― Emporio Ivankov (One Piece)

― Jack Rakan (Negima!)

And if he gouges my eyes out, I'll curse him from the grave! Even if I'm torn to shreds, I'm taking Sasuke back from Orochimaru!"

― Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto)

"We don't have a word for hero. Being prepared to die for your family and friends, or what you hold dear, is a basic requirement for a Mando, so it's not worth a separate word. It's only cowards we had to find a special name for."
