classic phrase is certainly heavily used in Naruto, with ninjas running around everywhere, people just need to learn to slow down. Sasuke!!! Chotto Matte, you can’t go running off to join Orochimaru! Chotto Matte is a fantastic and versatile phrase that is used a lot in anime as well as everyday life in Japan. When you want things to slow down throw out a “chotto matte” to make sure that they slow down to a pace you are comfortable with.

Another great phrase from Naruto is

“イルカ先生に手を出すな。殺すぞ。
iruka sensei no te o dasu na. korosu zo”.
Don’t touch Iruka-sensei. I’ll kill you.

Naruto

Famous anime quotes : Death Note :Let’s Go! いくぞ IkuZo

When Light Yagami from Death Note is in a rush to go and serve his justice he will us Iku Zo. Iku Zo Ryuk! I wanna go and use the death note and save the world from all those bad people.

Iku Zo is a fantastic phrase to use if you are totally fired up and excited to go somewhere. It definitely has an exciting and somewhat aggressive feel to it. If the situation calls for some haste, then Iku Zo should be the go-to phrase of choice. If your brother or sister is in danger, fly out of the door with an Iku Zo to let people know you are serious and mean business!

Famous anime quotes : Dragonball :Shikkari Shiro しっかりしろ Get a grip

Who doesn’t love Dragonball? Goku! Shikkari Shiro, you are going to need more than Super Sayan 4 to take down this dude! This is a really commonly used word in many action anime titles, especially in Dragonball. Shikkari Shiro can be used to tell someone to get a grip. Perhaps they are not being their usual selves or have made a fatal mistake, you can use. Shikarri Shiro.

Famous anime quotes : What on earth do you mean いったいどういういみですかIttai dou iu imi desu ka

Ichigo? Ittai Dou Iu Imi desu ka? He’s not a hollow, he’s a regular Shinigami. Ittai Dou Iu Imi Desu Ka means, “What on earth do you mean” and it’s a really common phrase in both anime and real life. When you are completely confused or when something sounds wrong to you, you can use this phrase.

Famous anime quotes : I’ll never give up ぜったいあきらめない Zettai Akiramenai

This is definitely my personal favourite of today’s phrases. You can’t be a hero in the anime world without Zettai Akiramenai. This means I’ll never give up and is essentially the foundation of every great action anime out there! You can use this for an upcoming test, sports match or even a food challenge.
